Harpa, Reykjavik

Reykjavik, Iceland 🇮🇸

#photography #originalcontent #architecture #blackandwhite #monochrome #Iceland #Reykjavik #Travel #Iceland
The great glass walls of Reykjavik's renowned concert hall, Harpa are like stacked ice cubes. The interior is very bright, even for the limited daylight hours when this was taken in February. The building offers many places to view the surroundings of hangout in places like these platforms along the stairs.

I'm not a botanist but I'm pretty sure this is a flower of some type.

Day 4 - #ArtAdventCalendar

cold winter days in the forest, prairie, pond (further down the path), and marsh; tiny snowflakes glisten in the winter sun as it tries to shine through the clouds ❄️

quiet minimalism, elegance in nature
black and white photo of a scrub forest - smaller forest trees, along with prairie, marsh, and (further down the path) a pond. the winter sun is trying to shine through snow clouds, the small flakes glistening like tiny confetti; large rocks rest in contrast in the white snow

Castle Campbell in central #Scotland, originally known as Castle Glume, dates back to the early 1400s. The windows in this old staircase looked to be of a more modern vintage 😀

#photography #travel #monochrome #blackandwhite #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWindows #Castle
High-contrast black and white photograph of a dark, stone spiral staircase inside the tower of a castle. Two tall, narrow windows with multiple glass panes are visible above the steps, flooding the rough-hewn stone walls with bright light. A dark metal handrail runs diagonally across the frame, dividing the deep shadow in the foreground from the illuminated stonework above the steps.

New music from Glasgow - Clay Rings with "Blue-Boy's Dream". A kind of Spanish influenced alt rock grunge surf band type thing. Pretty cool!

I took this a couple hours ago. I thought it was pretty, however the focus could be better.

Resilience & Regeneration - The promise of a new beginning
Close-up macro photograph of the open seed pods of a plant, likely a species of Euonymus (Spindle Tree). Against a deeply blurred, dark green and brown background (bokeh), a cluster of four brilliant, pearl-white seeds is visible, emerging from the cracked, dried brown capsules on a thin, woody branch. A second cluster of two white, un-opened seeds hangs above and to the left.

I dropped my phone in the bath Monday evening. Switched from iPhone to Pixel 10 just for something new. Wanted to try the camera and editing software. It seemed to turn out okay. The B&W was for fun

Highly detailed black and white close-up image showing dense clusters of shelf-like oyster mushrooms growing within a deep, narrow, vertical fissure in a rough-barked tree trunk. The mushrooms vary in size, from tiny nubs lining the left edge to large, multi-layered caps at the bottom that look like ruffled fans. The deep, dark shadow of the tree cavity contrasts sharply with the lighter caps and the textured bark. Taken in the Big Thicket national Park.

From an opening in the forest a glimpse of an autumnal colours surrounding a small body of water. Golden leaves lend colour to a gloomy day contrasting vibrantly with the grey sky

If you like The Cure, be sure to check this out. Sounds a lot like their early work.

Even in decay, the light remembers.

A close-up photo of a decaying Sweetgum leaf lying on the forest floor. The leaf has a pale blue, almost metallic sheen, with golden veins and cracked mosaic-like textures across the surface. It sits in the center of the frame surrounded by dark brown bark, wood chips, and soil, creating a natural contrast between the cool tones of the leaf and the warm, earthy textures around it. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the delicate details without harsh shadows.

A landscape photograph featuring a rushing river flowing over large, dark boulders within a dense forest. The water is captured with a long exposure, giving it a smooth, silky texture as it cascades around the stones. Large, gnarled tree branches covered in moss arch over the top of the frame, creating a natural tunnel. In the background, trees display autumn foliage with leaves turning shades of yellow, gold, and green.
