    Culvert along the Merced River.
    Portra 160, 300mm Fujinon-C f32 1/4"...if I remember correctly.

    Splendid and entertaining, Edwin –

    On one level, I feel the scrimmage between nature and industrialism.

    On another, I see an eye with a tear drop.

    On yet another, I’m reminded of exploring culverts when a kid – glad you’re still doing it!

    It is a favourite place to take pictures. Unfortunately most of my shots are with medium format. I am waiting for new 4X5 holders to come in the mail. When they get here I plan on spending a lot of time there.

    Re: What did you compose at Water’s Edge?

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I even did one where I was sitting on a rock on the other side wearing a black shirt to look like a pupil. Unfortunately, I didn't like my posture much so I scrapped it.

    There are some other interesting notes about this shot. When I was setting up I found a little bat crawling around on the ground. I figured I disturbed him so I carefully put him back up in a crack and he crawled right in. Didn't get rabies. And this is what I found just outside the culvert (see attachment).

    Yeah, that's right hundreds of daddy-long-legs. I actually also shot this with the 4x5 which was really hard because it was in a cavity between some rocks and I had to get the camera and tripod wedged into another cavity a few feet back. This required me to get my upper body into the second cavity in an inverted and very uncomfortable position. Once in there I got to thinking about the environment that those spiders were aggregating in and I had one of those moments of clarity upon realizing my head was jammed into the exact same type of hole. So I rotate my neck to look over my shoulder and immediately saw hundreds of "spiders" scurrying out across every surface all around my head. I could feel my higher brain trying to convince my lower brain that they were harmless but it didn't really want to listen.

    Well, I know French, but Italian is close enough to give this a try.

    I hope Francesco or Giovanni will iron-out the wrinkles:

    Francesco: A beautiful photo, and the tower’s detail is impressive. Was the photo taken at dawn?

    Giovanni: This was a vacation day at the beach, took the photo at about 8:00 p.m. – the hour of blue [or maybe “the magic hour”].

    This is interesting, you did perfectly, so maybe in the future
    I can ask you to translate my italian in a better english, I'm a luky guy!
    but can you explain this "Giovanni will iron-out the wrinkles"
    is a metaphoric phrase I argue what it means, thanks!

    Explaining that metaphor is more difficult than translating the Italian!

    Well, maybe it’s like – “ironing” a shirt [i.e., the translation] to look nice enough for church [this forum]. And yes, Dante could do better.

    Look forward to more of your Mediterranean scenes. ;^)
