Dale offers the theme “a summer walk in the sunshine” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
These were taken on walks through the forest preserves in northeastern Illinois.
In the first photo there’s an understory of small maples that the photo didn’t emphasize as much as my memory does. In the last photo I was amazed by the shadows cast of those particular leaves.
Dale offers the theme “focusing on composition” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I see composition as a harmony between overall elements although I am not sure what it is.
In the first photo there is the curve of the hill contrasting with the tall trees. In the second there is the circle of the gate focusing attention on the leaf, brick wall and light from the shaded window. In the last photo there are horizonal lines made by clouds, water and sky to provide the harmony.
Dale offers the prompt “indoor freestyle” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
We are in the process of moving from our Illinois home. Here are memories of the inside of it.
Dale offers the prompt “nature in black and white” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I forgot how to take a colored photo and completely drain all the color from it, but then I realized I had pictures that naturally looked black and white without any modification.
So here are two photos of sand on beaches around Miami Beach. Hopefully they look black and white enough and the man-made beaches look natural enough to count.
Dale offers the theme “night and day” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
The first photo is of a full moon, a sign of nighttime in Florida.
The second photo is a sunrise over the Atlantic ocean, a sign that the day is upon us.
Dale offers the theme “close up on nature” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
These photos are about as close as I wanted to get to these guys.
The last photo was a close up and focusing on rain drops against a window.
Dale offers “country landscapes” as the theme for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I picked three rural scenes. The first was on the way to Cripple Creek, Colorado. The second was along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. The third was a harvested corn field seen from a country road in northwestern Indiana.
Dale offers the prompt “my indoor space” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I took two photos of the desk that I currently use. I forgot to tidy things up before taking the photos.
Dale offers the prompt “my outside space” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I took these photos a short walk from where we now live.
The leaves below are either from a sweetgum tree or a sycamore or something else entirely. The sunset in the bottom photo was taken from the other side of the pond shown in the top photo.
Dale offers the prompt “in the trees” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
Above the sunrise comes in and through the trees (Miami Beach, Florida), assuming palm trees, or whatever they are, qualify as trees. Below there is snow in, or on, the trees (Northbrook, Illinois). And below that there’s a park and mountains in the trees or perhaps it is the other way around (Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado).
