Waterfall in upper right with a stream rushing towards the bottom left, slightly blurred from a long exposure. There is green jungle-like vegetation, with solid rocks on the bottom right. At one point the stream splits around rocks in the stream. A tiny bit of blue sky odd visible in the upper-right corner.

A gray tabby cat lays on her back inside a large cardboard box, with her head and one paw visible. She’s biting the little tab that locks the top shut.

Streaks of snow lit by flash. A snow-covered walkway and yard in the foreground with a street, neighbor’s yard, and trees in the background.

On a gray day two hikers, one with a bright red backpack, gave away from the camera. They stand in volcanic ash atop a glacier, with s mountain in the distance.

Snowy lawn at dusk, with trees, power lines, a street light, and street signs. Sky is deep blue, snow has tinges of yellow, blue, and red.

A blurry photo of a highway looking out the front windshield of a car with the taillights of another car in the distance. The sky is dusky blue.

A festive market with lit-up stars and lights on strings, with some people in the foreground and the poorly-lighted steel stacks of Bethlehem, PA hulking in the distance.

Photo of a small, abandoned, and decaying retail building with a tattered β€œunder new management” sign in the window. Tall weeds grow around the building and trees encroach behind.

Superimposed on the image is a quote from the song (Nothing But) Flowers by Taking Heads - β€œAnd as things fell apart / Nobody paid much attention.” The text is from a photo of the cd liner notes.

β€œand there in that pleasant corner of the world they plied their well-ordered business of living, and they heeded less and less the world outside where dark things moved, until they came to think that peace and plenty were the rule in Middle-earth and the right of all sensible folk. They forgot or ignored what little they had ever known of the Guardians, and of the labours of those that made possible the long peace of the Shire. They were, in fact, sheltered, but they had ceased to remember it."
