Well it is my first attempt to stack a dozen shots to get the focus down the neck, so it is hit and miss, should have went with more.
sometimes a city reveals its true proportions only from the ground. the pavement leads the way. the grid counts its windows. and somewhere between the concrete and the glass, a single figure insists on movement.
one walks the line as if it were a rope. one runs because the train does not wait. the station holds both.
Adult Bald Eagle flying straight on with a just caught fish
This photograph was taken at the Conowingo Dam, Maryland. The best place to photograph wintering Bald Eagles on the East Coast, USA. If you need help improving your photography there, make sure to check out my guide: www.greggard.com/location-guides/bald-eagles-conowingo-da...

Since the dawn of time, humanity has harbored an undeniable yearning to reach the heavens and touch the sky. Whether through modern space exploration or medieval engineering, that deep-seated desire remains the same.
Like a monumental rocket fueled by centuries of faith and history, the massive tower of the Gothic Church of SS. Peter and Paul in Reszel stands as an early testament to this eternal ambition. Photographed from a stark, low angle and stripped of color, this 14th-century Warmian giant transforms into a "Gothic Cosmodrome." The repeating vertical blends and window strips resemble the structural reinforcement of a modern spacecraft on its launchpad, ready to pierce the heavy, dramatic clouds above. It is a stunning bridge between eras, showing that our urge to look upward and transcend the earth has never changed.
Location: Church of SS. Peter and Paul, Reszel, Warmia, Poland
Crouched down in the water in Pucks Glen I was nicely sheltered from Storm Dennis, and while there grabbed this shot of what I call "The Sometimes Waterfall". I call it that because it is often little more than a dribble, whilst other days can be more dramatic.
Undisturbed by the hum of 710 prime movers reverberating across the vast countryside near Swalwell, Alberta, songbirds rest on the fence posts and abandoned codeline wires at Mile 72 of Canadian National’s Three Hills Subdivision, as a pair of EMD SD75Is crest the grade with train no. 442 bound for Calgary.
Shooting in extreme low angle perspective at one of the Bibliothèque nationale de France towers, I wanted to capture the dizzying verticality and geometric power of this iconic architecture.
Black and white allows me to emphasize the lines, reflections, and symmetry of the glass facades, creating a visual tension between order and infinity.
My intention is to transform the building into an abstract graphic sculpture, where the eye gets lost in layers of glass and metal converging toward the sky.
This image celebrates contemporary architectural boldness and invites viewers to contemplate the formal beauty of urban structures from an unusual and contemplative angle.
In the spring
at the end of the day
you should smell like dirt.

Hope everyone's doing good :) Trying to Catch Up ❤
Thank you all so much for your comments, awards, faves and invites.
Have a lovely week!
Happy Halloween! This towering skeleton loomed over a neighborhood yard, glowing green with a tiny skeleton dangling from one hand. Shooting from a low angle made him look even taller, with a magnolia branch framing the right side and a dark house behind him.
This is a real decoration photographed with my iPhone 17 Pro Max. I edited it heavily in Luminar, with deep shadows, a strong green glow, and a starry sky with aurora-style color added for extra atmosphere. The skeleton and the yard are exactly as I found them.
Today is the Earth's equinox, which means it's the beginning of Spring on the northern hemisphere of the Earth and the beginning of Fall on the southern one. Being at the South Pole this also means sunset.
the square is round. the tourists walk it once. she walks it every day. two poles, one step, and then the next. valencia, 2026
New life emerging in the deep woods. A beautiful moment of natural backlighting illuminating a young sapling against the dark forest floor.
深い森の中で芽吹く、新しい命。暗い林床を背景に、美しい逆光が若葉を引き立てる瞬間です
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper.
Watching this turnstone pick at mussel shells on the beach provided the above ear-worm. Thankfully it's a great tune.
she walks past them. they sit. her foot lifts off the floor. the floor holds her shadow for a second, then lets it go.
I was drawn to the contrast between the intricate dark burner, the shifting patterns of smoke and the geometry of the roof above.
I took this same view of Buttermere Church a few years ago using my then lightweight M4/3 gear, this time it was my Canon R8 and the diminutive RF28mm pancake lens, which is just as light and compact.
Another shot of Cromer Pier, taken a couple of days after my earlier image. This time we actually had some bright sun, rather than the moody conditions in that earlier shot.

A macro photograph demonstrating the dried inflorescence structure of a giant hogweed captured from a low-angle perspective against a cool blue sky. The visual composition relies on the complex, radial network of branching stems that spread outward from the main stalk, creating a geometric pattern across the frame. The selective focus allows the lower elements to dissolve into a smooth blur, drawing the eye upward into the clean, graphic lines of the skeletal plant architecture under soft twilight.
This frame was shot on a vintage Olympus-35 SP rangefinder camera equipped with an Olympus G.Zuiko 42mm f/1.7 lens. The photograph was captured on Kodak Ektachrome 100 35mm color reversal slide film, which naturally emphasized the intense, deep azure and violet-blue tones of the evening sky. The camera's center-weighted metering system accurately balanced the exposure between the dense shadows of the foreground stems and the soft background light gradient, preserving the natural micro-textures of the wintering Heracleum skeleton.

the rain has passed. the courtyard is wet. in the puddle, the world is inverted. clear, and perfect. a figure walks. a single step. it connects the two worlds, the one above and the one below. for a moment, the symmetry is broken. then it is gone.
