Week 5/26
The natural artistic forces are expert at creating beauty. It can be terribly cold, with a biting wind, snow like shifting sand underfoot, and deep soft gullies that suddenly engulf you. And then you see the sculptures emerging, textured carvings being revealed. And it doesn't feel so cold. You know you are the only person in the world that will ever see this. Except that now you get to see it too.

+HQSP Monochrome and +tri rini nuringtyas thank you so much for the reshare and the comment. It's a thrill to be reshared by the page and more so when shared to the +HQSP Promotion page, which it also was. 😀
+Lauri Novak thanks a lot, Lauri!
This beautiful picture has been shared at +HQSP Monochrome. Thanks for your contribution & have a nice day!

Awesome shapes and light.
+Janet Patterson – thank you so much. I really was happy with the way the lines worked in it when I saw it through the viewfinder, too.
Thanks a lot +Christine Bichler – the textures in some of these drifts are just marvellous and constantly changing, so you could take different photos in the same spot, most days.
+Glen Schlueter thanks, Glen.
So sorry to disappoint, +Sharon Stone – you'll be the first to know if I ever do it. I am a little afraid of heights, so anything more than about 6 feet above the ground makes me giddy. 😀
+senthil anbil thanks very much.
This is really great +Ellie Kennard! And not an easy one to guess what it is 🙂
I love, not only the textures in this, +Ellie Kennard, but the lines as well, nicely placed to give a well-balanced abstract.
wonderful abstract with great texture +Ellie Kennard
cool
I really thought you had gone hang gliding :-)) Great shot!!!
Very cool !
Good effort mam ..
Only in my mind's eye, and my dreams, +Sharon Stone​ . But if you read my comment just above, to Ursula, you will see what I meant when I wrote that it was hang gliding. Thanks Sharon!
+Ursula Klepper I love it that you like this image! So often when I look at relatively small things, such as this, I feel that I am as big as a giant, or hovering above the world and these are much bigger parts of a landscape below. When I looked at this it looked like a mountain range so I tried to photograph it so that it looked the way I imagined it. I continued this in my processing. I'm glad it worked for you.
Thanks a lot, +Giselle Savoie​ textures work so well in black and white don't they?
Hang gliding? That's very cool, +Ellie Kennard!!!
At the first glance I thought it was sand, I forgot that you are still buried in snow, than I thought that could also be mountains seen from the airplane … It's a gorgeous image, I love your composition and the way you processed it!
Cool drift, great textures!
Thank you, Sumit.

Thanks a lot +Bill Wood – on this occasion I did not share with Landscape Photography but with the +All Things Monochrome theme you also help moderate. 🙂
So much texture — and I love the interplay of the lights and shadows. Beautiful!
Wonderful shadows in your monochrome, +Ellie Kennard Thank you for sharing your wonderful image with +Landscape Photography
I love that nature of your image. Open to imagination.
It does look like sand in this, but everything is so white here that I was happy to feature the textures and shapes and shadows of this snow. Quite like sand. +Lady Fran W​ thanks a lot.

+Elizabeth Lund – thanks a lot Elizabeth. And it was bitter. Had to put my camera somewhere not too warm when I got in so it didn't suffer from condensation.
Thanks very much +Heiko Mahr – I absolutely agree. I never tire of it.
Oh I love this and it does look like nice warm sand, not the cold show it is +Ellie Kennard !
Wonderful light and shadow which create a 3d effect +Ellie Kennard
