A Midsummers Dance

Linnaea borealis; eng: twin flower, swe: Linnea.

Read #AltText for image description.

(This image is cropped).

A close-up of a tiny twin flower in black and white. The petals of the flower looks a bit like a bell-shaped dress and a small circular attachement to the stalk, which you could imagine being a head of a small fairy with the petals as a dress. In the background three leaves of the flower is seen, but are a bit out of focus. The rest of the background has both bright sunlit areas (mostly to the right side) and some spots of shadows, and is blurry. The flower is a bit to the right side aswell.

The black-and-white photo shows the metal skeleton of an old industrial hall—empty, raw frames made of beams forming geometric lines and sharp angles. Part of the structure appears weathered by time, with some elements bent or tilted. In the background, a dramatic sky dominates, densely covered with heavy, torn clouds. Sunlight struggles to pierce through their layers, spreading in streaks between dark zones. The entire scene radiates an atmosphere of abandonment, transience, and the beauty found in decay.

A black-and-white photograph depicts a landscape with a slightly leaning utility pole in the foreground, its wire visibly stretched. In the center, there is a small white building with a gabled roof, surrounded by railings that likely run along a canal, though the canal itself is not clearly visible. Behind the building stands a lone bush, followed by a stretch of low vegetation, and finally, a dense forest lining the horizon. The monochrome color palette gives the image a nostalgic, stark atmosphere.

Wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis)

Native plants from the woods. May 2025.

#bloomscrolling #flowers #wildflowers #nativeplants #insects #quebec #macro #photography

Macro photograph of a spherical flower head composed of very small white flowers with curved greenish white petals and five very long stamens. A black insect, looking like a fly but with longer wings, is foraging on it, contrasting with the green and white colours of the plant. Two other spherical flower heads are blurred in the back, as they always come by three with this plant.

A monochromatic vintage-style portrait of a young woman. Her intense gaze draws attention, while the slightly high-angle shot adds depth and drama. Part of her face, including her lips, is gently veiled by a translucent fabric, giving the image an air of mystery. Her hair is medium-length, wavy, styled into loose curls that gracefully fall over her shoulders, enhancing the retro aesthetic of the photograph.

Black-and-white seaside landscape featuring a rocky shoreline. In the foreground, several large, irregularly shaped rocks protrude from the water, their rough, jagged texture visible. The sea is calm, with gentle waves softly blending into the shore. Sunlight reflections create shimmering streaks on the water’s surface, enhancing the contrast between the light and dark areas of the image. In the background, the open expanse of the sea meets the horizon, where a faint coastline adds depth to the composition. The sky is covered in soft, elongated clouds, forming a dynamic yet tranquil backdrop for the entire scene.

A black-and-white photograph depicts a tranquil lake whose water surface reflects the surrounding trees and clouds in the sky. The shoreline is clearly visible, with dense trees growing along the edge, creating a picturesque, symmetrical composition thanks to their reflection in the water. The contrast between the dark trunks and branches and the lighter sky and clouds accentuates the stark atmosphere of the photograph. The clouds mirrored in the lake add depth and mystery, creating the impression that the sky stretches both above and below the water's surface.

The play of light and shadow adds depth to the image, creating a magical, refined atmosphere.

What happens in the kitchen, stay's in the kitchen 😆 🙈

Sorry!!

A very high contrast black and white, vertical image of the part of a kitchen bench with the coffee pot in the background, a spice jar with black pepper in the middle.
Some light liquid has been splattered on the coffee pot, the lid of the spice jar, and the bench. The shape of the spilled liquid in front of the jar looks like a penis. Sorry about that, but true.

A young boy in a gray Adidas hoodie stands in front of a window, looking down. His face has a serious, focused expression. Behind him, a billboard features a young woman in a black-and-white dress—her face radiates a joyful, wide smile, creating a striking contrast with the boy's stern expression.
The composition of the photograph highlights the emotional disparity between the boy's reality and the idealized happiness presented on the billboard, sparking reflection on the contrast between advertising imagery and real human emotions on the street.

Childhood Memories

When I was about 11-12 years old, I subscribed to a comic magazin, The Phantom, drawn by Lee Falk. He fought against the bad guys and lived in a skull cave in the jungle, hidden behind a waterfall together with his wolf/dog, called Devil, which I loved to read.
I thought of that cave when I saw this birch trunk the other day.

This is an in-camera double exposure in black and white.

A vertical close-up of the low part of an old birch tree. The bright part of the bark looks a bit like some sort of skull, with eyes and a big nose/mouth in one. The upper part of the visible tree is knotted and dark, reminding of a rock in texture. On the ground, in front of the tree lays some tiny twigs and grass and in the background to the left side some grass is lit up by a bright sunlight.

This photo shows the perfect stance for taking top-notch pictures. Getting the right wide stance isn't easy, so it's best to practice at home—at least an hour a day. Wishing you successful photography hunts! 📷😎
