A tranquil black-and-white analog photograph capturing a misty rural landscape. The scene evokes a sense of mystery and solitude. Shot on APX 100 / Fomapan film with a Minolta Dynax 700si, the image is unedited, highlighting the timeless beauty of analog photography.
(I upped the camera's ISO setting for this shot.)
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.
After my venture into analog photography with the Praktica camera, I picked up a Minolta Dynax 700si for next to nothing. Using APX 100 / Fomapan film, I managed to capture some pleasant shots. The image is completely unedited.
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.
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!!
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

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.
Winter nights always feel softer on the way home.

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.

Continuing the white color of the snow from yesterday' White Christmas image, this pure white lily positively glows in front of four unopened buds.

The Vertigo of Eros - 1944 - Roberto Matta ( 1911-2002 )
Oil on canvas - 195.6 x 251.5 cm. - Museum of Modern Art
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 ...
"There is always some madness in love,but there is also always some reason in madness.” F.Nietzsche ...

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.
The splendid Pretoria Fountain we admire in this photo has an incredible and daring history that few people know completely. This monumental work of art was not born in Sicily; instead, it was sculpted in Florence back in fifteen fifty-four by the sculptor Francesco Camillani to decorate the lavish private garden of a Spanish nobleman, Don Luigi di Toledo. Years later, finding himself in deep financial trouble and drowning in debt, the nobleman decided to put his family jewel up for sale. It was then, in fifteen seventy-three, that the Senate of Palermo decided to make a wild and memorable purchase, buying the fountain for an astronomical sum that almost ruined the city's finances. To bring it to Sicily, the artwork was completely dismantled into six hundred and forty-four pieces of marble, loaded onto several ships, and sent by sea. When it arrived in Palermo, to successfully reassemble it and make it fit inside the square, it was even necessary to tear down some low-income housing in the area. Once put back together in all its majesty, the fountain immediately caused a massive public stir due to its forty-eight imposing statues of pagan deities, all completely naked. Since it was placed right in front of the windows of the cloistered Monastery of Santa Caterina, a legend arose that the nuns, scandalized by such a brazen and close-up display of naked bodies, would sneak out in the dead of night armed with hammers to castrate the statues or break off their noses in a desperate attempt to erase that offense to decency. It is from this historic and ironic clash between the sacredness of the convent and the pagan sensuality of the marble that the people christened this place forever as the Square of Shame, a name that even today unites in a single shot the grandeur of Florentine art, the wild spending of rulers, and the ever-present, irreverent Palermitan irony.
A portrait not only of her face, but of the light that chooses to reveal her.

Looking at this framing, you can feel all the vertigo and the genius of knowing how to look beyond the monumental to find humanity. Up there, on the golden stone crests of Palermo Cathedral, the visitors turn into tiny, dark silhouettes, like ants lined up on the roof of history. Beneath them stands the heavy majesty of Arab-Norman stone with its perfect carvings that defy centuries, while above opens a wall of flat, clear blue sky that erases any spatial reference. There is a subtle and marvelous irony in this visual composition that completely resizes our presence, as all the importance we give ourselves down here on earth vanishes as soon as we find ourselves suspended on the edge of the past, reduced to mere passing shadows. Street photography performs its most beautiful miracle here, pulling real life out of the conventional tourist context to give us a graphic, intimate, and almost surreal vision of our perennial search for a higher perspective on the world.
Some moments don’t ask for attention — they keep it.

through the round embrace of shadow, a palm stands like a cathedral spire against the pale sky of palma, while a lone figure drifts beneath its arching leaves, a quiet witness to the poetry of summer’s stillness
Isolated against the sharp and absolute blue of the sky, the red domes of San Giovanni degli Eremiti reveal the secret of Palermo's deepest monumental identity. This is not a simple decorative choice, but the ancient application of a precise sacred geometry imported by Arabic craftsmen and converted by Norman rulers in the twelfth century. In the Islamic building tradition of the Qubba, the structure hides a specific cosmic symbolism: the squared, cubic body of the tower below represents the Earth, with its four corners and material solidity, while the hemispherical dome above represents the immaterial perfection of the Sky and the celestial sphere. The geometric transition from square to circle, visible in the corner joints of the stone, symbolizes the mystical union between the human and the divine, between dust and spirit. There is an extraordinary paradox in this minimalist visual composition, as this monument, despite being a Roman Catholic church, speaks the mathematical and architectural language of Fatimid mosques. Street photography, by cutting out the chaos of contemporary traffic, isolates this geometric purity and returns it to the world in its most authentic truth. The shot documents the persistence of an Arabic Palermo that has never vanished, but continues to sign the city's horizon with the regularity of its circles and the warmth of its stone.
Holiday spirit, selectively applied.

Sometimes the world fits into the palm of your hand.
A quiet moment by the sea, where light, color and perspective come together in a single frame.
Through the lensball, reality shifts — the horizon turns, the water glows, and a familiar place becomes something new.
A small reminder that perspective changes everything.

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.
