For the third group, I snowshoed into a wetland yesterday and took some pictures of the snowy hummocks that formed over the top of a creek. In the summer, this is a leafy place; a swampy maze of rocks, hemlock, maples and birch.
In the pictures, you’ll notice that the shadows are deeper than in my previous two posts. I wanted to remain faithful to what I saw: the curving shade of snowy undulations; mid-winter scenes laced with the shadows of branches and twigs.
Human-like curves and shapes, reminiscent of nude photography.
That, for sure. Whenever I encounter that in nature I consider it an opportunity for insight
Splendid curves, John, and extraordinary perspectives. After a first try to analyze it, I just enjoy the pure beauty of what I see not regarding any context.
Thanks Ule. I realized they had little to no context, so your reaction is perfect.
*At the last minute, I decided to include the 2nd image down on the right because it had some perspective and therefore, just a bit more context. I also included it because it bore an uncanny resemblance to a scene in Tarkovsky’s 1979 film “Stalker.” (Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a link for that scene that didn’t involve selling posters, but you can quickly pull it up with a search)
Thank you for the hint, John.

Big thanks Philip 🔷
Enjoy the weekend…
Hi John and you are welcome! Enjoy the weekend, too…😊⭐️😊
Brilliant; photography in its purest form. 👌✋
Big thanks, Harrie 🔷
Wow, you really rolled with it! (I couldn’t help saying that). I immediately think of Harry Callahan. They’re utterly gorgeous. I love that word, “hummocks” too.
In the second photo, the contrast between the blurred shadows in the foreground and those sharply focused twigs is great. I like the way the little stick in the upper left of the third photo pops into view in the next one. The last is like a roller coaster ride, whoaaa!
Happy the pictures speak to you, Lynn. Thanks 🔷
