Delighted to present a stunning image I photographed of a Japanese fusion dance at Global Village, Dubai, on August 20, 2025. The picture showcases two dancers in graceful, flowing attire, skillfully managing glowing spheres, set against a lively cosmic backdrop with striking blue, pink, and green neon tones. The composition and lighting beautifully emphasize the cultural blend, offering a captivating visual. This shot captures the event’s dynamic spirit and exceptional artistry.
Artistic framing of a magical and fairytale-like place decorated with textiles, hanging ornaments and local artworks creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The bright light and open space beyond the doorway offers a feeling of evasion in space time, plus the relaxing atmosphere with the cat sleeping on the left side.
Shot from Farsha, a traditional lounge cafe nestled on a cliffside the Um Al-Sid Hill.
Captured with a Minolta Dynax 700si on AgfaPhoto APX 100 film, this black-and-white image presents the Reinhold-Maier-Tower in Boertlingen. The green-and-white striped structure, resembling a lighthouse, is a repurposed nearly 100-year-old pendulum tower of the state water supply, now serving as an observation tower. Standing tall against a textured sky, its bold pattern contrasts with the surrounding landscape. A bare tree frames the right side, adding a touch of quiet solitude, while the adjacent building grounds the scene in a sense of place. The image evokes both clarity and nostalgia, blending architectural precision with an atmospheric stillness.
A lone tree stands like a memory etched in the sky, its bare branches spreading into the stillness. The land sleeps beneath a faded winter light, and in the distance, a solitary figure walks—small against the quiet vastness. The horizon is a blur of forgotten time, where earth and sky no longer argue about where one ends.
The Allegory of Fame is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711). Gerard de Lairesse was a renowned painter and art theorist in the 17th century, known for his contributions to Dutch Classicism.
The Allegory of Fame, also known as "Fama", is one of his notable works and depicts the allegorical figure of Fame. In Greek mythology, Fame, also known as Pheme, was the personification of fame and renown. In Roman mythology, she was called Fama.
The painting typically shows a female figure with outstretched wings, symbolizing the widespread reach of her influence and reputation. She is often portrayed with a trumpet or a horn, which she uses to announce the achievements and accomplishments of individuals to the world.
Fame was a popular subject in Renaissance and Baroque art, and artists often depicted her in various poses and contexts to convey different aspects of her influence and power.
In Gerard de Lairesse's version of the Allegory of Fame, he likely imbued the composition with his distinctive style, characterized by a grand and classical aesthetic. His paintings were influenced by classical antiquity, and he was particularly inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance artists, such as Raphael and Michelangelo.
Two very different worlds, two different energies… yet somehow we meet in the middle and it just works.
This is what it looks like when strength softens for love… and love stands strong back. Classic story… modern bond… same magic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8fN4DOgFDw&t=74s
Hi dear Flickr friends and sorry for a bit of absence - sadly am on a laptop with only a slow Internet so must apologize for not being able to send too many comments but I will send lots of faves your way!! This is my quick laptop conversion - strange to be working on laptop now after using 24inches screen! Also got a bit of a sinusitis but all is getting bettrnow. Nice to be with mum and dog and have the garden outside just missing my hubby!
Hope you had a lovely week and you are in the middle of a great sunny weekend!!
Hope they don't mind: firstly taking photos of them and secondly making their environment black&white :D
Finding that moment of stillness in the chaos. The goal here was to smooth out the sheer force of the water, transforming the roaring falls into a quiet, almost painterly study of texture and flow. I converted this image to black and white to strip away the color distractions and emphasize the powerful contrast between the silky, ethereal motion and the solid, rugged landscape. A rewarding day chasing the light and movement.
Mist drifts across the waters as if the island itself is breathing, each exhale a story, each inhale a prayer. The dynasty endures, not in its monuments, but in the quiet that follows them.
The story deepens here, echoing whispers from Eternal Dynasty, where mist and memory entwine.

In a world of speed and precision, one photographer finds stillness in the geometry of the scene. The sleek lines of the Porsche Museum intertwine with the silent observer, capturing a moment where architecture and artistry collide. A stairway becomes a stage, a lens a gateway—perspective is everything.
Winter nights always feel softer on the way home.

Continuing the white color of the snow from yesterday' White Christmas image, this pure white lily positively glows in front of four unopened buds.
Captured last summer from a neighbor's garden.
I gave it a white vignette and then completed the presentation with a color-coordinated frame.
Enjoy!
Light grows wherever we choose to place it.

the futuristic arches of the ciudad de las artes y las ciencias stretch endlessly, their lines carving a rhythm into the light. sunlight spills through the high glass panes, slicing shadows across the stark white interior. a lone figure stands silhouetted, camera raised, dwarfed by the grandeur of santiago calatrava’s architectural vision. it's a scene of contrasts: light and dark, human and structure, simplicity and complexity. the stillness of the moment, caught in black and white, feels both timeless and fleeting—valencia’s spirit encapsulated in a single frame.
A portrait not only of her face, but of the light that chooses to reveal her.

New York City.
Roberto Matta fragments the Ego and represents Eros in a surreal state disordering the senses and the mind ...
The Vertigo of Eros evokes an infinite space that suggests the depths of the psyche.It's an "Inscape" ... exploring the unknown folds of the unconscious through a symbolic language of abstract forms.Crystalline fragments,swirling lines and sharp non-Euclidian angles float in the darkened abyss of unconsciousness,the infinite chaos of the devouring void ...

it grows, it accumulates, it overwhelms.

this is about presence.

We escape reality not to reject it, but to breathe within it. In the rush of obligations and noise, we seek refuge—whether in art, music, nature, or quiet moments that slow time. These escapes offer clarity, untangling thoughts and easing burdens, reminding us that life is more than demands.
Stepping away renews us, giving perspective and space to dream. Reality Escape is the bridge between exhaustion and restoration, where the weight of the world dissolves, if only for a moment. In that pause, we rediscover who we truly are.
A quiet moment of elegance.
Soft textures, subtle light and the intimacy of a simple bow — captured in a way that leaves space for imagination.
Sometimes the smallest details tell the strongest stories.
Some moments don’t ask for attention — they keep it.

a figure ascends into shadow as geometry and reflection collapse into a single plane. shot through the glass facade of the cedoc medical research institute in lisbon, this moment plays with perception, turning a staircase into a graphic meditation on movement, form and light.
a gentle reflection in the water captures this fleeting moment, as the model seems to step into another world. taken in munich’s hofgarten, this photo of lara kreft tells a quiet story, with her thoughts and the autumn light mirrored on the wet ground. the interplay of light, perspective, and high-contrast black and white creates an almost dreamlike scene, as though her reflected half carries the secrets of her mind and surroundings.
A tree that tried, a drink that helps, and light that stays warm anyway.
