quadratic equation

Hello, and welcome to What The Hell Is She Up To NOW? day here on the socials. It’s an excellent question. Thank you for asking.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide a coherent response because I am not exactly sure. But anyway, here’s a pier presented in slivers of itself.

This place was lovely in its desolation.

I mean, I’m sure it’s lovely in the summer with the lights on and music and people and ice cream and sunburns or whatever.

But to me, it is hard to improve on a foggy day with no one else around and a convenient opening in a fence that allows a photographer to step inside and enjoy the moment.

Look! More from the off season. It is really sort of silly how much I enjoy this photo.

I believe that seeing things in the off-season (like this beach and amusement park) is somehow related to my affection for looking around the back of buildings.

And I know without a doubt that I much prefer quieter, duller amusement parks to their mid-summer counterparts.

sea/glass

I started the run of photos from my trip with a sunset, so I guess it makes sense to end with a sunrise…

The way those waves were backlit by the rising sun fascinated me: it reminds me of molten glass. And you can go ahead and relax because I will only post this one image (of the 100 or so that I made of the exact same thing).
