I think this may be called minimalism. I have a curiosity NS, how does your landscape appear in summer? Is it as lonely and misterious as in winter?
There is a minimalist streak to the image, definitely.Quote:

Love the (pine?) forest with the sprinkling of orange trees. That's how it looks here as well.
Thank you. Yes, they're pines - with the odd spruce among them. The orange trees are birch.
This strikes me as a very sexual picture, NS. Did you have the same thought as its creator, or am I just being weird and inappropriate again?Quote:

The sun is really nice in this. I am intrigued by the reflection in the last one.
Love this. My experience is that they are quite shy in north america.Quote:

Meanwhile, something newer:

I can't decide if the glass is half full or half empty. :lol:Quote:

Enjoying the posts.
Tony's phone reminded me of a B&W photo I snapped of a long abandoned gas pump standing in a field of grass. A sign on the side of the pump read "Contains Lead". How times have changed.
North Star winter archive is a welcome sight as the temps here are getting close to 100
TC, did I ever tell you I like wild turkey?
No, you didn't. I mentioned earlier that I used to like it, till I found it dun make me sick. But I'll pass your praise on to my own wild turkeys next time I see them.Quote:

Thank you, Danik. Yes, printing is something I will need to start doing at some point in the future, and all that other stuff.Quote:

Looks like the rain has eased off...?
I don't quite follow you, Dreamwoven, care to elaborate on that?Quote:

My association with your work about the birchwoods...
I love nature a lot more than organisation... Even more than
mankind, mother nature's rules will cut humanity down. God's will and nature's will
are equal and the same thing at the end of societies... I pray and probably chant for nature's strongest rise of rage...
Ah yes, of course.Quote:

Thank you, North Star.
At a glance, pantheism does look quite agreeable to me. In the end, I don't really see any point in constructing systems of belief for the metaphysical matters that science doesn't have definite answers for. I'd rather enjoy - and deal with - what there is than think too much about the unanswerable questions.

Are they still the same water drops, NS? What made them look like small planets in a sky?
If not the same drops, very similar ones. I assume you are referring to the blots created by the light reflected from the out-of-focus drops.
I was walking down a trail today and looking at things like this:
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...e/Path%201.jpg
And because the sun was getting very bright and I was under a tree, I took this:
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...cd6cb61e8e.jpg
And this:
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...hadows%202.jpg
And I now wonder if I like the shadows on the ground better.
In all three pictures, the contrast between the shadow and the light make the images. Very nice, YesNo.
Shadows and light, nothing is much more interesting to photograph.
Thread duty - an image from May last year, I did some cropping on the image now:

The black and white contrast helps the shapes stand out. I like those ferns.
The last in this series for now:

Yes, the waterdrops of the glass.Quote:
