With all that’s been going on here, I felt like I had to take time to do something creative.  And so I collected some photos (see ART@CHC) from the past couple of decades that reflect an unusual interest of mine, namely locks, latches and closures.  Enjoy, be safe.

Friday is sort of a dead day in the blog-publishing world — of which I occupy a province the size of a parking space in Vatican City — but I’m anxious to get my latest collection of photos into your hands.  These are of various structures in several towns within 60 miles of the Georgia coast, taken from 2008 to 2024.

As always, photographs are best viewed on non-phone devices — use phones for selfies and memorable dinner shots.  I enjoy doing research on my locations after-the-fact, so please read the notes accompanying the gallery.  Thanks for taking a look, hope you enjoy.

On the eve of Super Bowl Sunday, I have added another mini-gallery of 12 photos to my ART @ CHC site, titled From the Waist Down (click to visit).  Here is a photo (Raleigh, NC) that did not merit inclusion in the gallery, as it didn’t have enough kick:

While working on this collection, I also made a few updates to the Steps, Windows and Odds & Ends galleries, so please have another look at those if so inspired.

In the meantime, Happy Super Bowl Sunday to my sports-loving friends. To the rest of my friends, Happy Hubble Day.  It was February 11, 1924, one century ago, that Edwin Hubble measured the spectra of distant stars and established the existence of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, thereby seeding sci-fi concepts such as The Foundation, Star Trek, the Laws of Robotics and the Prime Directive.

Thank you, Edwin Hubble.  You know you have reached greatness when both a physical constant and a space telescope have been named after you.  Not even Beyoncé has achieved that distinction.

But wasn’t this post about feet, not feats?
