Day 10: Frozen Winter Pier

2026-02-16

First, a correction.

On my previous article, I took a picture of a well-decorated pumpkin. I thought it was about Day of the Dead.

It turns out: that might not be the case.

no-schedule-crepescule: "Yeah I don't think the Pumpkin is day of the dead, since day of the dead mainly focuses on skulls and such, so you wouldn't typically see a face like that".
dpanphoto: "well shit."

After looking back at my records and GPS location, I either took the pumpkin photo near a cheese shop or an abandoned building. Not at a Mexican cantina.

I appreciate the tip. But I've made extra sure to turn off push notifications now, so you'll have to email me in the future.

And now for something completely different.

Back at the local county park...

Hello!

Gosh, 10 days old. I could make 10% of a Minecraft video.

If you understand that reference, you're on the Internet too much (and so am I...).

Testing out vertical photos this time. It's gonna probably mess up the blog homepage but oh well.

I took this photo of the dock just after it had been active. Someone was putting on their hockey skates, two people were walking their dog on and off the pier, and I was taking a picture of the sunset.

Time for a book recommendation! If I'm trying to get off social media in favor of being more productive, I might as well make reading a habit as well. If your local library has Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie, you should borrow it next time you're there (or at least read the first three chapters before deciding). It's a detective fiction mystery that's pretty simple at its core — four suspects in a locked room, with backstories to uncover. Have fun with it.

Did you know there's a difference between a pier, a dock, and a wharf? I think it just comes down to size... aye. I couldn't think of a joke in time.

Thank you for visiting this blog! Special thanks to the newsletter subscribers; you get this photo a week before the internet does :-).

Cheers,
David
