Today's #EagleStomps were quite late (21:00+), but they still did happen. So get the Sihl in night mode.

Today's #EagleStomps - I missed my tram by a minute or something, so I walked a couple of stops.
And got a pic of the S18, which is the weirdest S-Bahn of Zürich: inside the city, it shares its tracks with the tram (but has less stops!). -
Today's #EagleStomps: more festive decorations.
I really like these, they look really cool on site :) -

In today's #EagleStomps, an Üetliberg getting eaten by a cloud
-
Today's #EagleStomps were a bit on the complicated side: I took a train to Ringlikon, walked from Ringlikon to Uitikon Waldegg, missed the train back down by a few minutes, but caught the train back up to Uetliberg and I'm now back in Ringlikon (but on a train). With a dozen or so of tiny humans coming back from Uetliberg as well in their tiny yellow vests ☺️ (one of them just reacted joyously to the announcement that the train was going to "Hauptbahnhof" :)) )
And the popping up Uetliberg was totally worth it.(Also I have the pics I was missing for my next #AlphabeticalZurich post, so yay!) And it was probably a smart move to go there now before the first snow - as it is, I saw the first ice!

Scavenger Hunt round 45
I’ve been a very avid participant to the Photography Scavenger Hunt in the past, but I had let a few rounds go by recently for reasons that are not entirely clear to me either. For this round, I decided to get back on the horse and to submit pictures; we went to Iceland this summer, and I mostly submitted shots from that trip, including some “found shots” shoehorned into the theme after the fact! We did have to submit a grid of pictures as a bonus as well, though, so I reframed/cropped all the pictures so that they could fit on said grid.
In the order of the reveals, here are the pictures I submitted. The headings have links to the albums of my fellow Scavengers.
Asphalt was not a found shot, I knew the word was on the list, and I hunted it down specifically. When we were near a geothermal plant on the sixth day of our trip, this road going upwards seemingly alone in that terrain caught my eye, and I took multiple shots of it. I liked this one best, with the large white vehicle in the foreground – we’ve seen a lot of these during our trip.
Another one that was less “found shot” and more “I have bleak on my list, and this is actually pretty bleak.” That’s one of the recent lava fields near Grindavík, which we saw on the last day of our trip. Volcanoes are fascinating and terrifying, and Iceland is a constant reminder of that.
Well, that one is the only one that I did not shoot in Iceland; I came home, and I had nothing that I could make fit from that trip. So I got my tripod and light box out, a large water recipient, and some blue ink, and I made some ink patterns. It’s honestly quick and dirty for studio work, which makes it somewhat unsatisfying, but better a mid pic than no pic! 😀
I was probably thinking more of “bleak” than of “goth” when I took this picture on our day 10 on the black sand beach, but I think it worked well for Goth as well. I would like to point out that this picture is NOT processed as black and white and that it is indeed color photography!
This one was part found shot and part not. I didn’t have the word in my mind at all when I took the picture (I was more interested in the geyser!) but I knew exactly what to use when I saw the word again – small faraway people looking like ants! And a lot of them too. This was on the last day of our trip.
Mystery was absolutely a found shot. I had put that in “this is probably a Scavenger picture” when I sorted through my travel photos because the way the lava shows through the shadows makes it very difficult for me to see anything else than a fox with fiery eyes… but it’s “just” the way lava fell there. Also this was during the Lava show part of our visit on the 10th day.
Jet was pretty much a given: I’m travelling by plane, surely I’ll be able to snap a jet picture of some kind. Hence, I have a bit more plane picz than usual – and I really liked this one 🙂
Horses in Iceland are very photogenic, and I went through my horse pictures to find one for the theme. It was harder than I expected because the best horses didn’t necessarily work background-wise, but I eventually decided on this one.
Shadow was the hardest word of this Hunt for me, and I’m not very convinced with what I ended up submitting – this is the entrance of a small cave that we popped by almost by chance (tiny place, just a couple of interesting holes 🙂 ). But it definitely has a large shadow considering the lack of light!
The final word was Grid, as a bonus to show all your pictures in a single one. I would have much preferred having all Iceland pictures, but Ink and Jet are a bit the odds one out (for Jet I probably had alternatives if it had been the only odd one out). I had laid out my grid before I did the processing of the other pictures, because it constrained the ratios of my crops; I considered going for all squares, but I felt like the longer format worked better.
And there, another round done! We’ll see how the next one goes 🙂

Bahnhofstrasse is now on AlphabeticalZürich: https://www.alphabeticalzurich.ch/bahnhofstrasse.html
I may or may not have procrastinated a lot with this one (that's possibly the most intimidating street of all Zürich!).
It's also unclear when I'll be able to get the next post - I've had (at least some of the) picz for Bahnhofstrasse for almost 2 years, but I don't have the ones for Bahnweg yet, and when I can go get them kind of depends of the exact (or approximate) state of my Stupid Knee™ (for which I hope to have an update tomorrow - we'll see).
Anyway, it won't be much more a hiatus than what has accidentally happened in the past, except this one is making me grumpier :P

I have added a RSS feed (okay, FINE, an Atom feed) on AlphabeticalZürich: https://www.alphabeticalzurich.ch/atom.xml
-
OKAY, I'm reasonably happy with the current version. I now have a "progress map" on AlphabeticalZürich, available at https://www.alphabeticalzurich.ch/map.html
The base tiles are @protomaps, with an extra dash of Leaflet (https://leafletjs.com/), an export of my progress spreadsheet as CSV, and some "let's throw some Zürich opendata at the geometry problem".
And a non-zero amount of work to integrate it as I wanted (including "how do I avoid trivially leaking my API key"), but I *think* it's reasonably clean. It would probably warrant a proper blog post, if only to document things for myself, but now I need a break (... since at least few hours if I'm being honest with myself.)
But there, I'm happy - now I need to update the spreadsheet and the real-world data below it :D

Bachwiesenstrasse is now on #AlphabeticalZürich: https://www.alphabeticalzurich.ch/bachwiesenstrasse.html
And AlphabeticalZürich itself moved from Wordpress to a statically-generated website - I mostly finished the migration. I still need to generate a RSS feed (soon™), but the rest should work well enough (let me know if you run into issues :) )
