Some shadows cast upon my bedroom ceiling.
Captured with iPhone and edited in Snapseed on the iPad.
Have a black and white version I like a lot as well and was torn between which one to post.
Mate said I should post this one as it was more interesting in color, more representative of the actual event.
Maybe I will post the B&W in the future.

The sun rises above the horizon, casting fiery shades of orange and gold across the sky. The restless waves reflect the morning light, creating a powerful and hopeful seascape.
I was mid-nap in a coffin lined with disco ball fragments when someone hit me with a spotlight like I owed them rent. Now I’m squinting through zebra-stripes of illumination, shielding my eyes like I just saw my own tax return.
You! Yeah, you with the flashlight of judgment - I see you. I’m reaching out, not for help, but to offer you a haunted timeshare and maybe a coupon for cursed lasagna.
I’m not here to be subtle. I’m here to be loud, striped, and slightly confusing.
If you shine a light on me, expect interpretive gestures, unsolicited advice, and possibly a tap dance performed entirely in reverse.
Side effects may include:
- Sudden urge to redecorate with cobwebs
- Inexplicable craving for beet salad
- Temporary possession by the spirit of a lounge singer named Carl

As you travel further north and west of Scotland, in particular on Scotland's islands, you will sooner or later find yourself on a road too narrow to pass the vehicle coming the other way towards you. Driving these roads requires thought and concentration. There are usually plenty of passing places (but they can get fewer and further between on more minor roads), and these are usually, but not always, marked with the sign captured on this shot.
The trick on single track roads is to drive with a combination of consideration and assertiveness. In an ideal world, vehicles approaching one another should adjust their speeds so as to meet at a passing place. That way neither waits for the other, and both proceed at best speed. It doesnt always happen like this, but in general, people in highlands are very friendly and tend to behave this way. Extra bonus is to watch those confused tourists that are just getting used to driving on the other site than in their home country so they tend to pick the first passing place, park on the opposite side as they would do in continental Europe and wait, staring like a scared rabbit being caught in headlights (I used to be one of them too, but no more!!).

This is Louisa Livingstone Pop Vinyl figurine, the girl in the cover of Black Sabbath's 1970 debut album, which is said to be the beginning of Heavy Metal! Photo taken for the Crazy Tuesday theme "figurines".
Sassi also enjoyed the sunshine last weekend and wanted to try out a dramatic shot. She nailed it! Look at her beautiful eyes. Hope you have a wonderful day!
he suit is perfectly tailored. the tie is knotted just so. his hands, which could be signing documents or shaking hands, are instead holding a simple blue cloth. he polishes the glass with a concentration reserved for sacred tasks. it is not just cleaning. it is a ritual. a small act of order in a chaotic world. a moment of quiet dedication to a machine, or perhaps, to a memory. we see the action, but the reason remains his own, hidden behind the perfect black.

Yasmine a ce petit air de quelqu’un qui sait très bien ce qu’elle fait… et qui ne compte pas s’excuser. Un peu d’attitude, beaucoup de style, et juste ce qu’il faut d’insolence. Le noir et blanc lui va plutôt bien, non ?
EN Yasmine has that look of someone who knows exactly what she’s doing… and has absolutely no intention of apologizing for it. A little attitude, plenty of style, and just the right amount of cheekiness. Black and white suits her rather well, don’t you think?
I've been sick and housebound for the last couple of days, so perhaps this is the product of a fevered mind...
OK.... I agree about the frame... so let's try it On Black instead.

I was out photographing yesterday and I thought I came home with nothing. The light was bad, there were no interesting subjects, I looked but I saw nothing.
At home I downloaded my photos to my computer and I have never thrown away so much shots from one batch.
From what was left I got some inspiration to create this composition of stones and lines.

Khongor Sand Dunes are the largest and most spectacular sand dunes in Mongolia. Also known as the ‘singing dunes’, they are up to 800 m high, 20 km wide and about 100 km long. Top of the dunes can be climbed and the views of the desert from the top are indescribable.
I was wondering around and enjoying the majestic views of dunes when my eyes spotted this beautiful play of shadow and light with blowing sand over the dunes and with sun shining through the flying sand.

The majestic Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque is probably the most imposing religious and national landmark in Abu Dhabi to date. It is also arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of the contemporary UAE society - and one of the most beautiful in the world - initiated no less by the late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is fondly thought of as the father of UAE.
The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, popularly called Grand Mosque by local residents, is seen as a “globally unifying” landmark from its conception to completion, bringing together designers, features, materials and suppliers from nearly every corner of the globe: Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, Turkey, Iran, China, Greece and the UAE.
The Mosque’s initial architectural design was Moroccan, but it evolved to include many global features, including exterior walls that are of traditional Turkish design. Natural materials were chosen for its design and construction, which include marble, stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics.
You might think that this mosque is hidden somewhere in the middle of the desert but the opposite is the truth. It is located between two main roads leading to Abu Dhabi. I have however taken use of the construction that is still going on there and found a spot with hopefully unusal POV and foreground. We've been also rather lucky for the light as we have got there early morning with light "storm" which created my favorite darker background and beautiful front light.

Lucia Carbines (performing under the stage moniker “Miss A in a Bubble”).
Suspended directly above the gasping crowd inside Spiegelworld’s vintage, velvet-and-mirror Spiegeltent, Australian aerialist and contortionist Lucia Carbines delivers one of Empire’s most striking spectacles. Performing inside and around an aerial acrylic sphere, Carbines bends and twists her body with impossible, fluid grace, effortlessly shifting between hyper-flexible contortion and high-altitude acrobatics. Hovering just feet above the front rows in the intimate venue, the act combines daring physical control with the seductive, vaudevillian edge that defines the production.
Shot from below at night, a beautiful woman in red towers over the frame like a sacred and unsettling presence.
She is not the devil: she is an imagined Madonna, a Red Madonna.
She does not comfort, she does not caress — she looks at humanity with anger.
A silent warning: do whatever you want…
judgment will come. If not here, then beyond.

Wahiba Sands lies in the eastern region of Oman. The sands stretch from north to south 180 kilometres, east to west 80 kilometres, with high dunes, extensive woodlands and an unspoiled coastline. Some of the sand dunes are 100 meters in height. Total land area is approximately 12,000 square kilometres with about 3,000 Bedu of varying tribal origins including Janabah, Mawalik, Hikman, Amr and Wahiba.
Evening conditions in Wahiba sands seem to be tricky for a photographer as it gets rather windy and the sand is blowing everywhere, however at the same time it creates fantastic new opportunities.

I was walking around Wahiba Sand dunes sea, starting to think how many more different desert photos I can take, having recently been in 4 different deserts across Arabia. To my surprise in a minute after this thought, strong wind started to blow, creating fantastic new opportunities.

as the day's curtain draws to a close, portixol is set ablaze with the fiery spectacle of the setting sun. the dramatic sky, painted in strokes of orange and gold, reflects its warm colors on the rippling waters, creating a canvas of light that dances with the rhythm of the waves. this vivid scene at portixol bay not only captures the raw beauty of nature but also the serene end to a day in this enchanting seaside town. the palm trees silhouette against the radiant backdrop, adding a tropical touch to the Mediterranean landscape. it’s a moment where the sky seems to speak in hues of passion and tranquility, promising the return of another beautiful day.
A quiet, intimate moment captured in low light. A gentle shaft of light illuminates her face, bringing out the soft textures and serene expression of peaceful sleep.
"The mystical ambiance of a Gothic cathedral, where stained glass windows paint the stone with celestial hues."
"L'ambiance mystique d'une cathédrale gothique, où les vitraux peignent la pierre de teintes célestes."

Europe - Italy - Italia - Rome - Roma - Pantheon - Former Roman temple - Temple to all gods of Ancient Rome & One of most preserved & influential building of ancient Rome
The Pantheon (from Greek: Πάνθειον, meaning "Every god") is a building in Rome which was originally built as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome, and rebuilt circa 126 AD during Hadrian's reign. The intended degree of inclusiveness of this dedication is debated. The generic term pantheon is now applied to a monument in which illustrious dead are buried. It is one of the best preserved of all Roman buildings. It has been in continuous use throughout its history. The design of the extant building is sometimes credited to Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus, but it is equally likely that the building and the design should be credited to Emperor Hadrian's architects, though not to Hadrian himself as many art scholars once thought. Since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a Roman Catholic church. The Pantheon is the oldest large-scale dome in Rome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).

FR – 2 février 2023 – Budapest, Hongrie
Sous une brusque éclaircie, la façade de Budapest-Keleti se détache sur un ciel d’hiver chargé de neige. Le lendemain, la tempête éclatera plus au nord, en Slovaquie.
Keleti signifie « de l’Est » en hongrois : Budapest-Keleti pályaudvar est la gare de l’Est de Budapest.

EN – February 2, 2023 – Budapest, Hungary
Caught in a sudden burst of sunlight, the façade of Budapest-Keleti stands out against a wintry sky heavy with snow. The following day, the storm would break farther north, over Slovakia.
Keleti means “Eastern” in Hungarian: Budapest-Keleti pályaudvar is quite simply Budapest’s Eastern railway station.
