I do enjoy this swirl on the inside of a shallow bowl made by an Athens (GA) potter-friend. It is a finger-ridge on the clay that has heightened the shading in the glaze. I like the crazing/crackle/craquelure*, too. Crazing is not crazy.
* The appropriate term depends on whether the effect is intentional or not, as I understand it. In this case, I dunno the intention.

Looks better than real, with those highlights and that reflection. [Are there eels in that water? At one time, in southern Britain, you paid your rent in eels…. Details here.]

Five minutes later, this prismatic effect had disappeared.

Dewy morning.
Dew on blue.
Blue with clouds.
Red Japanese maple leaves. Okay, this is the line that changes the game, although it’s the end here.

Leaf color report from ATL: these must be red oaks! 🤣
Okay. THIS is an authentic assessment. Pretty darned green here.

I called this image grasslight. It has nothing to do with gaslight, or the verb created from the 1944 psychological thriller movie title.

Dramatic sculpture. Simple concept. Well executed. A curved steel sheet with a cutout-outline, bent at a slightly different angle. Harder to describe than to contemplate.
Sculptor: Xavier Medina Campeny (b. 1943). Title: Homenaje a Martin Luther King. The sculptor is Spanish, from Barcelona. The piece was a gift from the 1992 Summer Olympics host city (yes, Barcelona) to Atlanta, the host of the next Summer Olympics, in 1996. [If Wikipeeee is correct.]

This is a ho-hum photo of commercial decorative art, yet somehow it catches the eye. Still: it’s ho-hum also.
On a personal note: trying to stay calm in advance of tomorrow’s voting.

I did pick a picture, massaged it. Thought it over-saturated, yet interesting. Couldn’t figure out what to write, and was tired, so I just went to bed.
Apologies.
