that which does not kill you makes you strong

OMG! went to a power yoga class for the first time in almost a year... i expect i won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning... ;p

I don't know why i keep doing these abstracty shots... i'm not an abstract kinda gal... but i like light and dark and there's been no real light to speak of recently and the weather has been miserable so this other stuff just keeps happening... i am determined to take my camera out for walkies tomorrow...

for over / under exposure week in the flash-o-red theme set by @olivetreeann - a month of black and white with a spot of red on the 14th...

I've put a cardboard shot for the mundane challenge in my other album...

thank you for being so kind about my craptastic bit of cake... off to eat it now!
Seems to me that even if you're not an abstract kinda gal, you excel at abstracts. This is beautiful, and since the tags tell me what it is, I feel it's also very appropriate. Calm. Zen. :)

I like abstracts sometimes- they can be simple and soothing to the eye- all superfluous details stripped away and cut to heart of the matter- here just light, shade, and texture. Like it!

I love the texture and light ...it looks alittle like a close of a leg in nylon !! .....hmmmm... maybe i'm trying to hard to understand !!! .....lol
February 23rd, 2013  
I'm liking the abstract phase! And the yoga mat ...
February 23rd, 2013  
It kind of has a feel of a space odyssey
February 23rd, 2013  
Abstract is a modern way of looking at things, I reckon!
February 23rd, 2013  
The light at the left almost looks like water vapor rising. I like a good abstract like this. Ultimately, everything is "abstract"; we make it "concrete" by forcing it into our own frame of reference and learned perceptions.
February 23rd, 2013  
Very cool abstract. I love the lighting.
I think it's the focus on b&w - it makes you look at shapes and patterns much more - or it does with me.
February 23rd, 2013  
Cool abstract
February 23rd, 2013  
Again, love the simplicity and contrast.
February 23rd, 2013  
I like this, but I 'm sure the yoga mat will not kills you! Hope you survive and get strong!
February 23rd, 2013  
so want to do yoga again kool shot
February 23rd, 2013  
Great textures.
February 23rd, 2013  
I did yoga last weekend and my hip is still sore, sending relaxing muscles your way :)
February 23rd, 2013  
this will be in the top5 for the theme i guess! :D
February 23rd, 2013  
Awesomeness !:)
February 23rd, 2013  
Pretty cool textures besides the light and dark.
February 23rd, 2013  
wonderful lighting and textures. I feel your pain about the light, i feel like i have not seen the sun in over 2 weeks
February 24th, 2013  
hey you! I suppose it had to happen sooner or later...us being paired for get pushed! I'm going to be slightly kind to you this week and not make you do a "bright as you can colour shot"...but i'll keep you in line with the b&w month...only I want you to take a black and white panning shot and process INVERSE ie blacks are whites and whites are blacks. I've been trying to work out whether there is a negative filter in camera on a Canon, but I don't have one so probably more of an editing challenge for you as well as camera challenge. Hope that works for you...if not give me a shout and I'll think up something else
February 24th, 2013  
Nice texture and light!
February 24th, 2013  
@sparkle ooooh! interesting! my panning skills are sorely lacking and could definitely use the work-out... as for inverting - think of the fun i could have with this... tx :D
February 24th, 2013  
@agentzuckerguss tx Katia... but i'm not sure what theme i would tag it for :)
February 24th, 2013  
hmmmm....interesting.
February 24th, 2013  
This is really nice! I like it.
February 24th, 2013

February 24th, 2013

February 24th, 2013  
Just stunning! I am really enjoying your abstract shots, they are wonderful.
February 24th, 2013  
I like your abstracts, excellent light play.
February 24th, 2013  
Sun rise on a foreign planet
February 24th, 2013

February 24th, 2013  
Really nice light in this
Namaste hahaha
And the best part of yoga is the little nap-py thing at the end. I will endure for the little nap-py thing
February 24th, 2013  
I love trying to find something of interest in the mundane, this has great light and texture.
February 24th, 2013

You have such an eye that I just like seeing what you come up with. The textures and lighting are wonderful in such a simple photograph it works well!! So how did you do the next day???hehe More power to ya!
February 26th, 2013  
@sistawood not too too badly.. altho' sunday morning i fell while out walking and really hurt myself and then wasn't sure which aches were from the fall and which from yoga... but i'm much better today, so it's all good :)
February 26th, 2013  
@northy sorry about the fall :( Glad you're feeling better today!! I'm a runner and thought about doing some yoga myself ... I don't know ... we'll see ..hehe :)
February 26th, 2013  
@sistawood i sorta run too... a fellow "sorta runner" dragged me into yoga... i'm pretty sure this was a good thing :)
