There is a tunnel between parts of the Conservatory in the New York Botanical Garden that has changing colored lights. I added a grapefruit a spin on it.

I discovered that Photoshop doesn’t work well in my new computer with Windows 11. It keeps hanging. Adobe is working on it. While testing it out I created these edits.

Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Memorial on Roosevelt Island, NYC (for details see: Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park – Wikipedia). The trees in the second picture put out roots that go over the path’s border into the lawn to get water.

The Renwick Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island was built in 1856 from designs by James Renwick, Jr. It is the only landmarked ruin in New York City. Being a ruin is what gives it an air of mystery and charm.

The Queensboro Bridge, built in 1909, was the first bridge linking Queens to Manhattan. It was designed by engineer Gustav Lindenthal and architect Henry Hornbostel. An interesting tidbit is Simon and Garfunkle’s 1966 song “59th Street Bridge (Feelin’ Groovy)“. Read more about that and the bridge at Beyond the Village and Back: The Queensboro Bridge – Village Preservation.

This is the first of a half dozen posts of photographs made during a trip to Roosevelt Island in the East River on February 17^th 2022. The two mile long island is part of the borough of Manhattan, New York. The island was called Minnehanonck by the Lenape and Varkens Eylandt (Hog Island) by New Netherlanders (source: Roosevelt Island – Wikipedia). The trip was sponsored by Sierra Photo NYC. Some of these have augmented skies.

Boquete 4 Ways

I revised a picture of the hills of Boquete, Panama photographed in the early morning on May 18, 2014 after receiving an excellent critique by Blake Rudis f.64 Elite (f64elite.com) or f64 Academy (Blake also has a YouTube channel: f64 Academy – YouTube). I really like his courses and tools. I have learned a lot from him. I started taking his classes during the pandemic. I will let you decide which image works best of these 4. One of these is not a good composition.
