Derrière la maison cet après-midi. Une belle vue pour travailler.

Photo d'automne. Arbre au feuillage jaune et sapin. On vit une partie d'une maison. Le ciel ne laisse voir qu'un peu de bleu.

"Snowy Night at Millennium Park"

The city glows, its lights threading through dark branches and steel towers--never really settling.

#UrbanGaze #AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNights #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Photography #Nikon

A high-angle nighttime view of Chicago’s Millennium Park. In the lower center sits the dark reflective form of Cloud Gate (“The Bean”), its curved surface faintly mirroring lights from surrounding walkways. The grid of paths, dotted with lampposts, fans outward into bare winter trees and toward the ice-skating rink visible at the lower left. Beyond, the jagged metallic arcs of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion gleam in the glow of spotlights. Skyscrapers rise densely in the background: the Prudential building to the far left, lit with rows of rectangular windows; taller towers extend through the center and right side, their facades stippled with light. In the color version, dramatic reds and oranges illuminate the Prudential building and Pavilion, while the rest of the city radiates cooler blue tones. The monochrome rendering strips these colors away, emphasizing geometry, light contrasts, and the rhythm of illuminated windows.
The photograph explores how urban light reshapes night, turning what might be absence into presence. The Bean becomes a dark void of reflection amid illumination, a counterweight to the bright towers—suggesting the paradox of night in the city: visible, vibrant, yet always holding mystery in its shadows.

It was a very miserable day, but it made my picture a bit more dramatic!
Lofoten, Norway

#Stunday #EastCoastKin

#Lofoten

The image features a striking, yellow wooden house set against a dramatic mountainous backdrop under a cloudy sky. The house has white trim around the windows and roofline, providing a stark contrast to the golden yellow of the wood. It sits near a body of water, with a small dock and railing extending from its side. The mountains in the background are imposing and rugged, with their peaks disappearing into the ominous clouds. The overall mood of the photograph is somewhat somber, with the dark clouds and craggy landscape contrasting with the bright color of the house.

Rain! Soggy photo from the garden
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleAutumn #BloomScrolling #OurGarden

A monochrome photo of a nasturtium flower with raindrops collecting on its three lower petals: the monochrome treatment sharpens the contrasts between the crinkly petal texture and the round, smooth, transparent raindrops. You can also see the inner parts of the flower, with its raggedy hairy edge guarding the stamens and the twisty pistil. The upper two petals have dark streaking running from the bases and fanning and fading outwards. The flower is set among round nasturtium leaves.
