A striking low-angle shot, emphasizing the height and grandeur of the ancient structures against the vast blue sky.
The towering obelisk on the right and the colossal statue fragment on the left create a strong diagonal line, drawing the eye upwards and adding depth to the scene. The framing by the surrounding stone structures further enhances the sense of scale and enclosure. The large weathered stone structures on the left, possibly parts of colossal statues or temple pylons, frame the scene. These ruins hint at the grand scale of the ancient temple complex and the artistry of the period.
The bright overhead sunlight rays create harsh shadows and highlights, visibly flaring from the top center, indicating a direct light source and adding a dramatic effect to the sky. This strong contrast accentuates the textures of the ancient stone.
The obelisk symbolized a connection between the earthly and divine realms.
The composition highlights the monumental scale and enduring presence of these ancient artifacts.

("Bread and butter" is a superstitious blessing or charm, typically said by young couples or friends walking together when they are forced to separate by an obstacle, such as a pole or another person. By saying the phrase, the bad luck of letting something come between them is thought to be averted.)

A swan and the full moon at sunset at Horn Pond in Woburn, MA, in the Boston suburbs. Taken with iPhone 6s and edited in Snapseed. And by the way, taking photos with my phone held out over water like this is why I have a wrist strap on my iPhone case!
I used Instagram's location browse to scope out all the nearby ponds and see which ones had swans living there, and I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris (iOS app) to figure out which ponds would have good sunset angles at this time of year. The combination of those led me to Horn’s Pond, and it was such a perfect spot, I will definitely be going back.
Hmm... This comment might take away a little from the beauty and serenity of the scene, but I keep thinking it's sort of freaky how you can see through the swan's nostril and out the other side.
From a hike a few weeks ago, when there were plenty of fungi growing on various animal droppings along our way....
Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
As always, thank you for your views, faves and comments!

Another shot from the series I took on a rainy day in the port of Imperia on the Italian Riviera. From the rain that fell an hour earlier, many puddles formed, which gave nice reflections when you put the camera on the ground directly behind the puddle.
My first swirly bokeh creation with Helios 44-2, a Russian old lens.
It's a relief that I managed to manipulate this manual focusing lens!
Captured from a unique vantage point, this image showcases a female kestrel, standing against the backdrop of the vast steppe of the Monegros in Spain. The low angle shot, taken from a burrow in the ground, accentuates her towering presence.
With 2000' of continuous welded rail (CWR) in tow, a pair of venerable SD40-2 workhorses put on a nice show as they charge up the grade at Milton, Ontario. Days that start like this tend to be good ones...
This month the theme was chosen by Jette, who has chosen
"Low Angle and 'L' for..." for the challenge. This is my contribution, a low angle shot of a slide at the local playground.
I hope all's as good as it can be Jette, our thoughts are with you.
A juvenile Green Heron displays its characteristic patience, perched elegantly on a single leg. Captured with a shallow depth of field, the bird stands in sharp relief against a soft, lush background of blurred green foliage, creating a beautiful bokeh effect that emphasizes its velvet-green back and rich chestnut neck as well as its developing crown feathers.
I am grateful for your continued support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!
