Myself, I wondered what they were. Thought they might be close ups of a closed eye...
I see. It is interesting how a close up of something or removing the background can give one a sense of the unexpected.Quote:

That looks like a tiny hand at the bottom of the picture of the leaf.
That quote from Minor White: are there others like that?
There certainly are: http://www.photoquotes.com/showquotes.aspx?id=25Quote:

Its the curve of the road that is brought out and catches my attention. I wonder how the light is produced? It reaches the buildings which are also illuminated.
The streaked light are the cars (this is a long exposure),and there are many street lights to light the buildingsQuote:

It reminds me a bit of the Bay of Rio de Janeiro in it's roundness. But here you don't seem to have those big grey skyscrapers.
It looks like one could walk off the edge of the world in that picture probably because the horizon is rounded and the pier goes right out towards it.
I'm glad the pictures are back. I missed them
They look like ice lolipops on ice castles built by kids.Quote:

This is something you see quite a lot of in winter, or spring-winter. Heather or sometimes trees pushing up through the snow?
They're not pushing through (it's from mid-January this year), the snow has just stuck like that. And yes, this look can get more pronounced as the snow layer starts to diminish and compress.
So no human hand created these mounds. I had some idea of childrem playing in the snow as they play with sand. I hope you have made an album with these studies of snow patterns.
I certainly see how you might think of children doing something like this. There would be a massive amount of footprints, though.Quote:

Actually I meant a book, if there was enough material, but I don´t know if foto books are still in use.
From the filckr serie I prefer Solitude II, maybe because it is the less lonesome. The stalks bear each other company.
Of course I knew you meant a printed album. It will be some time before I'll be getting into printing, but I will get into it, eventually.Quote:

No. II does certainly stand out for being more crowded than the others. Now, as for what you say about the talks bearing each other company, all this is something I don't think I thought of at all when making these photographs, but I don't know if the stalks look like they are any less alone in the crowd. But that's just us reflecting our own associations of being in crowds, I think.
What is it that grows out of the snow, is it new birch, or what? I remember seeing this outside our house, but can't remember what it was earlier in the winter, it could also be heather or soft fruit, like blackcurrents.
To be sure, one can be very lonely in a crowd. As I never saw real snow maybe I didn´t realise before the isolating effect of a coat of snow.Quote:

What season of the year is it? It looks like someone is fishing.
Love these last two. Yours is so calm and soft and dreamy, Tony, and yours captures the eternal mystery of snow, NorthStar.
Early summer.Quote:

Nice red tinge from the early winter ice forming on the lake, and also the sky.
It seems that in Finland you still can distinguish the changes from one season to the other.
In fact your pictures document these changes.
Meanwhile here in São Paulo, Brazil, we have autumn temperatures ranging 3oº- 32º. About 15 years ago these were high summer temperatures. So much for global warming.
Certainly. I don't think you could get a more even distribution of summer, autumn, winter and spring than here, certainly not somewhere as close to the equator as Brazil. We reach 30 ºC a couple of times in a summer, generally. And -30º C about as often in the winter.Quote:

A lot of interesting straight lines in the empty room North Star.
