The boulders boast of battles won,
Their scars aglow beneath the sun.
The clouds, dramatic, steal the show,
With cotton swirls and golden glow.

#photography
A sweeping mountain landscape captured during sunset, with dramatic lighting and vivid colors that evoke a sense of awe and grandeur. The foreground features rugged, angular terrain composed of large boulders and steep rocky slopes, their surfaces textured and shadowed by the low angle of the sun. The rocks appear weathered and fractured, suggesting a harsh and ancient environment. Midground ridges rise and fall in layered succession, each one slightly more faded than the last, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. These ridges are tinged with subtle hues of purple and blue, contrasting with the warm tones of the sky. In the background, distant peaks stretch toward the horizon, softened by haze and light, reinforcing the vastness of the scene. Above, the sky is ablaze with color, transitioning from deep orange and coral near the horizon to cooler pinks and blues higher up. A massive, illuminated cloud formation dominates the upper portion of the image, its edges glowing with sunlight and its volume adding drama to the composition. The interplay of light and shadow across the terrain and sky creates a dynamic and emotionally resonant visual experience, suggesting both the power and serenity of nature.

A house that sleeps beneath the trees,
Its dreams are shaped by winter’s breeze.
The sky above, a swirling spell,
That guards the place where silence fell.

#photography
A two-story house stands quietly in the center of the frame, surrounded by tall, leafless trees that stretch upward like skeletal sentinels. The house appears aged and possibly abandoned, with muted siding and darkened windows that reflect no light. Its roofline is simple, and the structure is partially obscured by the bare branches, which add a sense of entanglement and isolation. The ground is not clearly visible, but the absence of foliage suggests a late autumn or early winter setting. Above the house, the sky is filled with dramatic, streaked clouds or contrails that crisscross in chaotic patterns, creating a sense of tension and unease. The entire scene is cast in a greenish tint, lending an eerie, surreal quality to the image. The lighting is dim and moody, with no direct sunlight, enhancing the impression of dusk or an overcast day. The atmosphere evokes feelings of mystery, solitude, and quiet foreboding, as if the house holds secrets or memories long forgotten. The composition draws the viewer’s eye upward and outward, emphasizing both the isolation of the structure and the vastness of the sky above.

A fallen trunk, a fungal flare,
That brightens up the woodland air.
It doesn’t roam, it doesn’t flee,
But rests upon a fallen tree.

Bright shelves of chicken of the woods burst from a fallen trunk, glowing orange against the forest floor’s quiet decay.

The bricks are old, they’ve seen it all
Each shadow cast, each midnight call
Yet still they hold their breath and stare
At what might knock, or not be there

A smear of motion, rust and light,
Slides past the trees without a fight.
The snow mound listens, still and pale,
To stories told by wind and rail.

A freight train dreams itself into a red ribbon, gliding past ghost trees and moon hush, while the field whispers secrets to the reeds.
