Today, this striking image appeared: the Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange (I-105 × I-110), a five-level interchange (the most complex in Los Angeles). Photo by David Ortega.
I spent a rainy day in 2018 walking around Tallinn, Estonia, taking in the #urban sites. I really enjoyed this city and I can’t wait to go back and explore it when it’s sunny and bustling! #OPCWeeklyTheme
Stone on the shore of the North Branch of the Chicago River. A world contained in every opening. You never know what you might find if you only look closely.
Saw this last week on my way to work. These butterflies were everywhere around Chicago! I was struck but the contrast of the butterfly with the faded college posters.
Been a bit busy so I have not had a chance to post in a while - hope to post some more photos over the next few days. I really enjoy #Pixelfed but sometimes hate posting from my phone. Looking forward to the update that will allow HEIC photos from the website.
Water extraction is sinking nearly half of China’s most populous cities, exacerbated by rapid urban expansion, researchers say. While subsiding land is not a new problem in the country, where Shanghai has sunk three meters over the past century, the amount of land in China resting below sea level could rise from 6% to 26% in the next 100 years. Scientists say the problem will leave 67 million people vulnerable to flooding, compounded by rising sea levels due to climate change. The BBC has more on the study.
A pic I took of the Jacksonville, FL skyline on an old digital camera back in December 2011. I revisited this photo several years later and tried to go with a “cinematic” look.
