Photos by Anjali -- Water Series II, The Susquehanna

Segovia? Lyon? Val d'Aosta?
Not a Roman aqueduct.
Laura was crossing the Susquehanna at Harrisburg, heading toward Pittsburgh.
The river is nearly a mile wide there, spanned by railroad trestles, high enough to withstand flooding.
Anjali held up her cellphone and clicked.
Then they were on the other side.

For a song about another wide river, the Missouri, check out Jerry Garcia's "Shenandoah Lullaby." (Jerry's been gone 20 years this month.)

Wow! Taken with an iPhone from a moving car.

No wonder the sales of lower priced point and shoot cameras are declining.

I often hear people say the they need a better camera to take good pictures.

It is the photographer, not the camera.

Anjali, keep them coming.

Alan, all I know is that if I tried that, the photo would be lopsided and blurry. Have no idea what the process was. Artists just do.

Beautiful, perhaps Dreamer.

Meanwhile back at work, US. 8-nil, with lots of new young players on the patch, and 45,000 in the seats. Bienvenue a Brazil!

Nice photo but Pittsburgh should be off limits for Mets fans for a while.

“I don’t think people understand how Covid affects older Americans,” Mr. Caretti said with frustration. “In 2020, there was this all-in-this-together vibe, and it’s been annihilated. People just need to care about other people, man. That’s my soapbox.”
---Vic Caretti, 47, whose father recently died of Covid at 85.
---From an article by Paula Span, who covers old age for the NYT, which currently has 2646 comments, the majority criticizing the American public – and public officials – for acting as if the pandemic is “over.”
Classic wishful thinking, at a lethal level.
