This color transparency features an interior scene of a church or cathedral with ornate decorations and religious iconography. The focal point is the altar area, adorned with lit candles, banners, and what appears to be icons or images on the walls above it. A congregation can be seen seated in rows leading up to this altar, suggesting that they are attending a service. Some individuals stand at various points along the path towards the altar, possibly participating in the ceremony or observing from different vantage points.

The photograph is taken with low lighting conditions, emphasizing shadows and creating an atmospheric mood. The overall composition conveys reverence and solemnity appropriate for such religious settings. The image captures not only the physical environment but also hints at a collective spiritual experience shared by those present.

A beach scene with multiple people lounging on the sand and in chairs under umbrellas, enjoying a sunny day. In the background stands an elegant white house atop dunes covered by grasses and dotted with colorful beach umbrellas of red stripes or yellow-green colors. One man is standing beside green deck chairs, holding what seems to be towels or cleaning rags. The clothing style suggests it's from a past era; women wear swimsuits while men are in shorts or swim trunks with patterned shirts.

Trip: July 27, 2025, I took the LIRR to Oyster Bay. The rain was pouring and I sheltered in the train simulators of the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum. I got lunch in Oyster Bay after the rain stopped, and biked a very convoluted 50 mile route to Cold Spring Harbor and Huntington. Then I took the LIRR back to NYC. This is on W Shore Rd. #newyork #longisland #ocean #sea #oysterbay #wetlands #foggy #nature #landscape #photography #darktable

The image depicts a large, stately residence with brick and stone construction set on an expansive lawn. The house features multiple levels, including two prominent wings connected by a central structure that includes arched doorways and windows. A series of steps leads up to the main entrance, which is sheltered under a covered portico supported by columns.
To one side of the residence stands a circular conservatory or sunroom with large glass panes providing ample natural light. The house's architecture showcases classical design elements such as tall chimneys that rise from each wing and decorative moldings around windows and doors. Surrounding greenery includes well-maintained grass, shrubs, and ornamental trees enhancing the estate-like atmosphere of the property.
In addition to its architectural features, this image captures a slice of Americana during mid-20th-century suburban life, offering insight into residential design trends from that era. The photograph was taken by Gottscho-Schleisner Inc., known for their work in architectural photography and documentation throughout various periods.

Dear Friends,
It's not too late to shovel snow from sidewalk in front of the business even though it fell two days ago. Better late than never for the benefit of pedestrians and people on wheels! But, for goodness sakes, take it easy and don't overexert yourself. We spoke, he said he was okay.

Good morning dear friends from foggy Long Island. With rising temperatures and misty rain, the snow is sublimating into ground fog. Be careful!

Dear Friends,

My early AM pix from today on the local online news site:

huntingtonnow.com/roads-slick-

NWS spotters, as illustrated in the article, report about 5" near here as the storm tracked away, on the low side of the forecast. Tomorrow, cold; then warm and rainy on Monday.

Businesses have 12 hours to clear sidewalks of snow. I expect this is cleared by now. They are among the better ones.

Last photo from the 2024 backlog. I got to Orient Point and walked as far as I could. It's the tip of the north fork of Long Island. Long Island is really long, so this is further east than New Haven and closer to New London, so there's a ferry from Orient Point to New London. This is the Orient Point Lighthouse. Can't get there without a boat. After this, I hurried back to Greenport to ride the LIRR back to Manhattan. #longisland #ocean #lighthouse #nature #landscape #photography #darktable
Zooming in across a pebbly beach any rocks at a lone lighthouse in the midst of the ocean. There is land in the distance, which is Plum Island.

More from the backlog: December 15, 2024. I took the LIRR all the way to Greenport. Long Island has two tips and that day I visited the northern one, Orient Point, about 10 miles further from Greenport. I first took the ferry to visit Shelter Island. Then I biked to Orient Point and Orient Beach State Park, though the beach itself was closed and I only got to the campground. I didn't get a chance to re-visit in summer 2025, since it's a 3 hour long train ride to get there and I went upstate instead. #longisland #wetlands #ocean #landscape #photography #nature #darktable
Dry wetland grass forms a curve by the coast, leading to a tree whose leaves had already fallen for winter. There's a little wooden house a few meters to the right of the tree, and more houses in the distance. It was cloudy.Two houses by the sea, by the wetland, in the midst of a forest. The leaves had already fallen for the winter.

Farms in Laurel, Long Island. See the birds flying in that formation; that's how the peloton works here on earth. After this, I had an early dinner in Mattituck and took the LIRR back to Manhattan. #longisland #farm #countryside #birds #landscape #nature #photography
The sky was clearing. The little houses and trees by a vast field were in faint late afternoon sun. Birds were flying in a branched formation.Looking through a fence at a field with a Christmas tree farm, in the afternoon sun.
