New Project 52 for 2024

35/52: Fish ladder viewing area at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. The picture is a little bit "out of square" since I was not standing exactly in the middle or parallel with the glass. Plus, the angled recess of the concrete creates additional weird angles. There are people passing by to look at the fish, so I was trying to take a quick shot without anybody in front of me. And of course, once I had taken the picture and moved along, things quieted down and there were fewer people. It was fun to go for a look. I had not been to "The Locks" for several years.

Very nice and beautifully lit. Did you consider using a keystone tool to try and compensate the out-of-square effect you are alluding to?

Interesting! At first I thought the "relief" was the texture of the paving stones. But it looks like maybe there are a few cm's of water covering the whole thing? The white dots and the black -- that's the stone beneath the water? Where would this be? A city sidewalk? A shopping mall? Train station? A park?

A good way to look at it with the main lines flowing from the lower left to the upper right. Feels natural and comfortable. Rather than some other angle.

36/52: Tone control knobs on an old mid-1970's vintage stereo receiver (Kenwood KR-7400). Looks like I need to clean them! LOL.
