The "bathtub ring" phenomenon refers to a distinct mineral deposit and discoloration line that forms on the rocks surrounding the lake. This line is visible on the shoreline and exposes lighter-colored rock above a darker, stained section. The "bathtub ring" becomes more apparent when the water level in Lake Mead drops significantly. The southwestern United States, including states that rely on water from Lake Mead, has been facing a severe and extended drought since the early 2000s. Climate change has exacerbated the situation, leading to reduced snowpack, higher temperatures, and increased evaporation rates, all contributing to lower water inflows into the lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1687455895144-NZYEHU793R33486C6E6B/_Z0A2035.jpg Vanishing Point Hoover Dam, Lake Mead Hoover Dam lies at the intersection of the southeast corner of Nevada and the northwest corner of Arizona and impounds Lake Mead, which is the largest reservoir by volume in the United States when it is full. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1687454156893-U2IWZUDDWLFGKRNKFL86/4.1.2011.46-001.jpg Vanishing Point Las Vegas Bay Marina Overlook The boat launch formerly served countless boats but now lies 1.5 miles from the lake's edge.

Situated along the banks of the Schuylkill River, Manayunk was once a bustling industrial community with numerous textile mills. During the 19th century, Manayunk experienced significant industrial growth. The construction of the Schuylkill Canal and the advent of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad in the early 1800s contributed to the area's development as a thriving mill town. The water power provided by the canal and the convenient transportation offered by the railroad made Manayunk an ideal location for textile production. Textile mills, particularly those producing wool and cotton goods, flourished in Manayunk. The mills employed a large number of workers, attracting immigrants seeking employment opportunities. Irish, German, and Eastern European immigrants were among those who came to work in the mills, contributing to the cultural diversity of the neighborhood. The textile industry in Manayunk faced challenges in the early 20th century due to changing market conditions and increased competition. Many mills closed or relocated, leading to a decline in the neighborhood's industrial prominence. However, in recent years, Manayunk has undergone revitalization, with former industrial spaces repurposed into residential, commercial, and entertainment areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689948988932-564Z48XY5B4G518SG83X/manayunk002.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689948979607-GLVTD669Z43MARBXU1NB/manayunk_church3.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689948976208-PVAX3PPCGWQLV8YTR8N7/manyunk.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1641829307827-NLJZZ61DIC8V0POZMCNE/Connely_Bridge_Winter+copy.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689948953205-FQKIACBUD97IYUFHXQ8F/manyunk001.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689948985078-2SRIHE5YKRCZO7I92L71/manaynk003.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689948995370-TJAQ6STEJXNZW8VGCXHS/manayunkwall2.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689948995366-RKATPB9SZHQI01AZ2SE9/manyunk_boat.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689952816958-UEWYJC84GCU09RFQZHMI/canal.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1641829066069-DDFDEF8QGS4NY3MN8RWX/Conshohocken_poles.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689949005895-YF2G13283KVFYIZEOOWR/backyards_wires.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689954480789-BL3UOVJZJIPVU8GGNMCL/Route_23_Conshohocken.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689949028158-YFL9S249W6WY7GW7X3K4/Elevator_shaft.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689952824207-W0TG7S19WES9Q5FIHINS/wires077a.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689954483695-U11X2JLP11Y1GSKACBIH/US_out_of_el_salvador.jpg Manayunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1689954488483-ACVFH7RT4OX2C0PI2Y48/Connely_Bridge_Winter.jpg Manayunk https://www.paulrunyon.com/visiting-nature daily 0.75 2023-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1642345783202-I4P86VXH360UJTWGO334/image-asset.jpeg Visiting Nature - Death Valley National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1642345783202-I4P86VXH360UJTWGO334/image-asset.jpeg Visiting Nature - Death Valley National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1667074024316-886WJURV5QS7XBMJBXOP/Billboard.jpg Visiting Nature Billboard, Moab, Utah https://www.paulrunyon.com/points-west daily 0.75 2023-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1659714249653-00NSIJ66LGHWIGJX1O4V/flag_navajo%2Cnation.jpg Points West https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1659714249653-00NSIJ66LGHWIGJX1O4V/flag_navajo%2Cnation.jpg Points West https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1683413349508-1312E6B2BQQDIHZIGJ96/_Z0A2323+copy.jpg Points West American Flag, Navajo Tribal Nation Oljato-Monument Valley, Utah https://www.paulrunyon.com/dutch-west-indies daily 0.75 2023-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1682682474455-LQ0P2W6AJSTNYU5B6HBP/_MG_2012.jpg Temporality - Temporality Temporality refers to the concept of time and its relationship to various aspects of human experience. It encompasses the understanding, perception, and experience of time in different contexts. In the context of photography, temporality plays a significant role.

This Flowering Cherry Tree was one of the oldest of its type in the city. I was grateful that it provided me subject matter to photograph while on lockdown. The annual explosion of blossoms in April served as a poignant reminder to me that life continues, and beauty can be found even in the midst of challenging circumstances. As we move forward from the Pandemic, it is important to hold onto the moments of beauty and resilience that nature offers us. They serve as reminders that, no matter the circumstances, there is always something to appreciate and find solace in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1683405266305-FWO55FCY4ZK4ESRGDRP5/Tree0199-1.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684785842209-TAPOFVBOGSLT6EUB5G2G/Tree0196.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684785873255-28EM1HI7W63RG8C4B4Z1/Tree0235.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684785901609-YZKM7ZSCXRT0QXG3L58M/5V8A5244.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684860966740-44H5KR3CONFNM9P9F3HD/Tree0215.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684785933272-O6JTENPQW85DXL71W5GQ/Tree0257-1.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684856727487-DIUZXCPD2CIU2M8AEGYG/Tree0192.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684857691255-BIWWVW8G0RZGYJ8WLZYU/Tree0202.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684861614631-25J0TI2OLX662HW7KDA9/Tree0217.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684862458522-EOVB0MQU36PZYY9MSA7W/Tree0233-1.jpg Lockdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1684863701793-9PBD2V2TEBDWF0U6G8CH/Tree0243.jpg Lockdown https://www.paulrunyon.com/philadelphia daily 0.75 2023-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1683571800606-BEM7L10O3T2FG3SGC8MY/Philly-Garage+copy.jpg Early Philadelphia Cityscapes Parking Garage, Locust Street, Philadelphia, 1986 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/1683571800606-BEM7L10O3T2FG3SGC8MY/Philly-Garage+copy.jpg Early Philadelphia Cityscapes Parking Garage, Locust Street, Philadelphia, 1986 https://www.paulrunyon.com/about daily 0.75 2026-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/482565df-9b8a-4b6f-be8f-0c4e1be35380/_AS_0251+copy+2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5f81faf09ca460905c813e/9f9280a0-0091-42db-8d7e-618e11a54d13/_AS_0251+copy+2.jpg About - Make it stand out Closed Boat Launch, Lake Mead, 2023
