On the perfect day, the city skyline looms, its buildings stretching toward the heavens, tantalizingly obscured by wispy clouds. The photographer strains his neck, seeking dizzying perspectives of height and falling upward, hoping to capture the perfect shot for viewers to enjoy. The city bustles below, its streets alive with movement and sound, while the … Continue reading Up Towards the Clouds – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

The photographer dives into the heart Of an idealized rose blossom, A world of wonder and enticement, Where petals unfurl in an endless dance. No colour to see, yet senses abound With the sweet fragrance of the bloom, His universe becomes scent and texture, A symphony of nature's infinite beauty. With lens in hand, the … Continue reading Into The Heart – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Beneath the canopy's veil, a hidden world of decay grows insidiously, climbing the sides of trees with quiet, creeping feet. Fungi, the colonizers of a forest's darkened decay innocuously harmful, their tendrils reaching into every crack and crevice. Uncertain and uncomfortable, these forests hold secrets of a world unseen, where decay and growth dance their … Continue reading Colonizing Decay – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

The sun, a fading ember in the sky Travels to night, painting the world sepia A last, defiant act before it dies And leaves us in the clutches of encroaching clouds The air grows colder with each passing hour And a storm approaches, a tempest in the making Heavy with snow, it bears down upon … Continue reading Hints of Sunset – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Their … Continue reading Inherited Halloweens – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

I stand rooted here, eye level with the firmament, a distant witness to the majesty above. The clouds, they drift and dance, fluffy and light, grey and white, a perfect contrast to the blue. I am far in the distance, but I see it all, as the world around me slows. The noise of life, … Continue reading Greying Wisps – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Ancient stones of marble and granite, barely upright over the souls they've known, erected to remember, but more often forgotten, faded by sun, stained by pollution and rain. Their surfaces marred by time's non-judgemental hand, etched with memories, but barely still stand, bearing witness to the ghosts of old, anchored to bones six feet below. … Continue reading Ghostly Stones – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

The sun bears down through thick leaves on this dry day, As I wander through a small suburban wood, Looking for the fallen and desiccated trees, That might emulate the land art of Goldsworthy. I seek the signature of creative chaos, The kind that only Mother Nature can deliver, And as I walk, I feel … Continue reading A Bit of Goldsworthy and Adams – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind
