Now that Micro.blog has collections, I thought I’d try them out with the full set of my favorite photos from my walk with Sidarth earlier this month.

First, black and white.

A narrow urban street is lined with tall buildings, featuring a solitary figure walking under an overcast sky.

Four wheelbarrows are arranged in a dimly lit, industrial-looking space.

Pigeons perch on the roof of a building with the word marta displayed on its facade.

A person is holding and looking through a camera in a black and white setting.

A deserted city street is bordered by tall buildings, leading into a fog that obscures the tops of the structures.

A black and white photograph shows a construction site with several cranes and tall buildings near a bridge.

A modern glass door with a tall, sleek handle is set within a rectangular brick-framed entryway.

A grand, multi-story stone building with United States Post Office inscribed above its entrance and an American flag atop, showcases classic architectural style.

A construction site with a large boom lift and concrete barriers scattered around.

A tall cylindrical pipe with graffiti stands in front of a building with large windows.

A black and white photo shows a cityscape with construction cranes, buildings, a parking lot, and railway tracks leading into the scene.

A lone person walks down an empty, wet city street surrounded by tall buildings under a cloudy sky.

A black and white photograph of a library aisle flanked by shelves filled with books, leading to a well-lit reading area in the background.

A black and white abstract architectural scene features geometric patterns and modern ceiling designs.

Rain-soaked wooden planks with scattered leaves reflecting light create a moody, textured scene.

A black and white photo of a tall, modern skyscraper disappearing into the misty sky.

A group of pigeons is perched on a building with the word marta displayed on its facade.

A person crouches on a brick-paved street feeding a flock of pigeons, viewed through two large triangular structures.

A pair of open doors leads to a dimly lit interior space where a person stands in what appears to be a construction or industrial setting.

A dimly lit industrial scene shows three wheelbarrows on a raised platform with a ramp leading down.

A narrow, dimly lit brick alleyway leads to an open area with a tree and bench in the distance.

A black and silver retro-style camera with a lens hood is positioned on a surface.

Then the color shots.

A collection of leaves and branches showcases a variety of muted pinks and greens.

This blog feeds into Bluesky (as @doug.pub), so I was able to use this web app to roast my blog:

“Navigating the cosmos of thought and daily life, one mundane post at a time."

Not bad!
