A slice of an autumn's evening in small-town South Dakota; my picture "Closing Time at the Drug Store".

I really like how my picture of an urban Arizona morning came out when an oil-painting effect applied. Those colors... 😍
So I'll share this with you: an oilized version of my "Escape from Paradise City".

"What, me? Answer a call to arms? When I just got married to the fairest damsel in the kingdom? What are you trying to do, ruin my whole life!?" 🙃
I can't help but get those vibes from this, but Edmund Blair Leighton's "Call to Arms" is so beautiful, who cares?

Hmm...during the bear market I scaled my payments way back and let my credit card balances run up again, but with stocks riding as high as they have been I'm gonna liquidate a big tranche to zero out my balances and free up lotsa credit. 🤑
Painting is "The Letter" by Edmund Blair Leighton.

We're not out of the dog days yet, but it's not too early to get a sneak preview of the season to come. This vibe is really captured in this view I captured, what I call my "Autumn Fire Windowward", like opening up a portal into those glorious colors in our very near future.

In a world where our houses have less color than Borg cubes, our road traffic is monochrome, our clothes are clad in neutrals, the bright vivid colors the darlings wear in George Sheridan Knowles's "The Duet" are a breath of fresh air. Be less like the Borg, and more like them.

TBH my (married...) best friend was more girlfriend-like to me than most actual "girlfriends" are, and our times together had all the characteristics of dates, so it turns out I've been in a relationship and had a girlfriend after all? 👀
Painting is Hugues Merle's "Romeo and Juliet".

The Badlands suffused in twilit clouds are truly special, like you slip from our world into some shadow realm of an alien planet. I dare say my new photographic piece "Dark Sentinels" goes some way to capture that atmosphere.

It's still the dog days of summer, and you know what that means: hot sun...and thunderstorms! These two darlings in Pierre Auguste Cot's "The Storm" are having the time of their lives fleeing one. Ah, to be this young and have a torrid summer romance...

Vibing to this tonight, and it really brings back memories of earlier in the summer, when I was driving through the Cascadian rainforest to this track as late as 3 AM, the fog, the stars, and the road my only companions.

We're so addled by statolatry we think if a government writes something on a paper and stores it somewhere that makes it "real". It's time we the people reclaimed our power to decide social reality.

That special ambiance of a SoCal freeway has been captured so many times in so many ways; this piece, which I call "Westbound on the 10", is my own latest contribution to that vast tradition.

Not sure if you too think she has an angelic face one could look at forever, but as for me, this fairest and earliest of fashion models never gets old. George Romney's "Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante"

When you gaze at the maritime horizon from the beach, what landmass are you really looking toward? The answer might surprise you.

You've probably heard of Old Faithful, America's most famous geyser; it's well worth seeing, as I did this summer. Here's my very own picture of an eruption. 😀

Poised, decorated, spiffy, and ready for a fun day; Paul César Helleu's "Portrait of a Woman" shows off a great vibe to cultivate in feminine fashion.

Some never admit it, but the whole world loves a beautiful girl who can hold herself up like she's the finest thing the gods ever created and dance so well one's very soul vibrates in her presence, someone like Pierre Carrier-Belleuse's "Young Ballerina Holding A Black Cat".

Hey, one of those mods from Simcity 4 got too realistic for its own good...or is it the verdant fields of Iceland? Nope! It's the American West's very own Hayden Valley, a very picturesque section of Yellowstone that's a bit more obscure than the likes of Old Faithful. 😀

Just sparing a thought for someone I know who has an even more brutal commute than mine: over 200 miles each way. Lucky for them they only do it like once a week, but still! 👀
Painting is James Hayllar's "Girls in Carriage Riding".
