The beauty of twilight, night touched by day, light fading into dark, a world barely visible, glowing, a world we never imagined.....

The magnificent dead trees of Deadvlei contrast against a towering red dune, clothed in warm twilight that is so special in Namibia. A surreal, uniquely beautiful scene, so typical of this amazing country!

The deeply contorted lands of Namibia give rise to some truly unusual and otherworldly landscapes. This particular evening, fierce winds were blowing, and the combination of twilight and windblown dust blessed us with exceptional light, transforming these strange lands into the surreal.

The dunes in Namibia's Sossusvlei are all sand, except this one, and the beautiful interplay of the protruding rocks and textured sand comes to its full expression when clothed in dusk's soft, warm twilight.

The quality of light in Namibia is like none I have encountered anywhere else. It transforms Namibia's unique, at times surreal, landscapes into a world of dreams. A world of layers, punctuated by beautiful acacia trees, is painted in magical light which brings out the hidden, rich colors and textures of distant mountains.⁠

A tall, white superyacht is docked in a harbor in this black and white, square-format photograph. The yacht dominates the center, featuring a sleek hull, multiple decks, and a prominent mast structure topped with antennae and radar domes. To the right, a large industrial building with a sawtooth roofline provides a dark, high-contrast background. The water is dark and still, reflecting the moody, overcast lighting. A smaller, darker boat is visible tied up next to the yacht in the foreground.

mast

#photography #minimalism #BlackAndWhitePhotography #StreetPhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix

A stark black and white photograph showing a tall, thin communications mast silhouette rising above a densely forested ridge line. The trees are rendered in deep, almost solid black, contrasting sharply with the bright, overcast, and moody sky that occupies the upper half of the frame. The sky features dark, heavy clouds with a small patch of brighter light directly behind the center of the mast.

What a brilliant way to describe it as "unfeeling isolation." Thanks 😊👍🏻

ACTION: Sign the petition and tell the UK government to protect our pollinators.

The UK’s pollinator numbers are dropping heavily - we need the UK government to step in and protect them.

Does this photo remind you of something? Maybe the movie The Birds? The movie was #Spooktober, I mean spooktacular. 👻

A black-and-white photograph of a rugged rocky coastline with ocean waves breaking against the dark, textured rocks under a cloudy sky. The soft light and fine grain give the image a classic film aesthetic. Captured on Ilford HP5+ film with a Minox 35GT-E and its 35mm f/2.8 Color-Minotar lens, developed in Rodinal 1:25 for strong contrast and defined texture.

Opulence

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekOForOpulent #Photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography

A low-angle, black and white photograph of a large, dark-hulled superyacht sailing in the calm water of the River Clyde. The massive yacht dominates the right half of the frame, its tiered white superstructure contrasting with the dark hull and the moody, overcast sky. Rolling hills and a distant shoreline with scattered buildings line the horizon beneath a flat, cloudy sky. The water is textured and dark, reflecting the overcast light.
