View On Black

Once again we were headed South on Interstate 5 coming from Reno, NV. The drive is long and boring, so I was looking for something interesting to shoot. As you can see, there is not much out there.

going through some old pictures while i'm laid up and can't shoot and doing some post processing and tweaking...some I haven't posted before and some are reworks

La foto esta hecha con el móvil, a través de la ventanilla del tren que nos conducía a la localidad portuguesa de Elvas en julio de 2020, cuando a primeros de dicho mes se abrieron las fronteras con el país luso y pudimos realizar el primer viaje de este año.

No soy nada partidario de realizar fotos con el móvil, pero en esta ocasión era eso o nada. No me daba tiempo sacar la réflex de su estuche y cada segundo que transcurría me distanciaba de ese paisaje que tenía ante mí.

Desolation Wilderness, Lake Echo to Eagle Fa

 

Desolation Wilderness, Lake Echo to Eagle Falls, two days, about 20 miles

Made in, I believe, Downers Grove Illinois.

 

I pulled into this parking lot to make a photo of something else and was immediately drawn to that fabulous white wall and the blue sky.

Not very interesting I guess, but I like the transition from the ridiculously green floor to the decaying wall.

I love this stretch of road on US 287 between Laramie and Casper, WY. Wide open spaces, blue skies, and strong winds today (around 60 mph).

 

Some resolution loss/distortion as this was taken through the windshield.

An old lonely tractor from my travels..

Romantic Opulence

The skyline looms like a crown of jagged opulence, a symbol of our triumph over the constraints of earth and sky. Towers pierce the heavens, their mirrored skins refracting the dying sunlight into shimmering hues of orange and gold. The couple sits in silence at a table perched above this modern empire.

 

The man, dressed in a jacket that seems more armour than fabric, rests his gaze on her but does not see her. His thoughts are elsewhere, adrift in the city's polished glass and cold steel before them. Each spire reminds him of their victories, the accolades, and the wealth accumulated through relentless ambition. He knows he has lost his connection to the raw simplicity of the lives they once knew.

 

She, poised in a white dress that gleams under the twilight, tilts her head slightly, resting her chin on delicate fingers. Her expression is serene, but her eyes betray the faintest shadow of yearning. She knows she should feel great, but all that surfaces is an expression of muted longing. Could she still recall the scent of wild grass from their first home as the touch of rain fell on land?

 

The trappings of luxury. Crystal glasses, golden accents, and candles that burn with exotic scents. The wine glows amber in their glasses, its richness a hollow metaphor for the lives they’ve sculpted. Their carefully built victories have become the walls of their gilded cage. And yet, they cannot stop. What is the next conquest? They can scent the next achievement. Their ambition has become their lifeblood. As the city hums beneath them, alive with its indifference, the couple silently drink to a future they can no longer define.

Over the weekend @blindcripple and myself shot an adventure race in Kleinmond. It was cold, it was wet, but boy, was it breathtaking!
