It's #scape day. How about another moody #bnw #infrared image from my favorite beach? I made so many images this morning walking along the shore on this rainy and stormy day. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #clouds #fullspectrum #blackandwhitephotography

The photo is a detailed black and white photograph of the Whitby East Pier, a Grade II listed structure in Whitby.
It's captured from a side angle, showcasing its robust construction and extending out into the North Sea. The monochrome palette emphasises the textures and contrasts of the scene. The sky is filled with a dense, cloudy cover, creating a somber and dramatic atmosphere. The clouds are heavily textured, with darker, heavier formations in the upper parts of the frame, and a lighter, more ethereal quality nearer the horizon.
The pier itself is the central subject, a long structure composed of a large, heavy stone base, topped by a thinner, elevated walkway. The lower section is visibly weathered and stained by the sea, with a rough, mottled surface. This section sits low in the water, appearing to be built to withstand powerful currents and storms. The upper walkway is supported by a series of regularly spaced vertical columns, giving it a repeating, rhythmic pattern. The columns are connected by a white railing that forms a strong horizontal line across the image, drawing the eye towards the distant lighthouse.
A small, wooden-framed lighthouse stands at the end of the visible pier section, a notable landmark of the Whitby East Pier. The lighthouse is perched on a raised platform, with a beacon on top. The structure appears to be made of wood and metal, contrasting with the heavier stone of the pier base. Several small figures can be seen on the pier walkway, dressed in dark clothing. One figure appears to be sitting or crouching on the lower pier section, while others are standing along the railing, seemingly fishing. Their presence provides a sense of scale to the massive structure.
The overall impression is one of rugged natural beauty and the enduring strength of a man-made structure against the elements, a hallmark of Whitby’s maritime heritage.

Good morning everyone

Golden aspens meet fresh snow under stormy skies — the perfect clash of seasons in the Colorado high country.

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.

But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭

Black and white photograph capturing a close-up view between an old stone wall and a weathered concrete fence post wrapped in barbed wire. The sun flares brightly through the narrow gap, casting dramatic light and shadow across the textured stone and grass below. Beyond the fence, a flat field stretches under a sky streaked with fast-moving clouds, creating a sense of depth and timeless rural solitude.
