These workmen on the #AmalfiCoast looked to be taking a well deserved mid morning break

Black and white photograph of a dramatic coastal landscape on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. A steep, tall cliffside covered with dense houses and vegetation dominates the left and center. In the bottom foreground, a beach area with beach umbrellas and a low building labeled "BAR - COBALTO SPIAGGIA SNACK" lines the water. On the far right, a towering, historic building is visible next to a thick palm tree. Two seated figures and a standing man wearing a cap are in the immediate foreground, appearing to be engaged in conversation on an outdoor terrace.

Blanc i negre pur, sense concessions. La terra del lloc on visc es aspra i dura, tampoc no en fa de concessions.

Imatge en blanc i negre altament contrastada d'un petit turó prop de l'estany d'Ivars i Vilasana. Els matolls secs, tombats pel vent i pel fred, donen pas a uns pocs arbres sense fulles just al fons de la imatge. Terra aspra i seca.

Was playing with the camera and this came out better than I was expecting. Seems a good fit for #WeekXforXmas

A close-up photograph of a Christmas tree showing a beautifully decorated satin-finish ornament hanging on a branch. The main ornament is cream-colored and features a hand-painted design of red glitter poinsettias and green holly leaves. It is partially in focus, while other white, glittery, spherical ornaments and soft white string lights are blurred in the background and foreground.

Can't be many things that top heading home under a Venetian sunset 😎

#venice #venezia #italy #photography #travel #monochrome #blackandwhite #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #sunset #landscape #LandscapePhotography
A vivid sunset over the water in Venice, Italy. The sky is dominated by deep orange and yellow hues with wispy clouds, creating a silhouette of the city skyline. Key Venetian landmarks are visible in the distance, including the dome of the Santa Maria della Salute church on the left and the towering Campanile di San Marco on the right. In the foreground, a small motorboat travels across the dark, rippling water.

It's always a bonus in #Scotland when you get a full moon and a clear sky!

#photography #monochrome #blackandwhite #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #landscape #LandscapePhotography
Black and white photograph of the nearly full moon set against a monotone, grey twilight sky. In the bottom foreground, the fine, bare branches of a dark tree reach up toward the moon, partially obscuring the roof and square upper windows of a building.

Castle Campbell in central #Scotland, originally known as Castle Glume, dates back to the early 1400s. The windows in this old staircase looked to be of a more modern vintage 😀

#photography #travel #monochrome #blackandwhite #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWindows #Castle
High-contrast black and white photograph of a dark, stone spiral staircase inside the tower of a castle. Two tall, narrow windows with multiple glass panes are visible above the steps, flooding the rough-hewn stone walls with bright light. A dark metal handrail runs diagonally across the frame, dividing the deep shadow in the foreground from the illuminated stonework above the steps.

MC Escher made many works based on scenes around #Atrani on the #AmalfiCoast. The views that inspired some of his work must have been close to where this picture was taken.

#photography #travel #italy #monochrome #blackandwhite #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #landscape #LandscapePhotography #mcescher
High-angle, black and white photograph of the picturesque Italian village of Atrani, nestled between towering cliffs on the Amalfi Coast. The dense cluster of white buildings, centered around the distinctive tall bell tower of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, cascades down to the dark, calm sea. The scene is framed dramatically by dark foliage and branches from a foreground tree, creating a natural vignette.

Una passarel·la de fusta travessa una zona boscosa i humida a l'estany d'Ivars i Vilasana. Les fulles caigudes dels arbres la cobreixen parcialment. Al fons, un refugi de pesca, construït també amb fusta.

This tree was looking rather pleased with itself...

#photography #monochrome #blackandwhite #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #landscape #LandscapePhotography #trees #nature #woodland #scape
Black and white photograph of a strikingly twisted, thick-trunked tree with many bare, contorted branches, standing prominently in the foreground of a woodland. The tree is lit by sunlight coming from the side, casting deep, contrasting shadows on the ground, which is covered in fallen leaves. The background shows more dense, bare-branched trees, with some sunlight filtering through.

Sometimes better to be part of the crowd (on the Rialto Bridge) looking out than looking up at the crowd....

A view of the Grand Canal Venice from the Rialto Bridge. There is a water bus in the foreground with gondolas and another water bus further back. The Grand Canal is lined with palaces which are outlined against a moody sky

Seems like a crime to take the color out of #Burano but guilty as charged in the pursuit of shadows... 🕶️🔦

A dramatic black and white image of a narrow Burano canal, centered on the leaning bell tower rising above brightly lit buildings. Boats and pilings line the foreground of the dark waterway, contrasting with the sharp shadows cast by the low sun and the moody, dark sky.

'Seasons Change, Bridge Remains'

Historic Wensley Bridge, its stone arches spanning the River Ure, under a dramatic and moody autumnal sky.

Sparty 🍂

#EastCoastKin #Photography #ColorADay #RedWed #ArtYear #Art #PhotographersofBluesky #Travel #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueskyArt #Architecture #Nature
The photo depicts the historic Wensley Bridge, a stone arch bridge spanning the River Ure, under a dramatic and moody sky. The composition is arranged with the bridge angled from the lower left, leading the viewer's eye across the water towards the trees on the right bank. The bridge itself is a prominent feature, constructed from large, weathered grey stone blocks with patches of green moss and lichen covering its surface, hinting at its age and long history. Two distinct pointed arches are visible, with the downstream side of the bridge showcasing a mixture of architectural styles, including these likely 15th-century arches and a broader, more modern arch. The water beneath the bridge is dark and reflective, creating a near-perfect mirror image of the arches, the foliage, and the overcast sky. The riverbank in the foreground is a mix of small grey pebbles, gravel, and sparse, dry grass, with a small spit of land protruding slightly into the calm water. Autumnal colours dominate the foliage, particularly on the far bank where tall trees glow with vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and deep russet, providing a warm contrast to the cooler tones of the stone and water. The trees are full and lush, creating a dense line of colour against the horizon. The sky is a dramatic canvas of deep, bruised-looking clouds in shades of blue and dark grey, with streaks of brighter light peeking through, suggesting the sun is either setting or rising behind the clouds. This interplay of light and shadow, with the vibrant autumn colours set against the cool, ancient stone and dark water, creates a powerful and evocative scene of natural and historical beauty. The image conveys a sense of tranquility and the passage of time, with the serene reflection on the water and the enduring presence of the stone bridge.

A dramatic black and white photograph of an old castle. A pathway leads directly toward the castle entrance, flanked by grassy mounds on either side. A flag flies from a small pole fixed to the top right of the wall. The sky is filled with moody clouds.

Pogerola is a small town sitting high above the #AmalfiCoast #italy with stunning views. The church of Santa Marina Vergine is one of several in the area. Not many tourists visit.

#photography #travel #monochrome #blackandwhite #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #landscape #LandscapePhotography
A dramatic black and white image capturing the coastal view from Pogerola. The foreground shows a historic church with a prominent arched facade and a short, tiered bell tower. It overlooks the vast dark Tyrrhenian Sea, with a distant cargo ship on the water and mountains visible under a heavily clouded sky.

Not sure the world needs another photo of these towers in Villa Rufolo in #Ravello looking over the #AmalfiCoast #italy, but here’s my contribution to the collection anyway…..

A tall central pine tree is silhouetted against a bright sky. Below the tree are two weathered domed towers. In the background the vast calm Mediterranean Sea stretches to the horizon. There are some clouds visible on the horizon.
