#ThrowBackThursday #Minimalism #Selfie #Photography

A minimalist, line-art selfie, made in Photoshop somewhere between 2010 and 2015. The style is highly abstract and minimalist, using only a few simple black lines on a white background to suggest the facial features and hair.

The hair is represented by a cluster of short, curved, somewhat jagged lines on the top of the head. Curved lines suggest the eyebrows or the crease of the forehead.The eyes give the impression of a focused gaze. There is a single, short, curved line that suggests the bottom and side of the nose. A long, gentle curve suggests the contour of the jaw and chin.

A simple, upward-curving horizontal line forms a smile.

Smurfs Log: Updated Fotolog

I found myself unable to slumber. So I decided to update the theme on my fotolog. I started this blog in July 2007. But in recent years, I have used this Mastodon account as my main publishing platform 😀

Premières neiges de la saison sur le Vercors (depuis #Grenoble) #photography #photographie #LandScape

Un flanc de montagne enneigé avec une tache de lumière au centre donnant un côté très moelleux pour les sapins blancs, augmenté par un nuage assez diffus juste au-dessus, et un pan de falaise nu juste à côté. Dans le coin en bas à droite on peut voir un poteau de ligne haute tension, et enfin derrière on aperçois dans les ténèbres le haut de la ligne de crête.

A weathered stone structure on the East Rim of the Grand Canyon blends into the rugged landscape. Twisted tree branches frame the vast, layered rock formations, while soft clouds float above, capturing the canyon's timeless beauty and scale

This scene captures a quiet moment on the edge of the Grand Canyon’s East Rim. In the foreground, a small, weathered stone building rests on a cliff, blending seamlessly into the rugged terrain. Nearby, a gnarled tree, its branches bare and twisted, stretches towards the canyon, adding an organic, almost sculptural element. In the background, the vast expanse of the canyon spreads out with layered rock formations in shades of red and brown, fading into the distance. Above, the sky is bright with soft clouds, creating a peaceful contrast to the dramatic landscape below.

View of the woods with dappled sunlight bright along the forest floor; a very warm image such that the greens are not as noticeable, but last year's fallen pine needles and detritus area a bright caramel brown. Taken with my Nikon F3 HP using CineStill 400D film

Another forest scene but this one is deep green and full of spiky cedar boles surrounded by lush green young deciduous saplings and shrubbery. The upper right quadrant of the image is washed out so that distant tree boles appear red.

This Sandhill Crane, with its distinctive red crown, gracefully preens its soft, silver-gray feathers against the warm backdrop of golden grasses. The bird's focused pose highlights the intricate details of its plumage.

A Sandhill Crane is captured in a moment of calm, preening its feathers. The bird's body is covered in soft, smooth, silvery-gray feathers, while its head is crowned with a vivid red patch, which stands out in contrast. The crane's long neck is gently curved as it tends to its feathers, and the bird's sleek form is nestled against a backdrop of golden, dried grasses, evoking the warmth of a sunlit day. The overall feeling of the scene is one of quiet concentration and natural beauty.

The riverside comes alive with colorful lanterns reflecting on the water, as boats glide along under a softly fading sky. The warm glow of lights from Hoi An’s buildings adds a magical touch to this peaceful evening scene.

#art #vietnam #water #evening #hoian #travel #photography #fineartphotography #wallart #river #historic #buyintoart #giftideas #ancient #fedigiftshop #mastoart #asia #photo

This image captures an evening scene along the Hoi An River in Vietnam. In the foreground, traditional wooden boats float on the calm water, each boat decorated with colorful paper lanterns that softly glow. The lanterns cast reflections on the water's surface, creating a shimmering, multicolored effect. Along the riverbank, there are rows of low, old-fashioned buildings with dark roofs, lit warmly from within, and more lanterns hang outside. The scene is busy with people, both on the boats and along the riverbank, enjoying the evening. Above, the sky is transitioning from light blue to soft purple as dusk falls, giving the scene a peaceful, almost dreamlike quality. The river and lanterns together evoke a sense of calm and festivity.

"The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world."
