That is how I felt when I saw it.

The phrase I was trying to dig out of my brain when I wrote this post, was "Liminal event" - a threshold between realities.

Night street scene using 1/8 sec shutter handheld while walking at a normal pace. 
A Numinous event is defined as being filled with or characterized by sense of a supernatural presence.

What do you think?

Numinous...

Abstract #streetphotography from Saturday night, using slow shutter and camera movement gives this street scene a supernatural feel.

You might not see the people, but can you perceive some feet? Spooky.

Yay for Pacific Time ❀️ California, Oregon and Washington voted that I'm, several years ago, only to have the national government block it 😞

Top ornament of the Hawthorn tree.. Just an American Robin, but on this gray day it looked kind of majestic, way up there.

Wings a blur at 1/800, but I wasn't expecting to catch a Hummingbird in flight. 

Anna's Hummingbird, I think, took me by surprise. I can't believe I even caught nominal focus with this quick snap. 

North Oregon coast.

People seem so small on this cloudy day. Pacific City/Cape Kiwanda beach, Oregon. The sea stack is 104 meters/340 feet tall and is about 1 km offshore. 

Camera: Minolta Hi-Matic 7Sii 35mm rangefinder. 

Film: Kodak Tri-X 400 Pan.

We didn't get any significant snow this year. Dark-eyed Juncos usually make their first appearance in snow, at least around here, but they're adapting to moss and evergreens, instead.

Rescue cat, former feral cat Bodhi still likes to keep an eye on things, making sure those feral cats behave themselves.

One of the Maine Coon-like cat's kind face. He is feral but he doesn't want any trouble. Just food and a safe place to sleep. 
Like all of us.

Yes indeed, we always hope for a non-crappy day and great expectations for goats usually involves food. 
Now that I'm thinking about it, that's the hope of all sentient beings: food and a non crappy day. 
Anyone who has gone days without food knows. I don't need a palace, only peace and satiety.

Yes, X-T5 is great and weather sealed. Not sure about the kit lens but just avoid downpours. πŸ˜ƒ

I haven't used the X-T50 but it seems like a good choice other than the lack of weather sealing. Fun film simulations and controls, plus IBIS. Just be careful with inclement weather.

Oh and I could be wrong about the weather sealing.
