"Are you so arrogant that you think your posts are worth reading?" Yes. Actually, I think that's a pretty good minimum threshold for anyone posting something.

I'm afraid union rules preclude me from explaining my jokes. Apologies if I have confused anyone.

The other thing that drives me nuts about Leica is their marketing, which makes you feel like you're buying fine jewelry rather than a useful camera system.

The Lincoln Memorial, an iconic DC tourist attraction, is crowded and bustling year round. But in the middle of the night, when it's empty and quiet, it becomes a very different place. It's solemn and peaceful in a way that takes you by surprise. I lingered longer than I needed to when taking this photo.Part of my "slightly better versions of the pictures of local attractions than you might find hanging in your hotel room" series.

Telegraph poles like these, with multiple "code lines", were once a common feature along American railroads. They are distinguishable from ordinary power or telephone lines by their multitude of cables, often occupying several crossarms. They typically carried a power bus plus individual lines for the signals along the route, with more efficient encodings used as technology improved.They've been mostly supplanted by more modern SCADA systems that don't require so many individual wires.

It's been difficult to separate the new World Trade Center building from that terrible day in 2001, but we now have the benefit of just enough time that we can begin to discuss the tower as a piece of architecture and as part of the skyline, on its own terms.This photo was made shortly after the new building was completed.

@happykhan My apologies if the image hosting platform I use isn’t cool enough for you.

The good news is that my windows are evidently well installed.

@mattblaze My answer is in my profile for @urbandinosaurs, my photography account: Phil Ochs: “In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.”

London's "Thin House" looks as if it belongs in a Potemkin village or as a background facade on a Hollywood studio lot, but it's something of a Tardis, larger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Created to make way for the tracks of the Metropolitan Railway (now the District and Circle lines) behind it, its triangular footprint gives it the illusion of being little more than a shallow rectangle when viewed from the street.
