Welcome to 365pixels 👋🏻

Home for my 365 photo challenge, where I attempt to take and post a photo every day for the year.

I couldn’t decide between the two, so I’m posting both. I’m just a fan of the low-contrast ’70s-style look right now.

Fluid Dynamics & Art (6/365)

Auto-generated description: A close-up view of the tail section of an aircraft, highlighting its sleek, aerodynamic design.

Stripped of color, wing, and fuselage, the wingtip becomes pure geometry. Every curve exists for a reason, yet, in black and white, to this photographer’s eye, the engineering reads as sculpture first, performance second.

Some technical info just because:

Off to work tomorrow so wanted to get as much hiking in as possible.

Welcome to 2026 (1/365)

Auto-generated description: A narrow path winds through a rugged landscape under a dramatic cloudy sky, with distant mountains illuminated by sunrays in the background.

Started the new year off right with a early morning hike. The sun rays coming through the clouds was most excellent. iPhone shot and processed.

2025 was my first year doing a 365 blog. It took a while to get into the swing; I missed 63 days. It has been a lot of fun, and I’m energized to start 2026 with new photography habits and flows to have a better year and reduce that missed-day count.

Take more pictures!

Christmas Day Hike (296/365)

A black and white landscape depicts a rugged desert scene with distant mountains under a partly cloudy sky. Large rocks covered in greenish-yellow lichen are surrounded by greenery and grass in a natural setting. A group of ants surrounds a burrow-like hole on a gravelly surface.

It’s rarely this green and lush in the winter desert; it’s been a nice mix of cooler weather and lots of rain. The earthy desert smell was incredible today. Mostly creosote bush, which gives off a wonderful smell when it’s wet.

Best I could tell, the ants were dragging the green stuff in and taking the dry brown stuff out. Must of been a good housekeeping day.

Corvus Corax (295/365)

What lovely throat feathers (hackles) you have, kind sir.
