We are in the midst of the transition from city to island life, with a few days to open up the house, figure out what we need to have done this summer, and what we need to bring up on the next trip for the season. After a relatively short walk late afternoon through clouds of midges -- yucky black bugs that look like mosquitoes and travel in literal clouds -- I did one quick photo-walk on the beach. It's a nice contrast to the city.
The conversion to b&w makes this such a powerful image! Pleased the sun shone to welcome you to BI but you can keep the midges! Hope they have gone by your next trip for the summer!
such a calm and relaxing scene, yet powerful too. You managed to keep the midges out of the lens I see. They would be very troublesome to airbrush out!
Ewwww, I hate swarms of mozzies and related bugs! I don't think I have ever noticed seeing a black sun shot like this before. Not sure about it, makes me desperate for the colours! But welcome back to your Summer island, I know how much you love it there. Hope you have a wonderful Summer.
