A weathered stone archway frames an open, ornate metal gate on the right and a tall, narrow evergreen on the left. Beyond the arch, a shaded stone path leads down toward a calm pond, bordered by grasses and wildflowers, with mature trees casting dappled sunlight across the lush green landscape.

Winter, a time of opposites, when a cold, frozen, foreboding world and warm, glowing light, live in perfect harmony.

Winter's end. A veil of fog covers these frozen lands. The horizon glows red, the warm light of dawn grows. In the distance, an island surrounded by frozen waters. Beautiful ice crystals have formed. The sun rises, beauty surrounds you. It may seem flat and featureless, but the frozen surface of Canada's lake Ontario is full of photography opportunities. As I was photographing sunrise, I happened to turn around to see beautiful light developing, complimented by fragments of ice sticking out of the vast, snow covered surface.

An old art deco neon paint store sign in the shape of a vertical arrow hanging on the front of a building. Across the top reads the name "Strykers" in neon letters. Below that, the word "Paints" is painted vertically in black paint and neon letters. To the right of that is the word "Wallpaper" spelled vertically in neon letters on a deteriorated rusty background. To the left of the sign is a Dutch Boy Paints logo mounted on a wall.

Monochrome image of a debris strewn space between tombs at the St Louis Cemetery No 1 in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This is the oldest surviving cemetery in New Orleans, with most tombs above ground due to the high water table and risk for flooding. Amongst others buried here is Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. It is touted as one of the most haunted cemeteries in the US. The image shows the rough and broken walls of vaults that stand taller than the viewer. The alley between contains broken pieces of brick and cement and an empty planter. The sky above, in contrast, is light and clear with puffy clouds.

Monochrome image of the interior of the Riverwalk Covered Bridge in Littleton, NH USA. The Bridge spans the Ammonusuc River. It connects the center of town to the riverwalk, a path along the river, and is a 352-foot Warren Truss Bridge completed in 2004. The photo shows the wooden walkway, walls, and inside roof of the structure, large wooden beams with steel plates and bolts. There are two people walking towards us in the center of the far opening and a lone figure at the left, looking out at the frozen river.

there is a weariness in the air
a hollow ache that simmers in the weight of these unprecedented times
It is easy to feel diminished, void of recognition, silenced by they who don't care
remember, it is normal to feel this way, expected even-
you are not alone 🩷

#words #encouragement #photography
Tall struggling pine tree, your needles so sparse, how are you still standing dear one? Is it your perch that keeps you from falling? The hope in the ocean below, the sight of a distant land? The sky full of soft pink? Perhaps your supported by those who too look like they have seen better days. The twisted sticks of a sleeping neighbour. Look towards the horizon, you sweet skinny tree for there is light on you even if you don't feel it right now

A photo of a city street on Sunday afternoon. A tall cream bricked building over the road. A yellow tram is travelling towards the left and dakes up most of the photo. Across the street a man wearing all black is walking along the pavement

a large, rusty iron ring linked to another smaller, similarly weathered ring, both set into concrete at Battery Russell, Fort Stevens in Oregon. the metal shows significant signs of corrosion and wear, with a rough, pitted texture and a reddish-brown color. the surrounding structure has a dark, damp appearance with patches of white and black, suggesting exposure to the elements and significant erosion over time.

The image is predominantly dark, with an almost black silhouetted trees in the foreground and dark, rolling plains behind, ending at dim, flat horizon. Overhead the sky is a little lighter, but again a fairly uniform dull grey, except about two thirds of the way down there is a break, and rays of sunlight are streaming through, from vertical to heavily slanted, illuminating the scene and bringing promise of light and day.
