Dark Series
I find that my dark series seems to fit well into the Sliders Sunday vein. The buildings usually look best also.
Happy Sliders Sunday.

It's hard to do justice to these dark and forboding but architecturally beautiful (Paul Merrick) apartments on the point.
A recent family break to Cornwall took us to Newquay and an evening spent on one of the towns many beaches. The tide was heading out and the sky was heavy with a lot of cloud which made for this moody shot of the sea moving in over the sand. Not the nice sunset shot I was after but in the UK you are pretty much at the mercy of the weather and have to take what you are given at the time. I feel I still managed to catch a nice shot though.
A forboding, strange horizontal outcrop looming over Smith Rock's Crooked River. The primordial, primeval natural forms and shapes here fascinated me. It seemed (to me) to be watching out over all it purveyed.
A similar weird, yet cool nature sculpture below.
Enjoy this first week of May.
This is actually an old hydroelectric installation beside Niagra Falls, but the angle from which we were looking at it through the mist made it look dark and forboding. The presence of vehicles with darkened windows contrasted with the abandoned appearance of the installation and presented a rather ominous mood.

I was already wet so another wave into the wellies made no difference , you can always dry and warm up later .

Dark Forboding Sky....
Digging through more of my archives from the last couple of months I found a couple more that I think would look great in my photostream.
Another shot from my excursion to catch the sunrise. This one really has a more somber mood than I would usually post; as it has this ethereal quality that really speaks to the dawn and my effort to capture it.
I must say, I love the dynamic range of this camera; It really frees me up to explore the low light conditions around me. Thank you Nikon…for an excellent, affordable alternative to the mega-pixels and mega-dollar alternatives.
Please let me know what you think in the comments. And thanks for viewing.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,.

The valley was so dramatic with the forboding clouds & dark scenery but still magical as looked at the scene, not a single person to be seen.Decided to leave the house at 3:30 to get tp Glencoe & specifically Glen Etiveto capture the pre-dawn & early morning light.
Just happened to catch this storm cell approaching our place late Wednesday afternoon. It dissipated shortly after this. However, yesterday we had a horrific electrical storm that was extremely loud and scary which didn't look half as interesting......unless you could catch the lightning, which I can never seem to do! Taken with the 14mm Samyang lens and haven't corrected distortion so as not to cut off the cloud.
Forboding, expectant? or just a beautiful soul warmed by the light...this is one of those photoshop as therapy things...maybe I should just take it down...? I'm feeling a little intense these days...

Greater Anglia 317881 arrives under forboding skies at Tottenham Hale with 2S37, the 1415 Bishops Stortford to Stratford. On the rear is 317504. 15/04/2021.
When I saw this scene and it was a foggy dark riverbank I knew it had only one purpose. For me I saw that place which I am sure features in many a nightmare.
The mystery & darkness. That ominous feeling of the unknown and what lies beyond. So I'm thinking I am sure this is that place where nightmares come from for sure!
Sometimes abandonments beg to be explored. There's the curiosity about what might be inside. Seeing how people lived. Maybe discovering why they departed. And finding things they left behind. Other times that zeal for exploration takes a back seat to concern for self preservation. For me that boundary is often the cellar door. Entering an abandoned structure is one thing. Heading down below ground is another, dark, cold, home to who knows what animals...and snakes. In your mind it plays out like a horror film, the stairs collapse or the door slams shut once you are down there and you just know you're not getting out. It's a place where no one can hear you scream. Those thoughts and more entered my mind as I stood before this innocent looking passageway. I chose to remain above ground, in the light.
As the last sliver of daylight bled into the horizon, Peggy's Cove grew quiet—too quiet. The colorful dories bobbed uneasily in the small harbor, their moorings creaking like old bones protesting the coming strain. Above, the sky had turned the color of bruised iron, heavy clouds rolling in low and deliberate from the Atlantic, swallowing the faint glow that once haloed Peggy's Point Lighthouse.
The wind arrived first: a low moan that rose from the rocks, carrying salt and the faint metallic promise of rain. It tugged at the shutters of the weathered houses perched on granite, rattled the single streetlamp until its light flickered like a heartbeat losing rhythm. Waves began to speak louder now, slapping against the ancient boulders with increasing insistence, each one larger, each one hungrier, as if the sea itself were waking from a long, restless sleep.
The most dreaded phrase to hear when I was a kid was, "go pick me a switch". And heaven help you, if you came back with one that was too small. Corporal punishment was all too common back then, but it's just the way we were.

The May weather has been pretty nasty and these rain clouds just about sum it up. 20 minutes later and I got soaked! This is a hand-held 5 shot panorama.
Early in the morning I walked along her hightide line and noticed that something was not right...
Her companion the wind was also restless and there was that forboding tension that arises when the two begin to aspire....

As forboding storm clouds roll in from the west, CSX L303 knocks down the signals at Howell with the 911 leading. CSX has been slowly replacing the remaining searchlights on its Michigan territories, leaving Howell as the last active SA-signal bridge on the entire division. The 1960-install is due to be replaced in the coming months, ending a lifetime of C&O signal legacy on the Plymouth Sub
this is my first use of 1600 speed Fuji film, the photo was taken at midnight with a 20 second exposure. I assume the reflections are from the streetlights against glass?! As everyone knows by now I must get to some Photoshop classes, so this is natural, straight from the camera with a little contrast; also...the house is behind me and the camera.
As you walk along the path, the branches cover you, protecting you from the snow above, like the arms of the many protecting the one, enjoying the beauty of nature.
I captured this image of Castle Crags from Exit 723 on Interstate 5 in Shasta County, California, USA on a very moody day as one storm system was moving out ahead of another moving in.
Castle Crags is a very dramatic large rock formation that stands prominently over the area known as Castella, near Dunsmuir. It provides beautiful scenery for the drive north on Interstate 5 if the skies are clear. The terrain is made up of both sedimentary and igneous rocks (granite) and the prominent features were formed as ancient glaciations carried away looser sediment around the granite plutons that form the spires you now see.
A bleak rural tableau on a wet and raw autumn day. I could not have imagined better conditions for this type of photography. Photos like this have much more impact when the weather and sky conditions harmonize with the subject matter. The wet road really helped seal the deal on this image.
A ride out to Jubilee arch near Devils bridge,Wales,UK.
Gothic arch built over the old turnpike road to Devil's Bridge in 1809-10 for Thomas Johnes of Hafod to celebrate the golden jubilee of King George III in 1810. The idea came from a Gothic arch constructed over the London to Bath road at Park Place, Berkshire, and the design was copied by Johnes' friend George Cumberland in 1806. The builder Charles James of Llanddewi Brefi may have been involved as he is referred to as the 'inventor' of the 'romantic arch' at Hafod.
In the account of the laying of the foundation stone, the design was said to be by an 'eminent architect'. Johnes then held a dinner for over a hundred tenants at the Hafod Arms. The road was then the main road from Aberystwyth to London.
A C20 metal plaque states that arch was erected 1810 for jubilee of George III and restored 1964 by the Forestry Commission, Cardiganshire County Council, and Cardiganshire Antiquarian Society.
Simply a glorious tree against a golden glow in the sky as the sun woke behind the clouds in the distant horizon. A lake gentle glows in the forefront as the subtle light dances on the water. Silhouettes of the bare trees dotted about against this almighty sky.
Some of Sebastian Saltrava's architectural designs in the City of Arts and Sciences can take on an almost ethereal forboding feel. This section of the science buildings with its vast empty staircase resembled an entrance to a spaceship that could have come straight out of Star Trek. I used a black and white conversion to reflect a sense of foreboding, enhancing the stormy sky and letting the blacks dominate.
