Touching me, touching you #urban #photography #urbanscape #reflections #WindowsOnWednesday #ArtYear #smArtist
The image is a reflection of two buildings on the glass facade of another structure. The left side of the glass reflects a building with orange-tinted windows, bathed in warm light, creating a distinct grid pattern. The right half reflects a more classical stone building with rectangular windows and intricate detailing at the top. The reflection is slightly distorted, giving the scene a unique, wavy appearance. The glass panels are divided by dark, vertical, and horizontal lines, enhancing the geometric pattern throughout the image.

Spooked in the city #nature #photography #WackyWednesdayArt #31DaysOfHalloween #ArtYear #ClassicMono #smArtist
Black-and-white photograph of a city fountain framed by tree trunks in the foreground. The water jets rise in graceful arcs from the circular pools, cascading into lower basins. Behind the fountain stands a stately stone building with tall windows and flagpoles. A row of trees in front of the building is decorated with round, smiling face shapes, adding a whimsical contrast to the formal architecture. The lighting highlights the trees and water, creating a lively play of light and shadow.

The image captures a tranquil and natural environment, with the smooth water enhancing the reflective effect.

The image features a vast landscape of dense forest with the colors of autumn. The foliage displays various shades of green, orange, and red, indicating the transition of seasons. Above the forest, a dramatic sky is visible, filled with thick, swirling clouds. The clouds are primarily grey with patches of white, and a burst of sunlight breaks through, creating visible rays that illuminate parts of the forest.

Sun lamp #nature #photography #sunset #BlueSkyArtShow #glow #ArtYear #smArtist #SensoryArt #shadow
A tranquil beach scene at sunset shows a vintage-style lamppost in the foreground, perfectly aligned with the setting sun so the sun’s glow appears to light the lamp. The sky is painted in warm tones of gold and soft orange, fading into cooler blues and grays near the top. In the background, a long pier extends into the water leading to a small lighthouse silhouetted against the horizon. Gentle waves shimmer with reflected sunlight, and a couple of distant figures walk along the shore, adding a sense of peaceful solitude to the scene.

Shadows and lines #nature #photography #flowers #BloomScrolling #BNWmacro #ArtYear #smArtist
The image is a close-up black-and-white photograph of a flower. The focus is on the central part of the flower, showing densely packed, textured structures around the center that could be stamens or pollen clusters. Radiating from the center are the petals, which appear elongated and slightly curved. The petals exhibit various shades of gray, creating a subtle contrast that emphasizes their linear texture. The petals have fine lines and striations running along their length, contributing to the image's intricate detail. The composition provides a dramatic, almost abstract perspective of the flower.
