I guess I'm over on the abstractionist side of things:

Why Discovering Abstraction Is Essential for Your Photography
Are you not into abstract photography? It’s one of those things you’ll either love or hate. But it's important, and there is much more to it than you might know. What Is Abstract Photography? It’s probably easiest to describe abstract photography by starting with what it isn’t. Objective...

I am not really a video person (yet), but today I have one to share. I explored Akiruno and Akigawa by bicycle and visited Entakuzan Hōkōji Temple. The bridge with the furin (風鈴, wind chimes) leads up to the Rokuya Daibutsu (鹿野大仏), an 18-metre tall Buddha statue cast in Yamagata in 2018.
And here's the daibutsu:

Went for a drive today, and haven't really looked at everything too carefully, but here are a few glimpses. the first is on the grounds of Nata-dera, the others at Koke-no-sato. Close to each other, both close to Komatsu.

I'll post a review, lol. I pass them almost daily on the bike, and it's fun to watch couples sneaking in and out in a nonchalant air.

Back in my day there , we called them "skivy" hotels and they seemed to love red lights and mirrors in the rooms , LOL.
Great shots!Not sure how the google maps link will appear to people, but these are from a semi-covered storage area at 金石港. This a small port, and happens to be one that I bike by an awful lot. There on google maps if you zoom in, there's a blue roof pretty easily visible, and it's just shelter, there are no walls---open all round except for pillars/supports for the roof. Open air. There are lots of things, piled underneath and stored there, nets, ropes, a few chains, and so on. The chains surprised me, most obvious are the big stacks of nets and ropes. Sometimes there are fishermen working on the nets, mending them, I suppose. This is a box with those supplies, I think the wooden things are 'needles' of some kind. (I'm not a fisherman, nor a net mending aficionado!)
So for years and years I've ridden by this place (thru it when no boats are busy there), watched fish being sorted and unloaded, and thought that the junk there might have a few photos hidden in it. Today, still a little wet from the typhoon (which wasn't bad at all), I went for a drive, took the big camera along, and this was one place that I stopped to look around.

Still working on this place. And as a once-upon-a-time boy scout, who did some knots--and more relevant here, splices and whipping ends of rope--some of these, both here and above, seem really cool. (And not so relevant here, knots are also something mathematicians work on and try to describe--I have browsed a lot of YouTubes on that.)
