At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
Since I now have to walk if I want to go out and shoot alone there aren't as many places to choose between. This means that I need to re-visit subjects/scenes that I have shot many times before. Hope you don't mind. Once spring is here it'll be easier to vary the subjects.
To make it more interesting for myself I use different lenses. (Last time it was 7Artisans 75mm/1.25.) A few days ago we had some nice light and even snow so I went out with CV 40/1.2 E.
Some more from this morning with the A9 and 200-600 and with 1.4x. You can see in the one shot of a hook or a lure with fishing line coming off its leg.
In keeping with our paying attention to social distancing, we have been going to out of the way places that have no people there at present. Sony A7rRII, Sony GM 100-400mm lens at 152mm, f13 1/500 sec. ISO 400. Image changed to 4:3 format and converted to B&W and manipulated with Topaz Adjust.
Thanks for looking

Ancient tablet in a very old Bon Monastery in the hinterland. Cherished artefacts like this could be hastily gathered up and taken to places of refuge in times of marauders and invaders, then returned once the danger had passed.
Trying to stay away from the crowds, took to the swamp. Great Swamp National Wildlife refuge. Just me and the birds, but they were too fast for me. The grass moves more slowly. Late afternoon sun.
#1 this handsome structure - most likely an admin building - flanks the main courtyard at Samye. Nothing lines up, but it's a very bold look and very solid. All of it is from the touch of human hands. #2 is how it used to be everywhere - acrid, choking smoke from burnt juniper fronds. These bsang burners as they are called, sometimes explode, like a small volcano. I've not been lucky enough to see one do that.
