A photograph of a towering cliff face rising sharply from the edge of the sea on the Scottish coastline. The rock surface is rugged and craggy, showing deep textures and jagged edges that emphasise its dramatic height. At its base, the ocean appears smooth and mist-like, blurring into a soft, silken surface that contrasts with the harshness of the stone. The scene is presented in strong contrasts of light and dark, which draw attention to the power and raw beauty of the cliffs against the calm expanse of water below.

I can't see clearly all the detail: the mist gets in the way. But maybe that's not the way to think. How about this? The mist grabs my attention and draws my eye, adds wonder to the view.

A farmhouse sits quietly in the distance surrounded by a misty field. Autumn leaves and bare corn stalks add to the serene atmosphere.

Three Halloween Cats At The Window. Nighttime image of three watchful cats in silhouette, sitting on a cushioned bench at a window, watching leaves blow from the tree outside. The colors of yellow, orange, electric blue and black evoke Halloween. In fact, one cat appears to be electrified. A whimsical and fun, spooky image.

Anyone who's ever lived with a cat can appreciate the alert body stance, cocked head and curled tail of the cats as these fascinating creatures observe the movement outside.
