Prestigieuse civilisation du Nubie, héritière culturelle des fameux pharaons noirs de la XXVème dynastie d'Égypte, Méroé prospéra du IIIéme siècle avant J.C.au IVème siècle de notre ère. L'économie de Méroe était basée sur une riche agriculture et sur l'industrie du fer mais surtout sur le commerce caravanier entre Afrique Noire et monde méditerranéen et le commerce des esclaves. Les pyramides de Meroe, beaucoup plus pentues que celles de l'Egypte dont elles perpétuent le modèle, leur sont aussi très postérieures dans le temps

Evening descent from the mountains. The sun is already hiding behind the ridges, throwing the valley into shadow — but the majestic peak still basks in golden light. A fleeting, magical moment between day and night.

Some portraits do not soften themselves for the viewer.
This black-and-white child portrait holds its power in stillness. The face rises quietly from the dark, not bright enough to feel exposed, not hidden enough to disappear. The eyes are the centre of everything. They carry a small gravity, a seriousness that feels almost too old for the moment, yet still unmistakably innocent.
There is no smile here to explain the child away. No colour to distract from the expression. No background story to make the image easier. Just light, shadow, skin, gaze, and the silence around them. The darkness on one side of the frame feels less like empty space and more like the room childhood keeps for itself, private and unreachable.
That is what gives the photograph its quiet force. It does not turn a child into an idea. It simply allows a small person to be present, watchful, unsentimental, and real. In fine-art black-and-white portrait photography, beauty often lives not in what is added, but in what is left alone.
And here, in the dark, a young face holds its ground.
Light Breaking Through
For a brief moment, the clouds opened and the light found its way onto the glacier.
One of those Icelandic scenes that lasts only a few minutes before the weather changes everything again.
Ice, rock, clouds and a little bit of light — more than enough.

Bir Ali is located on the spectacular coast road and it is surrounded by white sand dunes, green rocky mountains and black lava deposits. You can spend your afternoon swimming or relaxing on a white sand beach or spend overnight in beach huts. The surrounding coast is a mixture of volcanic landscape and occasional patches of sand dunes.

We have quite a few Iris in our garden, and most of them now are either blooming or getting ready to bloom. There are many varieties with different combinations of color. Every morning I go outside and look for new bloomers to exploit.
This is one of the individual flowers that were on the plant I brought home yesterday. I also created a black and white version of this image using Nik Software's Siver Efex Pro 2, and you can see that below in the comments.
Lighting stuff: I wanted dramatic, rather than even lighting, so I used my lights accordingly. The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera right, and I used a YN560-III hand held in a Rogue grid to light up the orange "bit" (a technical botanical term) growing from the center of the plant. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other Calla Lily pictures are in my Calla Lilly set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/...
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

The briefest of bright intervals highlights the wall leading to a tree on the horizon as a fierce squall blows in. Vertical pano, 2 hand held shots, not easy in that wind even with the wall to rest on!
Sometimes, when composing a shot, it's a case of "it's behind you!". While up at Sharpitor, composing a shot looking towards Leather Tor and Burrator reservoir, I looked behind me and saw this view looking Northwest over the moor.

Good Stewards of Nature
There’s a particular weight that settles on boys the moment they begin to outgrow the world’s expectations of them. It’s the quiet confusion of wanting to be strong while still learning what strength even means. In his eyes you can see the tug-of-war of adolescence, trying to understand himself while the world keeps trying to define him first.
He isn’t lost, just in the middle of becoming. And in this small, unguarded moment, you glimpse the honesty of a boy learning how to carry both his uncertainty and his courage, hoping that someday he’ll find where he fits, or perhaps build a new place entirely.

Had some fun with a model friend trying to recreate some Audrey Hepburn portraits the other day. This one is my favorite from the day!

Powerful figure in dramatic outfit against rich rose background exuding confidence and allure in evening setting
A strong and striking individual poses gracefully in a sleek black outfit featuring a high slit. The vibrant red roses surround her, enhancing the evening atmosphere.
"Queen of the Roses"
Beneath the hush of an indigo sky,
she stands—
a silhouette carved in midnight silk,
the high slit of her gown
a whisper of movement,
a promise of power.
Around her, roses burn in crimson bloom,
petals like velvet embers
against the cool breath of evening.
Their perfume mingles with the air,
a quiet crown of nature’s making.
Dramatic light spills across her form,
catching the curve of her shoulder,
the poised tilt of her chin—
a portrait of confidence
painted in shadow and flame.
Her gaze holds the night still,
commanding without a word,
each line of her body
a verse in the language of allure.
She is elegance in motion,
feminine energy sharpened to a blade,
a showstopper draped in black,
framed by roses that bow
to her presence.
In this garden of vivid contrasts—
red against black,
soft against strong—
she is both muse and monarch,
the evening’s most
captivating secret.

Broadleys Gate farm, near Newbiggin, Teesdale, lit by a brief break in the dark cloud cover.
Had the opportunity to photograph local Bay Area artist, Amiel " Summer Breeze " Maquilan, today. Unfortunately, the weather today was horrible in the Bay Area with lots of rain. So we kept the shoot indoors.
Summer Breeze is a down to earth musician and a pleasure to photograph. I also had a great time shooting with my brother in law, DreamWorldPhotoArt, today. Thanks to the both of you for a fun afternoon. Make sure to check out his music. This kid is very talented.
