Lost in Translation

Black & White Sunday: Abstract

I love abstracts. I don’t know how you feel about it, but abstracts are everywhere and can be seen in everything. Would you play with me today and show me some abstracts of your own?

I am not going to tell you what this is, but if you are really dying to know: look for the post titled “unusual” (There is a search bar on the right). This is Black&White Sunday photo challenge (in my case with a touch of colour too 😉 ) and you are invited to post your photos and link to this post. Happy Sunday and the week ahead!

    Stunning, as usual! How on earth did you add red? You drove me off to read about abstract photography, which led me to tutorials on Snapseed, which led me … and so on. I too was incapable of remaining mystified, and was even more impressed when I saw what you started with.

      Sonya, when I click this https://sonyavdg.wordpress.com/ I can access your page, but when I want to click on a specific post I get a message that it is unavailable. I hope it will get sorted. I’ll be back in a couple of day (I am going away on business till Saturday). I could see your abstract from the main page, I love it. Thank you.
