    WTF!!! Tells That Common Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’

    DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even and as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action.

      Pilot Mountain - The Failed 2nd Coming
      --

      One of my first ever big expeditions with a Camera was, against all good reason, was to climb the 3-4 miles to the top of Pilot Mountain - after working 10 hours that day.

      Thursday, I had it in mind to come back to the mountain with fresh eyes and some experience.

      Well... ehhh, I also didn't plan the timing of the day very well, as, as you can see, I don't have an actual photo of the mountain.

      "Firekeeper, why do you not have pretty picture of Mountain?"

      BECAUSE THE SUN WAS BEHIND IT!

      Ughh, Charlie Brown. Well, I suppose my next visit to this splendiferous Mountain will be had at 7:00pm rather than 7:00am next round, but nonetheless, I did walk the top and grab shots as I went, and made the most of the morning mist down below, or as much as I could of it.

      I took WAY more photos than I thought I did Thursday so these first four will be the first of eight to twelve from that trip. Right now, 8 seems more definite, so here's the first 4 that I've edited thus far.

        I bought an NEX-6 for Urban and "covert" photography. This is my first e-mount camera, and should tuck into my messenger bag just fine, but I gotta wait a bit, the seller is out of town until next seek.

        Ideally, I want a ~50mm pancake equivalent for this to match my R8. Something in the 24-35mm range should do for APS-C. I'm not that picky, but for now, the stock lens will do fine, and it closes up rather tiny even if it is a zoom lens. All good!

          Random question for the Fediverse... looking for a cheap game camera to strap into a tree (my own)... mountain lion moved into the neighborhood and would like to see if it's going through a field near me. Not close enough to the house to wire.. Suggestions/thoughts? Not looking for anything fancy, just something reliable and weather proof, SD card. No need for connectivity. Just want to check it occasionally.

            Today was a special day. As you can see, there's concrete in these photos. This is "The Jungle" as they say, full of apes, not squirrels, and this Jungle in particular, is downtown Statesville, NC.

            Why Statesville, plaid-clad camera-person?
            Because Statesville is the new location of my cousin's tattoo parlor, that just opened, and I got to photograph it!

            It's called "The Parlor", go on, go there, he's awesome.

            While those photos aren't public, Statesville very much is, so here's some photos I took yesterday of downtown.

            As usual, my goal isn't as much to document where I am like I'm trying to prove it exists to a speculative audience, I just took a few shots while I was there.

              And so, The Firekeeper was just out there, in Tanglewood, as he tends to be, taking photos of trees and plants and the like, walking about as he does...

              This is a very manecured place. It's part golf course to keep the Tesla and Corvette drivers busy and off of the highways during the day, but if you walk out far enough, you can still find some rustic rather untouched wilderness, my kinda stuff.

              I did end up walking out of the woods and finding Mallard lake right in front of me and beyond it, part of the golf course itself, but it was a pleasant surprise to walk out of the woods after half a mile of walking and "BEHOLD... LAKE".

              Oh yeah and happy first post on the new instance. Holla back y'all, my ego needs it.


              Some of the gardens around the Arboretum. Most of the flowers have come and gone... gotta be faster about these things, still mighty green tho.
