Captured with the Rodenstock 70mm/5.6 Digaron lens and a bit of vertical shift. The afternoon light highlights the basic arched form of the bridge structure against the background and foreground foliage. A polarizer darkened the clear winter sky.

The Taft Bridge, named for the notably hefty former president and SCOTUS chief justice, is the largest unreinforced concrete bridge in the world. Comprising seven major arches over Rock Creek Park, it links the Kalorama and Woodly Park neighborhoods.

You haven’t experienced that bridge fully until a crane rolls off it and gets stuck. Late-1980’s as I recall.

@jeff So much I'd love to photograph in the LA area!


"two one-way streets"

the rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday ;-) … and follow the tag.


#sundaygimp


(and also #Sunday-photo-edit )

Note: if you do not use gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

I'm in the "F"s in my alphabetical journey through my password manager cleanup. I just tried to log into flattr.com/ to change my address there, and I see that they shut down last year. 😞
For those who don't know, Flattr was a web content #micropayments platform.
If Flattr had succeeded, the web would be a better place today.
#AdTech is universally terrible.
Micro-payments would be better for most content providers than ads. I just don't know how to get there from here. *sigh*

I bought a whole case of Celsius at Costco thinking it was something like fruit flavored water. After the first can I almost dug a moat around my house because it seemed like something that I could do.

Okay, it actually just made me real jittery. I'm slowly going through the rest of the case at a half a can at a time.

Probably won't buy it again.

Even worse, most people don't realize it's secretly a diet drink. It doesn't say "diet" on the can, but it has artificial sweeteners.

"[The racism] is rooted in a long legacy in the United States of discrimination against ... Black immigrants and people coming from Haiti ...

American slaveholders feared they would invade and free enslaved Africans ...

The U.S. ruled Haiti with a system of racial violence [and] Americans were fed images of Haiti as a “voodoo and backwards, uncivilized Black country.” [which are] the roots for Trump’s comments about eating cats and dogs"

Voice recognition mistake of the day: "I have a mystery novel for dolts due September 30!" 🤪
That was supposed to be "for adults" since I also write for children.
