Tidal pool.

Multicolored rocks: Black, grey, white. They contain a pool of water; the rocks beneath the pool are have more intense coloration, including yellow and orange.

Okay, how about a color photo for Monochrome Monday because I'm feeling frisky and because there's a quote from American photographer Walker Evans that has been rattling around in my brain for the last two days that I have to share.

"Color tends to corrupt photography, and absolute color corrupts it absolutely. There are four simple words for the matter which must be whispered: Color photography is vulgar."

(Note: Walker changed his mind later in life and his color photos are delightful.)

Anyway, Happy Monday everyone. Here's to a little bit of color... and vulgarity. May your week have some of both.

A picture taken on a foggy day on Haight Street in San Francisco... looking up at windows above a storefront on that busy street. Hanging out of one of the windows on the building's second story: two giant fiberglass legs in fishnet stockings and red high heels. The legs are enjoying the breeze.

A 'Human Trap' I found on one of my hikes it even has a beer can in there, but did I fall for it? Yes, yes I did 😂

What an amazing #SolarEclipse we witnessed this week! I photographed it from Peñafiel in the north of #Spain, home to a beautiful castle that provided the perfect foreground for the spectacular #eclipse. No picture can do it justice though: there's no substitute to actually seeing a total eclipse in person.

#astronomy #astrophotography #photography #eclipse2026 #SolarEclipse2026

$A photograph of a dimly lit castle silhouetted against the dusk sky. It's a combination of multiple exposures, with the Sun appearing as a sequence of discs crossing the sky diagonally above the castle. A progressively smaller fraction of the Sun is visible as the eclipse progresses. Right above the castle the eclipse reaches the total phase, with the Sun completely blocked by the Moon, revealing a fiery corona around it. The sequence continues towards the horizon, with the Sun progressively reappearing.$

A silhouette of several sailboats docked in a calm body of water during twilight. The sky transitions from deep blue at the top to light yellow and orange near the horizon. Multiple sailboat masts and hulls appear as dark shapes against the lighter part of the sky. The still surface of the water reflects the vertical lines of the masts and the colors from the horizon. Wispy clouds are scattered across the middle section of the sky.

Hiking Massif trail in #Norway: part 1. First few days were brutally difficult, long and techincal stages through the rock fields and snow of Breheimen national park. They were very challenging to complete with a heavy multi-day backpack, and not a hut-to-hut day pack they seem to be designed around. Still, everything could be forgiven for these otherworldly views!

Zigzagging through the shadows.

Catching a bit of the morning sunlight in the forest, a shrub is showing its bright red and orange Autumn foliage.

Despite its rich pleasing leaves, it is a non-native invasive species here in Griffith Woods Park, that has likely escaped from someone's yard and is lurking in the shadows making expansion plans.

…fabulous film-noir stills of Central Station
of freezing fog silvering the chilled, stilled parks
of the glamorous past
where drops on a rainmate are sequins
in the lamplight, in the black-and-white…

—Liz Lochhead, “Some Old Photographs”

Today, 19 August, is World Photography Day

Some Old Photographs
Liz Lochhead

Weather evocative as scent

the romance of dark stormclouds
in big skies over the low wide river
of long shadows and longer shafts of light

of smoke
fabulous film-noir stills of Central Station
of freezing fog silvering the chilled, stilled parks
of the glamorous past
where drops on a rainmate are sequins
in the lamplight, in the black-and-white

your young, still-lovely mother laughs, the
hem of her sundress whipped up
by a wind on a beach
somewhere doon the watter
before you were even born

all the dads in hats
are making for Central at five past five
in the snow, in the rain, in the sudden what-a-scorcher,
in the smog, their
belted dark overcoats white-spattered by the starlings

starlings swarming
in that perfect and permanent cloud
above what was
never really this photograph
but always all the passing now
and noise and stink and smoky breath of George Square
wee boays, a duchess, bunting, there’s a
big launch on the Clyde
and that boat is yet to sail

Central Station, Glasgow 1960. © Newsquest (H&T) Glasgow Herald and Times. A black-and-white photo of the stairs leading to the concourse in Glasgow’s Central Station, 1960. Figures of men and women are silhouetted against the horizontal bars of the staircase. At the top, a crowd of people wait for trains. Advert hoardings for Capstan Cigarettes and Johnnie Walker whisky hang in the steamy, smoky air above the crowd.

“even though they are in colour, the Glasgow light – its tarnished humidity, its 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 – gives the photographs something of the timelessness that monochrome bestows”

Photography-focused review of the Pixel11. Probably not of interest unless you care a whole lot about taking pix with your phone. Hey, it's a good camera, all the Pixels are.

What really caught my eye was the straightforward assumption that photography AI is bad and that it's nice that the P11 has less than the P10. And then the Gemini conversational photo editor screwing up and squirming obsequiously was pretty hilarious.
