Black and white photo of a fabric halloween skull decoration hanging in the bare branches of a tree in a town centre.

Skull.

All the leaves have gone, and the sky is grey, as the Mamas and The Papas almost sang.

Black and white photo of a cluster of holly leaves, their surfaces covered in drops of water from earlier rainfall. The round drops of water contrast with the sharp points on the edges of the leaves.

Black and white photo of St. Paul's Cathedral aligned between the two reflecting surfaces of office blocks. The dome of St. Paul's is reflected in both of the walls of the office blocks.

Triptych.

A holy trinity of reflections.

Thank you for the reposts.

Photo of a silhouette of a man standing in front of an illuminated wall broken by vertical black struts. the man appears lost in thought, though he's probably wondering where his pass is so he can access the security gate and get back to his desk to eat his lunch.

Thanks for the repost @rhonda44.bsky.social

Black and white photo of a path, strewn with fallen leaves, under a tunnel formed by overgrowing trees. The figure of a man is visible in the background, silhouetted by a misty white light. If this was hanging in a gallery it would have a label saying how it represented the passing of a life, with the fallen leaves the regrets and promises broken along the way - or some such bollocks.

Walking Towards the Light.

Yes, it still surprises me how much the difference a second or so can make to the dynamic and narrative of a scene.

I find this photo really appealing - the lovely tones of the beach and the interaction of the three figures.

Black and white photo of a woman, wearing headphones, emerging from beneath a large, angular building that's clad in metal panels, like some big old behemoth. Some say this building resembles an elephant - well it's big and it's grey...

Photo of a waste bin. The slot in the bin for the rubbish frames two people in a cafe, seated at a table.

Black and white photo of the less glamorous side of Coventry Cathedral, with its brutalist blocks bulking in the background. Behind a wall the slightly bowed head of a man is seen against a light portion of the Cathedral, as if the weight of the building is pressing down on him.

Photo of a cylindrical part of a building covered with azure-coloured tiles. It stands above a dark part of the building - a grill pattern is just perceivable - and against a dark blue sky.

Alien Artifact.

Black and white photo of a man walking in front of a building. The building's side is regularly punctuated by double doors painted on which are two chevrons pointing downwards. The man is carrying a drink and is in the middle of the centre door in line with the point of the chevrons. Image was taken in Birmingham, UK - the original and still the best.

Black and white photo looking through a window a step ladder leans against a wall behind the bottom of a staircase. The bannister rail curves down to end at a post with an ornate finial. An arched window is reflected in the window we're looking through.

A minimalist black and white photo of the side view of a breakwater made of large rocks projecting into a featureless sea. At the end of the breakwater is a post with a triangular-shaped top.

Photo of the rising sun casting its light across Liverpool Bay, the bulk of the Little Orme is silhouetted on the right. In the sky clouds are back and underlit by the sun and a gull flies in the top right of the frame.

Photo of a curving concrete shelter with white seats next to the seafront. Through one of the open window frames can be seen the top half of a man wearing headphones. The low sun casts long shadows and warm light over the scene.

Photo of someone through an open side window of their car. They are wearing a multi-coloured, striped sock on their foot which is on the dashboard. Image was taken at a local car boot sale - always a good source of interesting subjects.

Sock.

Such a simple image but so engaging. Black and white works so well with minimalist images. I love the tones on the black keys.

Photo of a woman sitting on a bench holding a portable gaming console. An ivy-clad tree towers above her and gravestones crowd in on the right.

Black and white photo of five satellite dishes attached to the side of a building in 'ull*. *That's Kingston-upon-Hull if you're posh, but then you'd be unlikely to frequent the area this photo was taken if you were.

Photo of two men on a bench and table. One sits on the table looking left, the other, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, slouches on a bench.

Oh, I like that very much. It captures the essence of these birds - all legs and energy.

Black and white photo of a group of seven fir trees standing alone. A kite soars above the trees, silhouetted against a patch of white cloud.

Photo in portrait format of a single oak tree on the top of a hill against a blue sky. Directly above the tree is a single white cloud, approximately the same size and of a similar shape to the tree. I had walked down the hill and just happened to glance back to see the cloud slowly moving above the tree - pure luck.

Great photo. I like the way you've caught the light reflected onto the pavement.

Photo of a window. Through one of the panes an eye can be seen peering out. If it seems familiar it's because it's a cutout of Buzz Lightyear that's propped up against the window. I leave the exercise of why to the viewer - don't blame me, I'm only the photographer.

Neighbourhood Watch.

Black and white photo of a single tree standing against a lowering sky in a field of stubble. The tree's upper branches are dead and stark, whilst leaves cover the lower ones. Every spring it produces new leaves, sticking up two fingers to the vagaries of life.

Lone tree

Half alive, half dead, this tree stands sentinel in a field.
