Artemis Rising…additional views
and the rest of the gentleman beside her……
More Kingston Street Art [corrected]
It’s Artemis not Aphrodite rising from the quarry. [I really should have known that.]
Near the Kingston Library
Sunlight
Sometimes it’s the OK shots that remind us of the importance of the basics of composing a photo.
For example the LIGHT matters…..
And now with flat light….
Street Art….Kingston, NY – part 2
More from Keegan Ale
Kingston, NY street art – part 1
Murals from the Keegan Ale parking area…
And across the street at the People’s Place.
These were done in conjunction with the O+ festival. They’re all signed, but I will have to go back and get better shots of their names.
Cliche, but…..
I know the world doesn’t really need more rainbow pictures, but I couldn’t resist. This one actually spanned the entire sky, so that you could see each end touch the horizon. I’d never seen that before, usually one end just fades away.
Cameo Hills Farm, Montgomery, NY.
This is a standardbred farm that has bred and raised some amazing horses, including Deweycheatumnhowe.
Miscellaneous wildlife from the garden
This snake surprised me, at first I thought it was a branch stuck in my boxwood, but no….. It stayed quite still while I tried to find a decent angle. I wish I could have gotten closer.
This is a Northern Harrier, not a Redtail. The field marking is a white patch at the base of its tail, that is easily visible when it flys away from you. It had some very successful hunting in our fields after we mowed, spending the better part of the day for about a week. It was very blaise about our presence and several times flew low and slow enough for Havoc to give chase.
A fuzzy picture of one of our House Wrens. The first nest of the season was in the upper skull (we watched six fledglings leave the nest) and the later nest was in this skull. I don’t know how many fledged from this attempt, they did so in private.

Street Art, Kingston, NY
Two of the newer wall murals on Broadway…
As usual I don’t have any information about the artists…..but Kingston has a surprising number of murals, many of which are part of the O+ festival…..so maybe there is a new project in my future…documenting Kingston’s street art…..
