Amazing. What seven or eight petals can't do for the color #pink and soft backlight... A gift from Mother Nature!

#Stunday #Photography #StormHour #TheWildImages #nature

A square photo of a flower. This is taken from the back, against the light. About six pink petals are visible, and - on the right - a star-shaped heart. Depending on the light and overlap, the pink is shown in different shades.

#Stunday #PhotoHour #thewildimages #Photography

A photo of the Papilio Machaon, one of the largest European butterflies. The specimen in the photo had an estimated wingspan of 7 to 8 centimeters. This butterfly has a balanced, mainly black/beige pattern. At the bottom edge, there are 16 blue dots in a semi-circle, combined with red/brown dots in the middle. The photo was taken at the edge of a forest path in North Samos, Greece)-

An empty store space. Well, empty? And that light? There, in the back, through that glass door? It draws lines, creates contrasts, provides different shades of gray, and... fills the space.

#BlueSkyArtShow #PhotoHour #thewildimages #photography #samos #urban #street

A standing photo of an empty store space. In the middle, a double door, with each door having 12 small panes. Light falls through the panes onto the polished stone floor in front of it. The floor, wall, and ceiling to the left of the door are bare. To the right of it, there is a pillar, among other things. The photo appears to be black and white, but was taken in color and not edited further.

'Dutch Angle, was ist das?', habe ich mich diese Woche schon gefragt. Und ich bin doch Niederländer... Jetzt weiß ich es. Danke für diese bildhafte Erklärung! Wieder was gelernt.

#FensterFreitag #VensterVrijdag #WindowFriday #PhotoHour #thewildimages #photography

A square photo of two windows in the Archaeological Museum of Vathy (GR). These are located in the stairwell of the museum's old part. They are tall standing windows with yellow roller blinds in front of them. The metal finish of the windows is visible due to the sunlight shining through them.

"Welcome, take a seat!", the chair said. "Thanks," said the shadow, "I'm already sitting."

„Willkommen, nehmen Sie Platz!“, sagte der Stuhl. „Danke“, sagte der Schatten, „ich sitze schon.“

A standing photo with a dark brown wooden chair on the left against a white wall. Only two-thirds of the chair is visible. On the wall behind and next to the chair, her shadow can be seen.

You know where you start, but not where you end. Except that you go to the light. A #staircase in #Aachen #Cathedral (Germany)

Du weißt, wo du anfängst, aber nicht, wo du endest. Außer dass du zum Licht gehst. Eine #Treppe im Dom von Aachen (Deutschland)

#photography #thewildimages #PhotoHour

A standing photo of a staircase, taken from below. The stairs curve and disappear from view at the top. At that point, the staircase is illuminated from the left by an arched window. The staircase is located in Aachen Cathedral (Germany).

#longlonghandle.bsky.social Thanks for re-posting this photo, Andy. I appreciate it!

They complement each other beautifully: the photo and the small story that goes with it. Thank you!

A photograph depicts a precise moment in time that will never repeat exactly again.

A medium for capturing our reality, to be revisited by our future selves.

A photographers purpose is to capture a record of what was.

A photographers option is to share that record with others.

Color photo of beams of light impacting the lens and sensor of the camera.

Fascinating. Today #BlueSkyArtShow asks for photos of #Sideways. At the same time, another program shows this photo from today, July 5, 17 years ago. It shows a side valley in Niederthai (A). This is also the image that often comes to mind when I do a mountain meditation...

#Photography #PhotoHour

A landscape photo of a side valley near the Austrian town of Niederthai, not far from Imst in Tyrol. It shows an unspoiled landscape with a winding stream, meadows, rhododendron, and snow-covered mountains in the background. (Archive photo 2008-07-05)

"That photo is 3D!" How many times have I seen this photo? The window itself is out of focus. Through the broken pane, you can see goods in the hall. Now I notice that the green surroundings behind me are reflected in the windows...

#FensterFreitag #VensterVrijdag #WindowFriday #Photography #urban

A photo of the lower part of a tall factory window, lying down. This is located at the Hemburg complex in Zaandam (Netherlands). The left part of the window is broken. Through the gap, large, yellow insulation packages can be seen, stored in the hallway behind. The right part reflects the green bush behind the photographer, just like the remaining glass on the left side.

#FotoVorschlag Farbe: grün / Color: green

Viele graue Haustüren. Außer dieser, in grün. Und mit 3 Affen. "Pssst... hören, sehen und schweigen."

Many gray front doors. Except this one, in green. And with 3 monkeys. "Pssst... hear, see and be silent."

#Photography #TheWildImages #PhotoHour #urban

A photo of a green front door of an apartment building. On the left is part of the doorbells, on the right is written in chalk on the wall. A striking element on this door is three square bronze heads of monkeys that represent the proverb "hear, see and be silent."

#Photography #PhotoHour

Has someone forgotten their boat?
