Description

late afternoon yesterday, an interesting light that seemed to render everything black and white. Well worth a quick zoom

Outstanding image. Dark and moody contrasting with the light in the sky and on the water. Nice work.

This is stunning and more than a little inspirational. I love the starkness and the almost-monochrome elements here. The geology/architecture is quite deliciously enigmatic as well. I'm quite sure that this is a largely mundane place, for somebody, but it has a look of abandonment, desolation, and more than a little bit of an alien planet vibe going on. I love this image!

As Chipka mentioned, very alien.

We had light like this for a while when we were in Bournemouth; it's an interesting phenomenon while it lasts. Beautiful POV in this shot! Love the textures on the seawall.

I was a little disoriented at first, it seemed this was a bird's eye view looking down over farm fields, you know, that checkerboard effect one gets looking down at farm fields from way up high. And then I zoomed and realized it was stones!! An awesome an dramatic image!

Doubtless helped by the shot into the sun on a cloudy day. I love the low angle of this work, it really helps let the road pull you in. Great detailing on the asphalt.

Beautiful capture! The water has a life and variety to it that is fascinating. The water in the foreground goes from ripples that look frozen in time, to clear reflecting glass. A glowing pathway goes through the rocks to the satiny expanse beyond. For that shimmering water to share space with the gritty rocks and stonework of the land is a wonderful contrast in light, motion, and substance. The Cobb has such massive solidity in the shimmering light of the water. I like the curve of it and the geometric features outlined by ice. I remember this feature of Lyme Regis from productions of Jane Austin's 'Persuasion'. I'd love to walk along it (in sturdy, non-slip shoes).
