Thanks for reading! 🙋‍♀️💕

I was dreaming about colors and black and white last night. I have an active imagination even sleeping. (I even created this phrase in my dream but it doesn't have a lot of sense for me."Nothing mourns colors like the absence of light." I was curious about the origin of colors and the phrase and searched online. (Didn't find the phrase) This is what I found about the complexity of colors and black and white.

Hermannus Boerhaave (1668-1738), great naturalist and director of the Hortus of Leiden, called this plant (1727) by a now disused name: Granadilla. His personal motto was 'Simplex sigillum veri', something like 'Simplicity is the hallmark of truth'. What he would have thought of the complicated symbolism of Jesuits in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with respect to this Passionflower, I don't know. It's called 'Passionflower' because in its flowering could be seen by the faithful the instruments of Jesus' Passion: the nails, the pillar, the whips and of course the triune pistil.

we recently camped in a wilderness area, where we canoed to our campsite. leaves fell from trees and landed in the water. i found this glowing leaf that appeared to be crying. life is complex. we hold many things in our hearts: grief and gratitude; anxiety and hope; dark and light; tears and laughter.

A complex autumnal scene taken on a damp grey morning stroll through Hillock Wood. I had to wait for the wind to die down before taking the shot as the branches were moving about a lot and I didn't have a lot of light, but it represents what I saw.

Who's Next is the fifth studio album by English rock band The Who. It developed from the aborted Lifehouse project, a multi-media rock opera written by the group's guitarist Pete Townshend as a follow-up to the band's 1969 album Tommy. The project was cancelled owing to its complexity (...) but the group salvaged some of the songs, without the connecting story elements, to release as their next album.

Who's Next was an immediate success when it was released on 14 August 1971.

One of my all time favorite albums.

Happy 50th anniversary!

(about Won't Get Fooled Again) "Townshend described the song as one "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better than no cause". He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you expect to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything".

(From Wikipedia)

"We'll be fighting in the streets

With our children at our feet

And the morals that they worship will be gone

And the men who spurred us on

Sit in judgement of all wrong

They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution

Take a bow for the new revolution

Smile and grin at the change all around

Pick up my guitar and play

Just like yesterday

Then I'll get on my knees and pray

We don't get fooled again..." youtu.be/UDfAdHBtK_Q

oh, what a tragedy

Swinging back from the ornate complexity of the "Brocade" series and into simpler statements in both colour and composition. Another effort in finding new ways to give further expression to the Pano-Sabotage medium.

This series of 5 images was inspired by a comment made by Skagitrenee who said something like "I'd like to see you work in a more monochromatic way, with reduced colours". I had already been thinking that my next step would be simpler but Renee's comment clinched it for me.

This image, and the series is dedicated to her.

As I worked I also incorporated the use of "Gaussian Blur" for it's "atmospheric" potential, taking the crisp edges of the "Brocades" and softening them up in veils of evanescent, "cloud-like" light. In order to keep these from becoming some form of visual vichysoisse though I made sure to contrast part of the image with sharper forms in definition.

Shot in Colfax, Illinois population 979. Cropped to 5:4 from 3:2.

Taken overlooking The Hangings at Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire. There was a lot to take in looking down into this valley and I couldn't work out to go wide or try and focus on individual structures, so I thought sod it and went the middle ground. Lots of characters jostling for space on the hillside with the sun making its presence felt at the top of the shot trying to burn off what mist it could find!

I am in Kuala Lumpur again this week, and guess what, I went to shoot the Petronas Towers again. It's a permanent quest to find new angles...For this one, I wanted a very geometric composition. The camera was on the non extended tripod, parallel to the ground. Took several shots (impossible to look in the viewfinder!), by slightly rotating the camera, checked the results on the LCD until I got the correct framing. Then I fired the seven auto bracketed shots.

Technique used: Smart Objects mixed with Digital Blending/Layer Masking. 7 exposures used. This is not a tone mapped HDR. I am pretty sure that tone mapping won't give me those color tones.

Spring woods.

This was taken in March at a bird reserve in Cambridge. I just love the complex tracery of the branches.

For the Crazy Tuesday group's Silhouette theme.

Silhouette is a word I struggle to spell. Why not write it silohoot? I know it's French, but just remember Agincourt OK? [Our hapless commentator ducks and runs...]

Converted to B&W and toned for my 100x challenge...

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Crazy Tuesday and 100x. :)))
