The image shows a close-up view of an old, weathered suitcase. The suitcase has a brown leather exterior with visible wear and tear, including scratches and discoloration. The focus is on the metal latch and lock mechanism. The latch is a hinged, U-shaped metal piece that appears slightly rusted, with a small hole for securing it. Next to it is a round keyhole with a serrated edge, part of a metal lock plate that is also showing signs of rust and age. A leather handle is partially visible on the left side, adding to the vintage appearance of the suitcase. The overall texture suggests it has been well-used over time.

The image shows the shadows of a person and a horse cast on a ground covered with wood chips. The shadow of the person is on the left, depicting a human figure standing upright with arms raised, holding a camera. The shadow of the horse is on the right, featuring a distinct horse head with ears, a long neck, and a body, suggesting the horse is standing close to the person. The ground texture is uneven, with scattered wood chips, and the lighting indicates the sun is low, creating long, clear shadows.

Shit happens!

After Teddy moved in with us a few weeks ago, shortly before he was going to be taken to the shelter, and things were looking very good with him for the first few weeks, we unfortunately had to pull the emergency brake.

The image shows a Maine Coon cat lounging in a hammock attached to a scratching post. The cat has a fluffy, multi-colored coat with shades of brown, black, and white, and striking green eyes. It is positioned sideways, with its body stretched out comfortably on the soft, beige hammock. The scratching post, covered in sisal rope, stands vertically behind the cat, and the background is a plain, light-colored wall.

The image depicts a building constructed from dark lava stones. The stones are irregularly shaped and stacked to form a rugged, textured wall. On the front, there is a bright blue wooden door, creating a stark contrast with the dark stones. To the left of the door, a stone staircase made of lava stones leads upward. To the right of the door, there is a wooden frame resembling a table. At the bottom of the image, a small yellow plant adds some color to the otherwise stony surroundings. The sky in the background is clear with a few white clouds.

The picture shows two bay horses that look alike, grazing on a green meadow. The horses are facing each other and eating grass with their heads bowed, their heads close together. The meadow is covered with tall, lush grass that stretches to the horizon. Gentle, wooded hills rise in the background under a cloudy sky. The scene appears peaceful and rural, with a natural, untouched atmosphere. The colors are muted, giving the picture a calm and harmonious mood.

Terminal.

'Führende Linien' #FotoVorschlag

#pletzfeldmomentsintime #photography #darktable #mywork #myphoto

The image depicts the interior of an airport terminal. The space is wide and open, with a polished, reflective floor that mirrors the surroundings. The ceiling features a modern design with horizontal slats, allowing warm, golden light to filter through, creating a series of parallel beams across the area. The lighting is soft yet striking, with the slats casting subtle shadows. On either side, there are rows of empty seats, for waiting passengers, and cylindrical support columns are spaced evenly throughout. On the right side, there are vending machines and along the way are illuminated advertisement pilars, while the left side has large windows letting in natural light. A solitary person is walking down the center of the terminal. Signage on the ceiling indicates directions, and the overall atmosphere is clean and spacious. The image features a strong leading line effect created by the parallel beams of light and the horizontal slats on the ceiling, which draw the viewer's eye toward the center of the terminal. These lines converge at a vanishing point in the distance, guiding attention down the long, straight corridor. The reflective floor enhances this effect by mirroring the ceiling lines, creating a symmetrical and immersive perspective. The solitary person walking centrally reinforces the leading lines, acting as a focal point that pulls the eye deeper into the scene, adding depth and a sense of journey through the spacious airport terminal.

This is a black-and-white photograph featuring a tall, uniquely shaped rock formation standing prominently in a rugged landscape. The rock has a narrow base that widens into a thicker, textured top, resembling a natural pillar or hoodoo. The surface of the rock is rough and layered, with visible striations and eroded patterns. Surrounding the formation is a rocky, barren terrain with scattered stones and sparse vegetation. In the background, there are rolling hills or mountains under a clear sky, adding depth to the scene. The overall mood is stark and serene, highlighting the natural beauty and isolation of the rock formation.

The image shows an old, weathered window set into a wall. The window frame is made of wood and painted white, but the paint is peeling and chipped, revealing the old structure of the wood. The window has several panes divided by a crossbar made of wooden slats. The window is secured by metal struts, some of which show signs of rust and wear. The glass panes reflect a cloudy sky and some greenery outside, suggesting a natural environment. The window is surrounded by a thick, yellowish-brown plaster border, which is edged with a bold blue decorative strip that contrasts with the light gray wall. The base of the wall is painted red, adding a splash of color to the scene. The overall impression is that of a rustic, historic building in need of renovation.

The Ferris wheel has a sturdy metal framework with numerous spokes and support beams, painted in a weathered off-white color with some visible rust and wear. At the center of the wheel, a colorful sign reads "GRAND SOLEIL" in bold, multicolored letters with a decorative border. The cabins, attached to the wheel's rim, are rectangular with yellow and white panels, and they are evenly spaced around the structure. The perspective is from below, looking up, emphasizing the height and grandeur of the Ferris wheel.

The image shows an abandoned, weathered wooden shed on a lush green hillside. The shed, with its slanted red roof and rough, uneven wooden planks mixed with some stone at the base, appears dilapidated, with an open door revealing a dark, empty interior and broken wood suggesting neglect. Thick green vegetation, including grass and small plants, surrounds the structure, and two single trees with a full canopy stands to the right. In the background, rolling green hills and mountains stretch under a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds, creating a serene yet desolate mountain landscape.

The image features a gray horse standing on a sandy ground in front of a wooden barn under a sunny, clear blue sky. The horse appears calm, with its head turned slightly to the side. What makes the image amusing is the horse's shadow, which, due to the angle of the sunlight, humorously resembles the shape of a donkey, complete with a distinct head and ears.

This image depicts a long narrow, dimly lit bathroom with a rustic, vintage feel. The room has dark wooden walls and a tiled floor with a glossy finish, reflecting some light. On the right side, there is a white sink with a black pipe and a small shelf above it. Further down, a white toilet with a wooden seat is positioned against the wall. A small window with a grid pattern at the end of the room allows natural light to stream in, illuminating the space and casting a soft glow on the floor. On the left wall, there’s a vertical pipe, and on the right wall, a mirror and some hanging items, possibly towels or decorations, are visible. The overall atmosphere is moody and old-fashioned, with the light creating a contrast between the bright window area and the shadowy corners.

The image features a fluffy tomcat with a mix of white and grayish-brown fur, sitting on a wooden platform in a cat room of the shelter. He has striking yellow-green eyes and a white face with a pink nose. His ears are large and pointed, but his right ear is damaged and appears to have died off due to a previous aural hematoma (blood ear). His fur is long and shaggy, particularly around his chest and legs, giving him a fluffy look.

#pletzfeldmomentsintime #photography #darktable #mywork #myphoto

The image shows an old, rusty jerry can lying on a green meadow. It has a hinged lid and handles on the top. It's surface has visible holes and corrosion on it. The metal is completely covered with rust and some lichen, indicating that it has been exposed to the elements for a long time. The lighting suggests that it is a sunny day and the can probably lies under trees or bushes that cast soft shadows around it.
