The Daily Parker may miss a couple Photos of the Day over the next week or two as I'm ramping up a new project. I've got a few photos in the queue for the feature, but it takes time to find them, edit them, and post them, time I won't have lots of until probably the end of July. Here, however, is Four Courts, Dublin: 22 June 2008, Canon 20D at ISO-100, 1/125 at f/8, 18mm, here.

Whiting, Vt.: 17 October 1992, Canon T-90, Kodachrome 64, exposure unrecorded, here.

Last one (I think) from Pittsburgh, from the Duquense Incline, inside the machinery room: 9 July 2011, ISO-100, 1/320 at f/5.6, 18mm, here.

Yet another view of PNC Park, from the Warhol Bridge, after the fireworks: 9 July 2011, ISO-1600, 1/30 sec. at f/5.6, 29mm, here.

Continuing the Pittsburgh theme, a view of PNC Park as the groundskeepers set up for the .38 Special concert: ISO-3200, 1/15 at f/2, 50mm, here.

The indefatigable Paul Krugman smacks down the excuses for why the government has failed to get the economy going: [A] destructive passivity has overtaken our discourse. Turn on your TV and you’ll see some self-satisfied pundit declaring that nothing much can be done about the economy’s short-run problems (reminder: this “short run” is now in its fourth year), that we should focus on the long run instead. This gets things exactly wrong. The truth is that creating jobs in a depressed economy is something...

The Roberto Clamente Bridge in Pittsburgh, after Saturday night's fireworks, from the Andy Warhol Bridge: 9 July 2011, ISO-6400, 1/4 sec. at f/5, here.

Pittsburgh, Pa., exactly 24 hours ago: ISO-100, 1/250 at f/5.6, polarizing filter, here.

After almost almost a year hiatus, the 30-Park Geas resumed yesterday in Pittsburgh: Not only did I see a Cubs 6-3 win and a surprise, game-ending double play, but also a .38 Special concert complete with fireworks: (My theory, not shared by the people around me, was that the fireworks were to celebrate the Cubs win.) More photos today and tomorrow.

When in Rome: 13 October 2007, Canon 20D at ISO-200, 1/400 at f/6.3, 76mm.
