Thursday’s Special: Twilight

Posted on November 24, 2016

Today’s theme is pretty clear though the light in the image is dim. This twilight, half-obscure shot was taken one October above Florence. These days too as we approach the winter solstice, the half-lit sky is the only sky I see coming home from work.

Black & White Sunday: Size

Posted on June 5, 2016

Are you impressed by size?

Size is a feature we are rarely indifferent to. We tend to ignore small people and things and gaze wide-eyed at the giants of this world.

Here is an example for you to muse on: Michelangelo’s David (in this case a replica) with unusually emphasized parts of his body and others that are disturbingly neglected.

There you have a theme that is fairly easy to interpret in a photograph. Show me what you’ve got in terms of sizes. You have time until next Saturday.

My blogger friends say that size matters. Here is what they came up with:

Intricate design of the Duomo

Posted on May 1, 2015

The largest brick dome ever constructed can be found on the famous Florence cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore and is a work of the 14^th century Florentine architect Filippo Brunelleschi.

The intricate frescoes that ornate its interior were painted by Giorgio Vasari and Frederico Zuccari between 1572 and 1579.

Intricate is today’s photo challenge theme.
