All That Remains

It’s been a minute! Keeping up with social media not been top of my to do list.

Here is a set of three from a bigger series exploring the gradual decay in human-made structures. Each of the three from a different country beginning with “I”

Totems

These remnants of Brighton’s West Pier looked splendid in the fading winter light. The detailed colour and patina probably lost on a small screen. Tap and zoom for best effect!

Blues Rock(s)

Get up early or stay out late… I love the blue hour for photographing rocks and the sea.

A Dream within a Dream

“I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of golden sand—
….
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?“

Excerpt: ‘A Dream within a Dream’ by Edgar Allan Poe, 1849

Tumult
O save me from the tumult of the soul!
From the wild beasts within!
For circling sands,
When the swift whirlwind whelms them o'er the lands;
The roaring deeps that to the clouds arise,
While thwarting thick the mingled lightning flies

James Thomson,1700-1748

Love…

Is it just me, or can you see the word emerging from the *flames* in this wave? I’ve been looking at this image for weeks and only this morning did the word leap out at me. I swear, I did not create this in the edit!

Thunderous

Nothing prepared me for Iceland’s biggest waterfall. Here a 30-40m section of the upper cascade. It earns its name ‘Dynjandi’ - thunderous in Icelandic - with the sound & sensation of the water rampaging down. I was suitably awed.

Though the ocean is my first love, I find many things so endlessly fascinating. These are from my Dark Matter series.

One day in November (actually just a three hour session) - the light shifted, creating colours galore. Some ICM waves on the Cornish coast.
