The flowing lines of nature contrasted with the sharp angular lines of human constructions.
A home by the river side, Norwich.
The geometric lines and angles of an exterior metal staircase create an intricate pattern. Afternoon sunlight casts vivid shadows on the wall of the industrial unit, adding emphasis to the striking architectural view.
Somewhere between the shadows and the silence, a forgotten resident of the undergrowth has decided that death is no reason to lose a sense of humor. A weathered skull stares directly into the darkness, its hollow eye sockets and crooked grin giving this monochromatic scene an unmistakably macabre personality. With skeletal arms stretched outward across the forest floor, the figure looks as though it has been waiting patiently for someone to wander by and judging by that grin, it has something rather unsettling in mind.
The skull commands the center of the composition, its pale surface standing out against the tangled darkness surrounding it. Fine scratches, mottled textures, and uneven markings give it an aged, timeworn appearance, as though it has spent countless seasons beneath fallen leaves and tangled roots. Its deep, shadow-filled eye sockets seem almost alive in the stark contrast of black and white, while the exposed teeth form a grin that falls somewhere between a wicked smile and a silent warning.
Outstretched on either side, the skeletal arms create a dramatic sense of movement. The long bones extend across the forest floor, ending in bony fingers that reach into the surrounding shadows. Their pale surfaces contrast sharply with the dark soil, scattered twigs, and fragments of vegetation beneath them. The pose gives the figure an almost theatrical quality, as though it has thrown open its arms to welcome an unsuspecting visitor or perhaps to announce that this particular patch of woodland is already occupied.
The background adds another layer of mystery. Tangled roots, fallen branches, dried leaves, and uneven patches of ground create a wonderfully textured setting. Deep shadows gather around the central figure, concealing details and allowing the imagination to fill in what the camera cannot reveal. Two tiny points of reflected light appear in the darkness to the left of the skull, adding an especially eerie touch. Whether they are reflections from the scene or simply small highlights, they contribute to the impression that something else might be lurking just beyond the edge of visibility.
The black-and-white treatment makes the photograph feel like a still from a forgotten horror film. Without color to soften the scene, every highlight becomes more pronounced, every shadow grows deeper, and the skull's expression becomes the unmistakable focal point. The rough textures of the forest floor contrast with the smooth curves of the skull and the angular lines of the bones, creating a composition that feels both unsettling and strangely theatrical.
Yet there is a hint of dark comedy here, too. Those outstretched arms and that permanent grin give the scene the personality of a host who has been waiting far too long for guests to arrive. Perhaps this is the woodland's unofficial gatekeeper, a resident of the shadows who has mastered the art of making an unforgettable first impression.
Perfect for admirers of gothic imagery, Halloween photography, dark storytelling, and monochromatic fine art, this photograph transforms a skeletal figure into a character with an atmosphere all its own. It invites viewers to invent their own story, somewhere between the supernatural and the mischievously macabre. After all, the woods are full of mysteries and not every resident is eager to be disturbed.

Poema: ¡El Arroz!
Con agua y leche se formó el arroz,
con luz del sol se hizo dorado,
cedió su fuerza ante la hoz,
de aquél que lo hubo cultivado.
De grano en grano se formo en montones,
y se apiló en casa del obrero,
se coció al calor de los fogones,
y se vendio para obetener dinero.
Pequeño es,¡Pero da vida,
y ha sido riqueza de naciones!.
Y como el pato, en el agua anida.
LLena de placer los corazones,
con el bello nombre de, ¡comida!
¡Un grano de arroz…muchas ilusiones!

I shoot this fence rather often at night by the light of the pool lights. It never ceases to fascinate and delight me.
Death Valley, California
Occasional rain has carved angular erosion patterns into the cliffs framing the Golden Canyon.
and a leap of faith at the Valley of the Rocks, Devon, UK
A poorly-judged reckless action here will result in serious injury, or worse, a visit from the grim reaper!

This is one of the coolest spiders I have ever seen in Arizona. I photographed these LARGE (just the abdomen itself was about the size of a quarter) spiders at night in the Cave Creek area in Portal, AZ. It's in the genus Araneus and is part of the Orb Weaver family of spiders. The webs are HUGE. We are talking maybe two to three feet across in all directions. But for me, the story is in that wonderful abdomen! It's got these awesome angular protrusions, and I love the way it's this giant knob seemly stuck on the top of the spider. I have never seen a spider like this in AZ (of course I had never been in the Cave Creek area at night). This is two different individuals that were in the same area. I wanted to show some different angles on this species.

Walking around this building, I was drawn to how its angular form caught the light against the dark sky. By positioning myself to capture this specific perspective, I wanted to transform what might be an ordinary structure into something more dramatic and abstract.
The high contrast processing was a deliberate choice to emphasize the geometric quality and the repetitive pattern of the facade elements. I find that stripping away color and context can reveal the pure architectural forms that might otherwise go unnoticed.
What I enjoy about architectural photography is finding these moments where buildings become almost like abstract sculptures. The V-shaped composition creates this sense of upward movement that gives energy to what's actually a static structure.
By isolating just this fragment against the dark background, I wanted to focus attention on the interplay between light and form - how illumination transforms and defines the building's character in ways we might miss when viewing it as a whole.
Geometry of a white house. My internet had crawled to a stop later this afternoon evening. Just loved everyone's geometry photos.
Goneplax rhomboides is a species of crab. It is known by the common name angular crab because of its angular carapace. Although it is also called the square crab, its shell is in fact more trapezoidal than square. This species is also known as the mud-runner because they are able to run away quickly when threatened.
For model year 1964, the styling of Ford's Falcon model changed from its original rounded corners to one in which the corners and edges were more ‘squared off’ or angular. For the following model year of 1965, the body remained the same except for some bright trim details.
This one features a custom painted grille creating an appearance different from the original.
