Black and white portrait of a woman standing outdoors, gazing directly into the camera with an intense, confident expression. Her curly hair frames her face, and she wears a denim jacket that she grips lightly with one hand. The background is softly blurred, with leaves and tree bark adding natural texture behind her.

Black and white portrait of a woman with shoulder-length wavy hair, wearing a patterned wrap dress with short sleeves and large buttons. She gazes confidently toward the camera with her head slightly tilted, lips parted, and one eye partially covered by her hair. The soft lighting and shallow depth of field create a gentle, intimate mood.

"The Babel fish," said The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy quietly, "is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe."

Close-up view of a concrete edge beside clear blue-green water. The photo shows the textured surface of the concrete with patches of moss and a the impression from a long gone circular metal ring, a former mooring point. The image captures the meeting line between land and water, with gentle ripples reflecting light.

A photograph taken through the window of a fish and chip shop, showing a glowing hot counter with sausages under warm light. Reflections in the glass merge the interior with the street outside, where a white car and shopfronts are visible. The layered reflections create a quiet, dreamlike blend of inside and outside scenes, with muted tones and a sense of stillness.

Day 10 - Welsh bands (that formed in1992)

From the famously Welsh Stereophonics to the equally famously Welsh Catatonia. Didn't know till now about the year bit though (thank you Wikipedia).

Mid Flight

Model: Nicole Rayner
#photography
A surreal portrait of a woman in a black suit and heels appearing to levitate horizontally above a neatly made bed in a dimly lit room. Her hair is voluminous and windswept, and she extends one arm forward as if in mid-flight. The scene is illuminated with dramatic green and red lighting, casting bold shadows on the walls and accentuating the cinematic, dreamlike atmosphere.

“I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air—
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair...”

A black-and-white photograph of a motorcyclist riding through a city street at night. The bike is adorned with bright lights and several large flags trailing behind. The motion blur of the background buildings and streetlights creates a sense of speed and energy, while the wet pavement reflects the lights dramatically.

Local firework displays are in full swing and upsetting my cat. He hates fireworks - not because of the noise - he just can't stand the thought of people enjoying themselves.

Yellow Tape
#conwy #shootGR #GRist #GRsnaps
This photo captures a close-up of a weathered wooden utility pole partially wrapped with a wide strip of bright yellow plastic tape. A single black cable is loosely fastened to the pole, with the tape helping to keep it in place. Carved lettering on the pole reads “BT” and possibly part of a code, indicating it belongs to British Telecom infrastructure. At the base of the pole, wild bramble plants with thorny stems and large, serrated green leaves are growing freely. Some ripening blackberries and dried leaves are visible among the foliage, adding a touch of seasonal detail. In the background, there’s a rough stone wall, suggesting a rural or semi-rural setting. The textures of aged wood, plastic, and bramble contrast strongly, giving the image a tactile, slightly neglected feel—where nature and infrastructure coexist uneasily.
