Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Structure

/ Leya / 22 kommentarer

Structure can be seen in many different ways – for Cee’s challenge I offer the inside of a building, somewhere in Ireland. It was almost impossible to take photos because of its strange architecture, but it might work as an example of structure.

Thursday Thoughts – Bratonia Toscane

/ Leya / 13 kommentarer

You who know me, know my love for orchids. In flower now is Bratonia Toscane –

a delicate dancer in my room.

As I am testing my new camera, I took a series of shots from different angles and in different light. The first two against the TV, then moved to the window for the other two.

I even tried Nik on this last one. Which one do you prefer?

Paula, at Lost in Translation, gave us a pair of pears for inspiration – here are my pairs: A pair of old party shoes and some phalaenopsis orchids.

 

WPC: A Face in the Crowd

/ Leya / 34 kommentarer

 

Erica, at WordPress, gives us the task to show anonymity, a face in the crowd – referring to the days when she was too afraid to ask people for a photo. I am still there…but on my way to overcome it. I still take photos from behind though, or with a long lens, if I am not in the mood for asking.

This series, taken some years ago on the beach( in a warmer country than mine) shows how well we can express ourselves – even in the anonymity of silhouettes.

Keep an eye on the man…

…..how he expresses himself…

 

New Fuji Camera – Old Apple Tree

/ Leya / 29 kommentarer

My old apple tree is slowly dying

He has always been there, as a Warden Spirit, long before we bought this house

He is greatly loved by moss and lichen – and the birdhouse is always inhabited

The old tree is hosting many species, many worlds

But, last year, only one single apple managed to grow on these moldering branches

This spring might be his last one – what will happen to all his guests?

CFFC: Birds

/ Leya / 13 kommentarer

Who does not love birds?

For Cee this week – a nesting stork on top of an old church ruin in Spain.

Harpy Eagle (Americas)

I love those big birds of prey, like the Harpy. Frightening but beautiful. They call this bird the most cruel bird of prey.

Eagle owls are very big – and beautiful – too. These two shots are from Walsrode bird park, the biggest park in Europe (at least).
