The Wyeth painting of the girl at the gate. Wow.
The Chanaral photo is something else. I thought it must surely be a painting.
Rick McGinnis’s Belfast photo (which I love) is awfully reminiscent of a Harry Callahan photo you have posted in the past. A homage?
Camels … interesting.
Omer counter … humorous.
A bit of a homage, yes, Kishke.
How does one photograph via “Google Street View”? Nevertheless some interesting photos.
Ironic for one who loved life so intensely that she should die so young and on the flip of a coin (on taking the train vs plane)
“How does one photograph via “Google Street View”?”
Screen shot, I would guess. At high res.
Or maybe a photo of the screen?
Click on the Agoraphobi Photographer link for the whole story. Really interesting.

His Girl Friday is the best movie ever.
Theodore Roosevelt used the soubriquet ‘White House’ to descirbe The Presidential Residence. The nearest we have come in recent time to that great and good man is Ronald Reagan. Hope that Donald Trump is another incarnation.
Fortunately, she has been restored and is sailing again.
In one of his delightful memoirs, David Niven mentions the sad sight of Flynn’s yacht “Zaca” lying as a ruin in some port. That is probably it in the photo.
Happy Friday, Robert.
As usual, I love your selection of entries in this week’s Friday Photos. You grandson is adorable, but I am mesmerized by the Red Tail Hawk. I envy someone who can create something so life-like on a canvas.
