Whilst downtown masquerade is the trend of the moment, only 5km out of town you can find incredibly quiet and almost achingly pure moments, like this ice on Thumsee. I created some more images today, but in my eyes nothing could match this quiet pattern of ice, hoarfrost and water.
With this image I send special regards to Martha in Vienna, who has a special appreciation for that place.
Markus, wonderful textures, tones and a strong presences in this photo. Well done, and your eyes are absolutely correct in selecting this one for posting.
I could mistake this one for a flat pattern of frost on a window. A wonderful convergence of form.
While I’ve enjoyed all of your recent images, this one is indeed special. As Carl says, “a wonderful convergence of form”. I almost wish that you hadn’t mentioned what you’d photographed here. I think I’d rather wonder exactly what it was. Even though the color is very cool, there’s an almost sensuous quality to this.
Oh yeah… quiet and present. A great companion to the photo after this one (chronologically speaking).
Thanks to all for the kind works. Finding images like this is *the* big incentive for me, and my ability to spot those forms and resonate is what I pursue to develop. Now I am looking forward how this image will look when it comes from the lab – I still could not decide to start printing myself.
Thank you for these beautiful images of Thumsee. Although I live in America, my beloved father was born and raised in this region and his ashes lovingly placed in Lake Thumsee this month. He loved this lake and was a lifeguard here many years ago. Your photos brought tears and memories to me. I will check periodly for more pictures of this beautiful landscape! Thank you.
