A candid taken, from my taxi, of a group of construction workers in the back of a truck, in full sun. Marrakesh, two days after the earthquake.

Winter Sea

Going back over images from the last few months I found these taken on New Year's Day just after sunset, at Findhorn on the Moray coast.

Here's an old photo from about this time of year from a local walk.
It's a full colour photo but looks more or less B&W.
The background is so dark because the full sun was on the subject and the rest was in dark shadow.

I really liked that mixture of the soft white feathery flower and the spikey black star shapes in the middle.

A set with gentle pastel colours and a nice relaxed mood

They certainly still had a lot of hard work in front of them and had possibly lost a lot, just two days earlier.
You can see that tiredness and sadness in their expressions and in their slumped shoulders.

Whitney Block in Toronto - one of the Ontario provincial buildings built in 1926 in Goth/Art Deco style still in use.

A very cold, melancholic vibe in these. Nice.

Beautiful shot, yes, the feathery backdrop is a great contrast with those intriguing spidery shapes.

Quite daunting but very stylish too.

This Australian Emerald is the only species I have been able to capture in flight because it occasionally hovers long enough to get focus. But I had never seen it perch. The other day it landed on this little plant right below me.

Nice shot - looks as it has a very wary eye on you...

Great docu shot with vivid colours.

Excellent samples of water and shore.

Spider like intricate plant against fluffy background. Great appeal.

Small but attractive.

Beautiful image. Backlighting is so wonderful, but tricky to get right.

Tricky creatures to photograph. Well done, you nailed the focus perfectly on the eyes!
