Thank you!

Two butterflies with vibrant orange wings and black markings are perched on a rough, grey tree trunk. The sunlight catches their wings against the blurred brown background of a forest.

Thank you Luis

a very non-trivial idea, I would not have thought of this (I would not have seen it if I had not specifically looked for it), my congratulations!

A close-up, low-angle shot of several thin, brown branches with a few dried, yellow leaves clinging to them against a dark, out-of-focus background of trees at night. The branches are illuminated by a warm, golden light, and several small droplets of water are visible on the branches and leaves. One of the leaves is in the center of the frame, and it has a long, thin drip of water hanging from it. The background is a deep, dark brown, and the out-of-focus trees create a sense of depth and mystery. The overall mood of the image is one of quiet regret and disappointment.

the question went unanswered,
it seems the meanings didn't get through,
forget it,
let it be as it will be

An oil painting of a tranquil winter landscape under a clear, pale blue sky. In the foreground, a vast, snow-covered pond is marked by subtle footprints and small, frost-dusted bushes. Two large, leafless trees heavily laden with white snow frame the scene on the left and right. In the mid-ground, a grand, pale yellow building with a small dome sits nestled among a dense, snow-covered forest at the foot of a gentle, wooded hill. The painting uses a textured impasto technique, giving the snow a thick, physical presence against the soft, cool tones of the winter day. Orange Orangery in the Kuzminki Estate.

An up-close shot of a thick, sculpted piece of crusty white snow nestled in the fork of a dark, textured tree branch. The snow has a porous, almost honeycomb-like texture with small holes, and its surface glitters slightly in the sunlight. In the background, the soft-focus silhouettes of bare winter trees stand against a clear, blue sky.

This image shows a close-up, straight-on view of an old, weathered stone wall. The rectangular blocks are unevenly shaped and arranged in rough horizontal rows.

Blocked, it falls mute -
speech silenced, gone.

Where do we turn for that missing word?

It dwells now in pure, endless silence.
#wall #photography

An extreme close-up of a melting snowdrift in soft, low-angle sunlight. The snow has a coarse, granular texture, appearing like salt or crushed ice. A small, translucent icicle hangs from an overhanging ledge of snow, with a single water droplet poised to fall from its tip. The background is softly blurred, showing more glistening, uneven snow illuminated by warm, golden light.

even simple - no, it would sound softer

Thank you Freda!

thank you!

A narrow, winding path cut through deep, sun-dappled snow in a dense forest. Slender, dark tree trunks cast long, soft shadows across the undulating white surface, while a few stray brown leaves rest on the snow's crust.

A close-up, low-angle shot of bare tree branches silhouetted against a dark, moody, and overcast night sky. The branches are thin and intricate, with small droplets of water or ice clinging to them, catching a faint, soft light. The background is a deep, hazy grey-purple, creating a somber and atmospheric winter or late autumn scene.

A low-angle shot of a sailboat mast against a clear, deep blue sky. The top of the mast is equipped with various navigation and weather instruments, including an anemometer and multiple antennas.

The silhouettes of several trees are captured in low light against a dusky, brownish-grey sky. In the center, the intricate, skeletal branches of a leafless tree reach upward. To the right, another tree still retains some dark, blurred foliage, suggesting a slight breeze. The overall mood is quiet and melancholic.

this is for a long time

A collage of five photos showcasing a handmade wooden pencil holder crafted from a thick, rustic block of light-colored wood. The block features four holes on top, holding three colored pencils and one graphite pencil. Each side of the block is decorated with a small, textured oil painting of an Egyptian-inspired scene: Top left: A tall palm tree with yellow fruit against a pale sky. Bottom left: The Pyramids of Giza under a bright blue sky. Top right: The Great Sphinx of Giza in warm, sandy tones. Bottom right: A stylized yellow and orange flowering plant or tree. Center: A perspective view of the pencil holder, showing how the pyramid and plant paintings wrap around the block’s rounded edges.

This shot is almost random - I was just watching my feet to avoid sinking in the spring flood (the one with ducks in the photo below) and noticed my shadow. For staged shots, besides season and sun height, atmospheric conditions will matter too

A close-up, low-angle shot of a thin, dark twig poking through a layer of sparkling, textured snow. The snow is illuminated by a soft, low light, creating deep shadows and bright, shimmering highlights. The background is a soft, dreamlike blur of grey and white, suggesting a cold, wintry landscape at dusk or dawn.

A high-angle photo of a long shadow cast by a person onto a patch of patchy green grass and dry, brown leaves. Interwoven with the person's silhouette are the thin, vertical shadows of bare tree branches, creating a dark, web-like pattern across the sunlit ground. The lighting suggests a bright day with the sun positioned low behind the subject.

A wide landscape photo of a sandy beach at golden hour. In the center, a cluster of large, weathered rocks extends from the sand toward the calm, blue sea. To the left of the rocks, a bright orange lifebuoy hangs on a white post. The sun, low in the sky, casts a warm, yellow glow over the scene, while soft, white clouds stretch across the horizon.

A male mallard duck stands in a vast, pristine field of white snow. Its iridescent green head and bright yellow beak contrast sharply against the snowy backdrop. The duck is captured mid-stretch, with its wings arched upward and outward, revealing grey and white feathers. Small orange feet are visible where it stands in the deep powder. The composition is minimalist, with the duck centered and surrounded by a soft, white expanse.

A close-up, shallow-depth-of-field shot of a smooth, dark grey, layered rock partially submerged in clear, rippling water at a shoreline. The water creates a shimmering surface over the rock, while the surrounding area consists of smaller, multi-colored pebbles in shades of tan, red, and charcoal. The background is softly blurred, focusing attention on the texture of the wet stone and the movement of the gentle tide.

A detailed, close-up shot of a vibrant pink flower. The soft, layered petals have delicate, slightly pointed edges and transition from a deep rose at the center to a softer pink at the tips. The focal point is the center of the bloom, which reveals a cluster of pale yellow stamens and a prominent, star-shaped white stigma. The background is softly blurred in warm, neutral tones, highlighting the flower's intricate texture.

An impressionistic oil painting of a small bird perched on a snowy branch during a gentle snowfall. The bird, with soft blue feathers on its wings and a warm, orange-buff breast, sits quietly as thick, textured flakes of white snow fall around it. The background is a soft, blurred wash of pale teals and creams, creating a serene, wintry atmosphere. The visible canvas texture and impasto brushstrokes give the scene a tactile, cozy feel.

Yes, very similar.

An artistic landscape photo of a flooded grove of trees. In the foreground, the dark, textured trunks of several trees rise out of shallow, still water that reflects the surrounding branches and soft light. A pair of mallard ducks are nestled together on a small, grassy patch at the base of the leftmost tree. The background is a soft-focus blur of more trees and golden-green grass, creating a serene, misty atmosphere.

A large stone orb sits in the foreground of a nighttime city scene. The orb is made of grey speckled granite, and the background shows blurred city lights and a large building under a dark sky. This scene was photographed near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
