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.

A woman stands on a sofa, she is wearing a jumper and black knickers; although the room is lit by a bare bulb she is illuminated by a bright light from elsewhere.

Llandudno GoldWing Light Parade 2014
#photography
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.

A weathered concrete wall features a geometric pattern of vertical and horizontal rectangular protrusions and recesses. A small metal fixture, a light, is mounted near the top left. The lower section includes a rough ledge and broken concrete base. To the right, dense foliage and a rusted metal element are partially visible, adding contrast to the aged structure. An outdoor skatepark with smooth ramps and curved structures is enclosed by a red metal fence. The background includes bushes, a streetlamp, and a scenic view of a body of water with hills on the horizon. The sky is partly cloudy, and the foreground features green grass, blending urban sport infrastructure with natural beauty. A narrow paved road curves through a stone archway tunnel built from dark stones. The arch features yellow and black painted segments, likely serving as visual markers. The stonework is aged and detailed, with visible mortar and weathering. The road surface shows wear, adding to the historic and utilitarian feel of the structure. A residential entrance with a rusted decorative metal gate and stone wall is partially obscured by overgrown vegetation. Behind the gate, a white caravan is parked in a densely vegetated area. A small sign on the left reads “Bodafon Villa.” Fallen leaves on the paved road suggest an autumn setting, contributing to the secluded and mysterious atmosphere.

Overgrown structure covered in dense ivy and vines, with a tall ivy-clad chimney rising above. The entrance is obscured by vegetation and features graffiti reading “ROBO” in large white letters on a dark door. The scene has a moody, abandoned atmosphere under a cloudy sky.

A bald person in a bright yellow shirt stands out in the center of a group of people wearing white full-face masks. The individual wears a headset with a microphone, suggesting a leadership or communicative role. The setting is indoors with worn, industrial-style walls and a misty atmosphere, creating a stark contrast between the masked crowd and the unmasked central figure. A group of people in white lab coats and white face masks stand in a dimly lit room illuminated by green light projections. Abstract patterns resembling foliage or digital textures are cast onto the walls and participants, creating a surreal, futuristic ambiance. The uniform attire and dramatic lighting suggest an art installation or experimental performance. In a shadowy room, people dressed in white protective suits and white masks stand amid dramatic lighting. One person holds a guitar, another a camera-like device. Projected text appears on the wall and partially on the figures, with phrases like “the last day I ever started to think of me as” and “to close,” adding a mysterious, theatrical tone to the scene. A black and white photo shows a person in profile wearing a white coat and a white mask positioned atop their head. The individual has short hair and gazes slightly upward. The dimly lit background features wooden panels and a blurred figure also dressed in white, evoking a contemplative or backstage moment in a performance setting.

China’s official military news PLA Daily: “Japan will become a sea of fire from Hokkaido to Okinawa, with no place left unscathed. Any attempt to interfere in the Taiwan issue will drag Japan into an abyss of no return, turning its homeland into eternal ruins.”

A person in a bright red coat stands leaning against a large, ornate wooden door framed by pale stone architecture. The door features deep geometric panels, and the person is looking slightly toward the camera with gloved hands at their sides. Wide stone steps lead up to the doorway.

Quality Meat
#talybont #cymru #photography
A small, weathered building with a slate roof and rough pebble-dash walls, featuring red-and-white striped awnings covering a shop window labelled “T.J. Parry-Jones Quality Meat.” In front of the building, pots of colourful flowers sit beside an overgrown garden. A narrow road and stone wall curve away to the left under a grey, overcast sky.

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.

A misty autumn landscape featuring a calm reflective lake in the foreground, green fields and reeds along the water’s edge, and a cluster of white cottages nestled at the base of a tree-covered hillside. The trees show a mix of autumn colours, and the forested slopes behind are shrouded in soft fog.
