Frosty picspam

Went out for a bit on Sunday - as usual in the winter, didn't make it to town while there was still daylight, but did catch a bit of the sunset. And stuff.

All taken with the compact, as I obviously didn't have my DSLR back yet. Or the new lens yet.



Frosty leaf on asphalt.



Frosty manhole cover.



Sunset over the sea through a busstop wall.



Sunset over the town.



Frosty bench.



Frosty bench, take 2.

Can stay home tomorrow but I do have work to do - translating an article with instructions on photographing nudes. So far, I've learned that one should rent a studio as inviting the model home does not appear professional, and if the model has a thick waist but shapely legs, one should isolate the legs and do abstracts. Or something.

You have a wonderful way of creating abstracts out of the most ordinary things. The bus stop sunset is tremendous.

I love the sunset over the town as an instant eye pleasure. But the sunset over the sea through the bus stop wall is truly inspiring. It invites staring at it and getting lost in thoughts. Thanks for sharing those!

Lovely pics. (Aww, I miss Tallinn!)

Good luck with that translation! :D

God, I love your photos. All of them are fantastic and, I can't believe I'm going to say this, the sunset isn't my favorite. I'mn a sucker for sunset pis, but the other ones are so fascinating and, well, good.

The bus wall pic reminds me of a painting I envisioned last night. Should go sketch that out now.

You always take the most beautiful photographs. I love the colors in the two of the sunset, but the one that meserized me was the manhole cover with its tightly integrated ice crystals arranged in such a way that the numbers seemed to fairly pop off the page.

Marvelous! Thanks for posting these.

Those photos are mind expanding. :D

I love winter.

Pretty, pretty pics!

Even if they do make me shiver.

I just keep staring at the second bench pic. It's very intriguing and if you hadn't captioned it, I'd still be wondering what it was. All great pics, though.

Wow - the abstracts are amazing!

*guh*

Wonderful. As always. And I love how you choose familiar objects and cast them at unfamiliar angles and perspectives. Very beautiful.

I second what Dicky said - I love the way you create abstract art out of things. You have a great eye. The Frosty Bench 1 is a fave.
