Framed serenity
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekFForFramed #photography

#EastCoastKin
The photo focuses on a close-up view through the open frame formed by two weathered orange wooden posts on a pier, capturing a serene lakeside scene beyond. Graffiti tags in black marker adorn the posts, adding an urban contrast to the natural backdrop. The foreground frame consists of two sturdy, vertical wooden beams with horizontal cross-supports, showing signs of age like peeling reddish-brown paint or stain and dark stains. Prominent graffiti reads “20845” on the right post and partial tags on the left, viewed from a low angle emphasizing their texture and structure. Beyond the frame lies the calm body of a lake with gentle ripples, scattered lily pads, and distant reedy shores under a clear blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The composition draws the eye through the posts to the expansive water, evoking tranquility on a sunny day. Shot in close proximity to the posts creates a natural “picture frame” effect, with strong perspective lines from the wood leading to the horizon. Natural lighting casts subtle shadows on the deck planks, enhancing depth without filters or edits apparent.

Green-Eyed Wall Rascal
Another photo taken in Beelitz-Heilstätten, today it’s for #TagTuesday and

On a weathered beige concrete wall, a minimalist graffiti sketch depicts a playful cat face. Simple black outlines form large, asymmetrical oval eyes with green accents that tilt mischievously, a tiny triangular nose, and a subtle curved “w” mouth, and a protruding tongue for extra cheekiness. Rough, uneven spray-paint strokes mimic a quick hand-drawn sketch, emphasizing drips and raw edges typical of street art’s sparse, essentialist style. The design strips away excess detail, letting the bold eyes and tongue dominate for an endearing, impish vibe that pops against the textured, aged surface. This approach echoes urban trends in playful cat motifs, blending whimsy with gritty minimalism.

Today’s #SensoryArt theme is #love. Hopefully spring is really only just around the corner so that this lovely birdhouse becomes inhabited. Good morning everyone and have a lovely day.

A small, weathered birdhouse perches on a sturdy wooden post, looking inviting and ready for spring’s first tenants. Its pale blue walls, tiny door and window, and little heart labeled “love” give it a cozy, handmade charm against the fresh green leaves in the background.

Here’s an unedited photo of my favorite lost place Beelitz-Heilstätten in Germany, rather moody but then again it was a godforsaken place in the past.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekFForFramed #ClassicMono
#Abstractia #repetition
This haunting black and white photograph captures a seemingly endless corridor within the Old Surgery building at Beelitz Heilstätten, the once-grand tuberculosis sanatorium built for Berlin’s working class in the late 19th century. The image draws the eye through multiple doorways that recede into shadowy depths, creating a powerful sense of infinite passage through time and abandonment. The composition is layered: in the foreground, darkened doorframes flank the entrance, their weathered surfaces speaking to decades of decay. Beyond them, an ornate wrought-iron lamp fixture hangs overhead, its elegant curved arms a ghostly reminder of the building’s original Wilhelmine-era architectural aspirations. The interplay of light and shadow creates an almost dreamlike atmosphere, bright rectangles of daylight punctuate the gloom, suggesting both illumination and the passage between worlds. The repeating doorways evoke the monotonous routine of institutional life, the countless footsteps of nurses, doctors, and patients who once moved through these halls. Now silent and abandoned, the corridor has become a threshold space, caught between its humanitarian past and its current state as a lost place, haunted not by spirits but by the weight of human suffering, hope, and the inexorable march of time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The juxtaposition of the medieval engraving on the window with the hustle & bustle below caught my eye 😁
View from an upstairs window at Liberty in London on a rainy day, looking through a black metal-framed pane with raindrops on the glass and a small stained-glass panel of a medieval couple at the top. Below, a narrow city street with pedestrians carrying umbrellas and warm shop lights glowing contrasts with the cool, grey buildings opposite.

A promotional poster for a photography theme event with light blue text overlaid on a atmospheric background image showing candlelight glowing in twilight. The background features a dusky blue-purple sky with multiple points of warm candlelight visible in the lower portion of the image. The text reads: Hashtag PalacesandGardens Thursday 12 February 2026 Theme hashtag AllAglow Look for: • Chandeliers and candelabras sparkling in halls and salons. • Wall sconces illuminating corridors and stairwells. • Lanterns lighting doorways and courtyards. • Candlelight flickering in windows, alcoves, or on mantels. Everyone is welcome. Hashtag EastCoastKin The poster uses a clean, modern sans-serif font in light blue-white that contrasts against the darker atmospheric background, creating an elegant and inviting design that echoes the theme of light and glow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Alles wartet.
Das Licht ist noch nicht ganz wach,
die Erde hält den Atem an,
und zwischen den Stromkabeln fängt sich
die Farbe der Träume.
Ein Moment, so flüchtig wie der Nebel,
und doch so fest wie die Wurzeln im Dunkeln.

#treeoftheday

Das Foto zeigt die markante Silhouette eines einzelnen, laublosen Baumes im Vordergrund, dessen feine Verästelungen sich wie ein filigranes Adernnetz gegen den Himmel abheben. Der untere Teil des Bildes ist in dichten, dunklen Nebel gehüllt, aus dem im Hintergrund schemenhaft weitere Bäume auftauchen. ​Besonders auffällig ist der Farbverlauf des Himmels: Während der untere Bereich in ein sanftes, warmes Goldgelb getaucht ist, geht das Licht nach oben hin in zarte Violett- und Pastellblautöne über. Die Lichtstimmung deutet auf einen frühen Morgen oder den beginnenden Abend hin, wobei die Stromleitungen im Hintergrund einen dezenten Kontrast zwischen Natur und Zivilisation bilden.

Winter‘s grip
Good morning everyone, have a nice Monday and a good week ahead.

A delicate branch extends diagonally across the frame, transformed by freezing rain into a crystalline sculpture. The ice coating emphasizes every subtle curve and node along the slender twig, creating a glassy sheath that catches and refracts the light. Individual droplets have frozen mid-drip, forming translucent beads suspended along the branch’s underside. The shallow depth of field isolates this ice-encased subject against a soft, muted backdrop of cool blues and grays, suggesting overcast winter sky. The minimalist composition draws the eye along the branch’s graceful line, while the bokeh creates an atmospheric, almost melancholic mood. The photograph captures that ephemeral moment when winter transforms the mundane into something fragile and otherworldly, nature suspended between states, holding its breath before the thaw.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Love that art on an abandoned building, Rhine/beach,Cologne

You may give them your love but not your thoughts
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow...
Kahlil Gibran. "On Children." #UrbanGaze #StreetArt #poetry
Thick metal door on an old, abandoned building, remains of white paint on the cement walls. On the door the painting of a little girl about four years old, from behind, with a pony tail and a bright red dress. She is walking away from you carrying a small metal bucket with the shoot of a plant, very green.

A ribbled nearly dried up puddle on a beach in the foreground leading into the distance. A silhouetted couple is walking over it in the background towards the left. At the horizon we see buildings from a harbour and industry. The sky is clouded but the sun pierces through softly, reflecting in the puddle.

Guten Morgen.
Es ist Frühling!!! 💛🤍💚 #FlowersOnSunday
Ein naturbelassener Garten im frühen Frühling, in dem zahlreiche weiße Schneeglöckchen ihre zarten Glockenblüten sanft zur Erde neigen. Am linken unteren Bildrand setzt eine einzelne, leuchtend gelbe Winterling-Blüte einen markanten farblichen Akzent. Zwischen den Blumen finden sich trockene Zweige, braunes Vorjahreslaub und frische grüne Blätter, während im Hintergrund weitere Frühlingsboten im weichen Licht verschwimmen. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und friedlich.

Alan has set the #BirdOfTheDay to #posted, which is any bird on a fence or post.

Was pretty pleased when I stumbled upon this palm warbler on a fence while rummaging around in my library. 😊

#Photography #Birds #Stunday
A small yellow and brown palm warbler sits atop a chain link fence which runs along the bottom of the frame. Behind is green and black background where the bright green bokeh gives the faint impression of outstretched wings behind the bird.
