#throwbackthursday #minimalism #photography
A minimalist, line-art selfie, made in Photoshop somewhere between 2010 and 2015. The style is highly abstract and minimalist, using only a few simple black lines on a white background to suggest the facial features and hair. The hair is represented by a cluster of short, curved, somewhat jagged lines on the top of the head. Curved lines suggest the eyebrows or the crease of the forehead.The eyes give the impression of a focused gaze. There is a single, short, curved line that suggests the bottom and side of the nose. A long, gentle curve suggests the contour of the jaw and chin. A simple, upward-curving horizontal line forms a smile.

#autumn #landscape #nature #photography
Reflections of a forest on a rippled body of water. The image is dominated by vertical, distorted bands of autumn colors. The most striking feature is the intense, wavy, and fractured texture across the entire frame. Dominant are deep browns, olives, and darker greens. Patches of bright yellow and golden-orange are visible, the reflection of fall foliage. To confuse the unimaginative, this photo has been rotated 180 degrees.

Fragile beauty

#bloomscrolling #nature #photography
A close-up photograph of a Cosmos flower in the late stages of its life cycle. The petals are a pale, translucent pink that fades into white. They feature distinct, deep magenta veins running lengthwise. The texture appears crinkled, thin, and papery, with the edges curling inward and turning brown as they dry out. In the lower left, there is a second, completely withered flower head. It is out of focus, appearing as a brown and gold smudge, reinforcing the theme of the life cycle.

Reflections

#autumn #landscape #nature #photography
A vibrant and textural reflection of a forest scene on the surface of rippled water. The water’s movement distorts the reflection, transforming it into something that resembles an abstract Impressionist painting. The image is dominated by the reflection of tall trees and dense foliage. Because it is a reflection, there are no straight lines. They are broken into thousands of tiny, zig-zagging horizontal segments. To confuse the unimaginative, this photo has been rotated 180 degrees.

Two vertical sections of a tree trunk. A strong, warm light source hits the bark from a sharp side angle. The illuminated parts of the bark glow with saturated amber, gold, and ochre tones. The crevices and the shadowed side of the left trunk are pitch black, creating high contrast. A deep, vertical shadow runs down the center of the image where the two sections of the tree meet. This creates a natural dividing line, separating the image into two textured pillars.

#fungifriday #mushtodon #nature #photography
A macro shot of a leafy brain fungus. It is growing directly on the rough bark of a decaying tree. The fungus is composed of a dense cluster of undulating, frilly lobes. The shape is reminiscent of a sea sponge, a coral formation, or the folds of a brain. The edges are thin and wavy, overlapping each other in a chaotic but organic rosette pattern. The coloration is a gradient of warm tones. The thinner, outer edges are a pale, translucent pinkish-white or pale peach. The thicker, central areas deepen into a rich amber, apricot, or golden-brown hue.

#fensterfreitag #windowfriday #photography
A pedestrian shopping street in a Dutch city at dusk. The perspective looks down the center of a brick-paved walkway, leading the eye toward the horizon where the deep blue sky meets the building silhouettes. The lighting is a striking contrast between the cool blue of the twilight sky and the warm, golden glow emanating from the shop windows. The store windows are plastered with promotional signage, including "black friday" and "1+1 gratis" (indicating a "buy one, get one free" sale).

Smurfs Log: Hidden in a small envelope inside a large box

A vintage photograph with a white border and decorative, scalloped edges. In the photograph, a group of five men dressed formally is standing in front of a storefront with large glass display windows. Several signs are visible in the window. One prominent sign reads, "F.A. STERK & Zn." This shop belonged to my great-grandfather and grandfather. The windows are packed with merchandise, including textiles, linens, and household goods. My father stands partially in the shadows of the doorway behind his father and brothers.

White with soft shades of pale pink

#bloomscrolling #nature #photography
A small, intricate cluster of bell-shaped flowers. They are primarily a translucent white color, tipped and infused with soft shades of pale pink. Inside the tiny open cups, you can see minute details like bright pink stamens. The flowers grow in a loose, somewhat spherical cluster at the end of a branching stem. The stem is a deep reddish-brown or burgundy color. If you look closely, you can see fine, tiny hairs along the green and red parts of the stem just below the flowers.

Fluffy seed heads

#bloomscrolling #nature #photography
Several clusters of delicate, fluffy seed heads. The stems are slender, dark, and leafless, branching out in an angular, organic pattern. Their silhouettes are visible against the low-hanging sun. A bright, glowing orb of light is visible near the bottom center, shining through the stems.

#autumn #landscape #nature #photography
A dense line of tall, slender trees dominates the canal bank through the forest. While many of the branches are bare, pockets of vibrant autumn colour remain. Golden-yellow and rust-orange leaves cling to some trees in patches. The dark water acts as a mirror, reflecting the vertical lines of the tree trunks and the intricate web of branches.

Tree of life

#urban #photography
A moody, atmospheric scene taken from inside a vehicle (while standing still) on a highway. The most striking element is a small, green tree or bush growing unexpectedly out of the top of a concrete highway barrier. It stands out as a burst of life against the gray, industrial background. The scene is blanketed in thick white mist, obscuring the background and the sky. Visibility is very low, creating a "whiteout" effect at the horizon. On the far left, the front bumper and headlight of a gray car are visible. A side-view mirror is visible in the bottom right corner, reflecting lights and showing water droplets.

#autumn #landscape #nature #photography
A forest scene during late autumn, shot facing directly into a low sun creating a dramatic, starburst effect. The bottom third of the image is covered in a carpet of fallen autumn leaves, rich shades of rust, copper, and brown, scattered across patches of vibrant green grass. To the left and right, dense green shrubbery frames the view, leading the eye toward the center. In the middle ground, there is a pond. The water is still enough to act as a mirror, reflecting the silhouettes of the trees and the bright glow of the sun. Tall, skeletal trees surround the water. Most have lost their leaves, displaying intricate networks of bare branches against the sky. The sky is a gradient of deep blue at the top, fading to a pale, whitish-blue near the horizon where the sun is located.

A close-up shot of a tree trunk with a geometric symbol that has been carved into the bark. The carving forms an hourglass shape, consisting of two triangles meeting at their points in the center. The carving exposes a lighter, brownish-orange layer of the wood beneath the darker, greyish outer bark.

Fluffy White

#bloomscrolling #nature #photography
A cluster of dried plants with fluffy, white seed heads.The wispy, cotton-like fibers are ready to be carried away by the wind. The stems are thin, brown, and brittle. The image utilizes a monochromatic, warm color scheme dominated by earthy tones. It features shades of sepia, deep bronze, tan, cream, and soft white.

Forest reflections

#monochromemonday #photography
The composition is centered around a narrow canal that stretches straight from the foreground into the distance, creating a strong sense of depth. The waterway is flanked on both sides by tall, slender trees, creating a rhythmic pattern of dark lines against the background. The dark tree trunks are mirrored in the water, but the ripples distort the reflection, turning the sharp lines of the trees into painterly strokes.

A crudely drawn smiley face spray-painted onto a tiled wall. Two roughly circular black blotches serve as eyes. Both have significant runs of paint dripping vertically from them, creating the visual impression that the face is "crying" black tears. A wide, U-shaped curve forms the smile. Gravity has pulled the excess paint downward from the main lines of the smile, creating a series of long, uneven vertical lines that extend across the tiles below.

#autumn #landscape #nature #photography
A serene autumn pathway just before sunset creating a peaceful and crisp atmosphere. Dominating the center and right side of the frame is a row of tall, stately trees, with their intricate network of bare branches reaching up into the blue sky, casting long shadows across the path. A dirt and gravel trail acts as a strong leading line, drawing the viewer's eye into the distance where the trees converge. The sun is positioned low on the left horizon, partially obscured by the distant tree line. This backlighting creates a glowing, starburst effect and illuminates the scene with warm, golden hues.

#silentsunday #nature #photography
An artistic, vertical photograph capturing the reflection of a forest on the surface of a body of water. The perspective creates an abstract, painterly effect rather than a literal representation of the trees. The water is not perfectly still. It is filled with thousands of tiny, intricate ripples and undulations. The result resembles the brushwork of an Impressionist painting, textured glass, or a mosaic, where the details are fragmented but the overall form remains recognizable. To confuse the unimaginative, this photo has been rotated 180 degrees.

A detached fabric label resting on a dark, reflective surface. The square-ish white synthetic fabric tag is commonly used for anti theft labels. The label is surrounded by a chaotic nest of loose, frayed threads. These fibers are translucent, shiny, and silver-white, suggesting the tag was ripped or cut hastily from a textile item.

#autumn #landscape #nature #photography
A vivid, abstract photograph of autumn trees reflected on the surface of rippled water. Dark, thick bands (the trees) run diagonally from the top to the bottom, creating a rhythmic pattern that breaks up the brighter areas. Patches of white and silver shimmer throughout the image, likely reflecting the sky or bright sunlight filtering through the canopy. The dominant colors are rich tones of gold, amber, rust, and ochre. There is a striking contrast between the bright foliage and the deep, inky blacks of the tree trunks and shadows. The movement of the water has distorted the reflection, turning straight lines into jagged, squiggly waves. This gives the image the appearance of an Impressionist oil painting.
