This image is just a “time-study” of the changes in an old 7-Up ad painted on the side of a building that I first photographed 16 years ago (shown below). I called that photo from 2003 “Likning Strikes,” a play on words related to the crack in the wall which looks like a lightning strike. It’s interesting that over time the both the white background paint and the black letters have faded, revealing more of some lettering that had been on the wall and even longer time.

This is a retired turbine from one of the power plants along the Snake River in Idaho Falls. It’s as worthy a sculpture as any piece purposely made for artistic gratification rather than function.

Pushed by a breeze perhaps, an empty bottle makes its way across the current.

Mapping Flow

In wind tunnels, they use small streams of smoke to make visible the flow of air. In water, flecks of foam can serve the same purpose.

Flecks of foam make their way slowing along the cliff edge of the Snake River in downtown Idaho Falls.
