For some reason, my mind connected this image to the opening scene from "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" as the animation pans through the interior structure of the snowflake on which the setting takes place.

Such a shallow focus with macro photography, I love these little landscapes

This macro shot of foliage growing inside of a broken twig has a fantasy-esque feel in the scale and perspective of small landscapes. In my mind, I see a full sized tree being reclaimed by nature emerging from its center.

A small twig lies at rest as new growth rises from its center, slowly being overtaken by the surrounding foliage.

A small sprig keeps the water droplet in place thanks to its tiny fibers on the leaf, which trap air bubbles between the droplet and the surface.

#macrophotogrpahy #photogrpahy #sony #effervescence
A water droplet hanging from a sprig due to surface tension demonstrates the plant's structure of tiny fibers that trap air between the leaf and droplet. A tiny sprig is able to prevent this water droplet from moving due to it's minuscule fibers along the leaf itself, trapping air bubbles between the water droplet and the leaf

Macro photography is still landscape photography if you get the right angle

Ruddy Darter's conservation status is regarded as secure, and indeed numbers seem to be increasing in some locations.

One of the things I appreciate about photography is how it pushes me to explore new perspectives, often leading to moments of unexpected beauty. A kneeling glance at this stone, jutting out higher than the others, was one of those subtle yet surprisingly stunning instances.

In a field of seaweed-covered stones, one rises above the rest. This landscape photo captures the scene, with the sun casting light on the foggy atmosphere.

Saw some deer nuzzling their noses in the snow. 11/10 would photograph again.

Fog creates a volumetric sense of depth for atmospheric photos.

As the sun sets it lays on a bed of leaves. It shines warm lights into the volumetric fog of the backlit sky and shades the foreground

A rugged shoreline made up of boulders and rocks gradually gives way to a soft layer of moss covering the beach, with dense evergreen trees filling the landscape beyond the foreground.

First time I’ve reshared this since taking it 2 years ago - not a huge fan of sharing old work though there’ll be a few on here likely not seen this image. Seems appropriate for the current conditions in the UK which makes a nice change 😀

A few reasons why I love clouds! 😊

Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia! A moment of sublime beauty as heavy clouds slowly lift, unveiling the majesty that lurks behind. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile. A moment of unspeakable beauty as the last light of day touches churning clouds rushing over the jagged cliff faces of South Africa's Table Mountain. For me there is nothing as beautiful as mountains emerging behind clearing clouds. It is magical and ethereal, and can be so in infinitely many ways. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia.

Keeping subjects between cautious and triggered by my presence; body language is sometimes an effective form of interspecies communication.
