Welcome to Friday Foto Flogging, a place to share your photos and photography news. We were inspired by the folks at European Tribune who post a regular Friday Photoblog series to try the same on this side of the virtual Atlantic. We also thought foto folks would enjoy seeing some other websites so each week we’ll introduce a different photo website.
This Month’s Theme: Chaos — a spin-off from NorthDakotaDem’s idea of Entropy which everyone is also welcome to do.
Link of the Month: Reuters Photographers Blog.

chaos at the edge & entropy in the air
chaos after the rain
entropy amid the chaos
Very interesting variety of shots ya got there JimF, my favorite being the “entropy in air.”
Great set Jim – especially love ‘chaos after the rain’ … 🙂
Road chaos – Apologies, breaks the size rule but massively compressed for fast load.

Static chaos
Universal chaos
Agent of chaos
Interesting how animals figure into chaos. It looks like a god of chaos ready to spring off its pedestal and disturb the harmony of the universe.
Road Chaos, only a slight detour off to the right, eh?
Love the Agent of Chaos. The construction shot is very good but it sure does bring painful memories.
Ha ha ‘Agent of chaos’ … intense eyes and whiskers curling forward means business. >’.'<
Love the wide ‘Road chaos’ … we’ve got similar construction here, only picture it more grey and icy and snowy.
The incredible variety of forms of Bebo’s frenzy, frost flowers, and clouds all start with small differences in initial conditions: butterfly wings and hurricanes.
The gum wall shots are so neat. I wonder if it’s part of a Seattle rite of passage. It certainly fits into the theme of chaos as a strange attractor. Maybe not as mathematical but certainly strange.
AndiF,
Those frost flowers alone would be worth a drive to your neck of the woods, but the timing, eh, that would be the trick.
With regards to “Bebo’s frenzy” I continuously marvel at the expression of pure living-in-the-moment joy dogs exhibits when they are free to run.
Olivia,
The gum wall, hah, that’s a good one. Good thing I have a stalwart stomach… the sight of all that gum ooze could cause one to loose breakfast!
Yeah, there’s nothing that makes Bebo happier than full-out running.
For frost flowers you need nights in the mid to upper 20s and but days above freezing (because the ground can’t be frozen). So you could watch the long-range forecast in November/December and probably find some days that would work. 🙂
It’s much more impressive in person … the sheer vastness of it all, the energy required to chew all those pieces. Or something. 🙂
It pretty much is – at least, friends who live there tell me it is. It’s basically right next to Pike Place Market, so easy to find. I confess, I dragged my mom there to show her and she wasn’t as thrilled as I was. Ha.
We had a rather peculiar ice storm back in November.
The ice only formed on the NE side of things,
with the following results;

“OK, I’ll sit and stay, while you take your pictures… “
Ice Fence
What may not be totally obvious is that the ice fence is all ice.
It just fell off the wire fence around a little maple tree planted this fall.
Ice Storm Oddity-1
I’ll try to remember to post the after-the-ice-melted version of this on Sunday
Ice Storm Oddity-2
Ice Storm Oddity-3

Entropy at Work
Great set. The hayrake photo has such great patterns and wonderful color and the ice fence is so cool (literally and figuratively).
Thanks Andi and Jim.
Echoing Andi on the hay rake.
Wow … beautiful photos NDD.
Especially ‘Horsedrawn Hayrake after Ice Storm’ and ‘Ice Fence’ … gorgeous colours / tone in those!
Thanks Olivia.
And as promised, here’s a photo of the “Oddity” after the ice melted. Sure is amazing how a little ice can enhance our perception of structure.
