Europe - UK - England - Cornwall - North Cornwall - Trebarwith Strand - Trebervedh Sian - The Strand - Vast cliffs, dark caves, fine golden sand and Gull rock, almost reminiscent of a dogs head emerging from Atlantic Ocean during moody evening

This shot is such a nice example that photos can be captured in whatever conditions. It was dark, cold, windy (luckily from opposite direction than the sea), rainy evening... If it was not for the meeting of old friend Adam Burton, that I wanted to see for some time, I would have stayed in my Camelot Castle Hotel, wondering its halls and sitting around the round table pretending to be King Arthur (or least his queen ;)) But because I had extra reason to go out, I went and had a great time with my friend while also taking some photos I'm happy with. Not your typical colorful sunset, but moody seascape shot that I like ;)

beneath the tilted no-parking sign, he walks as if boxed in by invisible limits. a hand to the head—maybe thought, maybe tension. the midday sun burns a path across his skin and the cracked white wall behind him offers no answers. just a command in red and blue: no left, no right.

What Remains by Marqs ☕︎♡

Love doesn’t vanish.

It folds itself into the corners of things -

a scent, a song, the way light hits the floor at 4PM.

Loss is loud at first.

It rearranges the furniture,

leaves the windows open,

scatters the pages you meant to keep.

But love is patient.

It waits in the silence,

in the rituals you didn’t know were rituals

until they were gone.

And when you choose it again -

not because it’s easy,

but because it’s true -

that’s the win.

Not the kind with applause.

The kind with breath.

With grace.

With the quiet knowing:

you loved,

you lost,

and still,

you love.

Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time

No single Northern Lights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. After incredible experience of capturing my first ever timelapse in Iceland last year, I've headed to Frozen land of Arctic Lapland to capture Northern Lights under snowy landscape, which is often difficult to find along the coast. Average temperatures around - 25C dont make it particularly friendly experience, but the one which will always be treasured.

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.

Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Check out these latest one :

► POLAR NIGHT WITH NORTHERN LIGHT & MOON ECLIPSE IN ARCTIC NORWAY

or

► NORTHERN LIGHTS BEYOND ARCTIC CIRCLE, SWEDEN

► ARCTIC NIGHT & NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER FROZEN SWEDEN

I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.

Europe - Scandinavia - Norway - North of the Arctic Circle - Nordland county - Lofoten islands archipelago - Moskenes - Hamnoy - Hamnøy - Picturesque fishing village under fresh cover of snow during winter time - Aurora borealis - Northern light - Produced by solar wind particles guided by Earth's field lines to the top of the atmosphere

the smoke rose the way thoughts rise when no one is listening. he walked and the corridor swallowed everything except the light. some men leave traces. others leave only the direction they were heading.

the weight of stillness by arnds photos

he doesn’t move. not because he can’t — but because there’s power in staying still. in the silence around him, the frame becomes a stage. his gaze cuts sideways, not to escape, but to measure. shadow swells at his feet, the chair holds him like an unspoken crown, and light brushes his face just enough to let you wonder what he sees — or what he’s waiting for.

UK - Scotland - St Monans - Zigzag pier - Unusual Breakwater at Sunset by Lucie Debelkova

* * * * * *

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - Scotland - St Monans - Village in the East Neuk of Fife named after the legendary Saint Monan - Situated approximately 3 miles west of Anstruther, this small community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Path - Breakwater can be found at end of the harbour captured at high tide

As is usual in Scotland, we had our share of really bad weather with lots of rain and gale strong wind, however this particular night was the opposite - clear blue sky, and not a single movement on the sea... I would have wished for bit more dramatic conditions here but I guess we cant always have it all ;) At least the tide was at its highest during sunset, which is a must for this shot. Unfortunately it was mid way between the New Moon and Full Moon meaning that high tide is at its lowest. If you wanna shoot at this location, you need high tide at its highest, that would add another 1m of water which would completely hide the concrete at the bottom.

n the hush between walls and work, she pushes forward. mop in hand, shadow in step, she becomes the rhythm that no one hears but everyone depends on. her silhouette, caught between day and duty, stands taller than most ever notice.

The Wise Emperor by Neokentin

31 8

Encountering this emperor tamarin, I was immediately struck by the dignified presence and almost human-like wisdom in its gaze. That magnificent white mustache gives this small primate such distinctive character - like meeting an elderly philosopher lost in contemplation.

I chose dramatic black and white lighting to emphasize the sculptural quality of this remarkable face and to strip away any distractions from the pure essence of the moment. The low-key approach transforms what could have been a simple animal photograph into something more intimate and portrait-like.

What moved me most was the sense of quiet intelligence I perceived in this tamarin's expression. There's something deeply contemplative about the way it holds itself, as if carrying the wisdom of the rainforest canopy. The contrast between its small stature and profound presence creates a fascinating tension.

My intention was to capture not just the physical beauty of this endangered species, but to reveal the individual personality and dignity that exists within. Sometimes the most powerful wildlife portraits are the quietest ones - moments that remind us of the complex emotional lives of our fellow creatures.

The Thoughtful Lemur by Neokentin

37 5

Observing this ring-tailed lemur in a quiet moment of rest, I was struck by the profound intelligence and contemplative quality in its gaze. There's something deeply moving about the way lemurs observe their world - those bright, expressive eyes seem to hold ancient wisdom from the forests of Madagascar.

I chose dramatic black and white lighting to emphasize the sculptural beauty of this remarkable primate and to create an intimate connection with the viewer. The low-key approach strips away distractions, focusing entirely on the character and emotion visible in those penetrating eyes and gentle expression.

What captivated me was the very human-like quality of this moment - the way this lemur seemed lost in thought, gazing into the distance with what appeared to be quiet reflection. These critically endangered primates carry such dignity and grace, reminding us of our shared evolutionary heritage and our responsibility to protect their fragile world.

My intention was to create more than just a wildlife photograph, but rather a portrait that reveals the individual personality and emotional depth of this remarkable creature, hoping to inspire greater appreciation for these extraordinary animals and their precarious future.

softly blooming through stone by arnds photos

43

in the quiet geometry of golden stone and arched shadow, she walks—wrapped in light, carrying flowers like a question unanswered. the warm breeze from the plaza lifts her dress ever so slightly, as if the street itself exhales. here in palma’s historic heart, the past leans in to watch the present bloom.

Into the Light by Juan Figueirido

51 2

A lone figure steps out of the shadows, framed by stone, silence, and light.

A moment suspended between past and present — where mystery walks hand in hand with destiny.

Black & white doesn’t remove color… it reveals truth.

Whole and Completely Devoted by Dawn Starling

60 1

There are some loves that do not arrive gently. They crash through every wall you built, settle into every silence, and turn even the darkest corners into something warm and alive. The kind of connection that lingers long after the moment passes, wrapping itself around your thoughts like a beautiful curse.

In this space of firelight and shadows, nothing else seemed to matter except the pull between us. Eyes locked, breath stolen, hearts speaking in ways words never could. Some souls find each other and never truly let go again.

There is devotion that is spoken... and then there is devotion that is felt in every glance, every touch, every pause in between. Whole and completely devoted.

Suspended somewhere between desire and destiny, where the rest of the world fades into the dark and only we remain.
