Photos taken by the Pixel Fold

[FF22]

Yesterday morning I was able to retrieve my new Pixel Fold from a UPS Depot since I was not home at initial delivery.

Later went to an art gallery, The Schack in Everett, WA. Here's some photos:






Encaustic which is a painting using wax.






The following is made from YUPO "paper" a waterproof concoction of some kind!





Pine needles are the main material

Nice shots, as usual! Did you trade in your Pixel 6 Pro, or is this a second device?

I made this thread a sticky.

Thanks. But after buying this device (no trade in), I can't afford ART anymore!

Actually, I purchased from Google Fi with their "rebate" or monthly bill reduction of about $27 for 24 months or approx $700 off.

I seem to be one of those crazies who hold onto old phones. I'm still debating this. Heavier than expected particularly since I put it in a wallet case. Also extremely disappointed that a game, Word ZigZag, will not sideload. I've managed to move it from phone to phone on Android but first got in on my Blackberry Playbook eons ago. It worked on the P6P and the 3Pro (or whatever) and my Keyone, etc.
I have gotten Blackberry Keyboard to work - that's a real plus

Oh, that explains the Brooklyn Dodger, I guess. I'm originally from Da Bronx but was not a Yankee fan. Following my dad I was a Giants (baseball) fan. But then I'm not much of a team fan in any event! Did cut HS to attend opening day of Shay Stadium!

Today's bike ride to Discovery Park (locally referred to as Disco) and then Smith Cove Park (ships and cruise ships) and Myrtle Edwards Park (waterfront)

Madrone trees along "Magnolia Bluff". Misnamed Magnolia by Capt Vancouver since Madrone trees look like Magnolia from the distance.

Jumbotron on the ship! Passengers were loading



The Space Needle and Calder's Eagle


The Eagle is located in SAM's Olympic Sculpture Park

I'm trying to decide if they are as crisp or sharp as my P6P. Or have I been brainwashed by some of the reviews about the Folds camera.

I like to go with my eyes for whatever phone I'm currently using ...if I like the results I stop right there

This morning's walk through Disco (aka Discovery Park). It is also known as Fort Lawton and there's a National Cemetery within the park.

It is a very green and leafy park that also contains a variety of shrubs and conifers. It has some nice rolling terrain and then opens up to views of Puget Sound.


You can see from the texture of the Cedar's bark that the Native people wove basket, hats and clothing out the shredded bark.





A "window" through Madrone trees.



Their unique peeling bark and red inner layer.





The sandy bluffs and the radar dome

And a panorama I stitched together In Magix

Today's bike ride to Golden Gardens Park via Greenlake Park and Sunset Park and home via Shilshole Marina.

Greenlake, about a half mile from home.

Shilshole Marina from Sunset Park

Golden Gardens

Pond at Golden Gardens - turtle left center. Usually, there can be a dozen or so on the logs.





Leif Erickson and Rune Stones

Until today, I never noticed his pillaging axe!

My own personal thread!

A few from this morning's walk in nice sunny weather.

I liked the backlighting


Tide is somewhat out. I shoot this view almost every time I walk the park.


The ferry off route with the Olympics in the background
