Oh look it hit Flickr Explore… Grassland bleached white, no edits, no erasures. Just a Summicron’s honest frame:40 degree heat, and a tree built to outlast us. Close to the solstice on the 21st of December.
This image featured on Flickr Explore but was never intended as anything but a print. This is a 24×36″ Giclée limited edition signed print.
Social media rewards bright, sparkly, and highly saturated images but they are hard to live with. This would look good in a room where you want some calm.

This photo was selected for a curated Flickr Explore top 500 yesterday.
The brief was “street photography and there were over 30,000 submissions. Not every street is photogenic. Sometimes its just grim.

I use Flickr for the feedback of other photographers and for high quality photo storage but there is this thing called “explore” where they select 500 photos from the millions uploaded per day and highlight them to all users. nobody knows how or why a photo is selected but its based on interest in a photo. This photo hit explore last week and currently has 5000 views. Full size image on Flickr below

Ceramic glaze is a shiny coating applied to ceramics before firing. Uranium glaze is a type of ceramic glaze that contains uranium creating various colours and can emit a special glow under UV light. The radioactivity in uranium glazes is generally considered safe.
They were popular in the early to mid-20th century but are less common now. Antique ceramics with uranium glazes are sought after by collectors for their historical value and unique appearance.
