A boy runs in the surf during the golden hour at the beach in Santa Monica. While the rest of the country is busy shoveling snow and trying to keep warm, those of us in SoCal are suffering through a drought and unseasonably warm weather. And by suffering I mean enjoying playing in the surf in late November.

Abstract Reflections
Human-made objects with reflective surfaces often create unexpected art. In this case, the reflection on the flat surface of this building in the heart of downtown Chicago creates the illusion of three dimensional space.
These two images compliment each other. I like the fact that on the first one the bird arrives and on the second the bird leaves. The bird came back so quickly, when she realized she did not take the time to eat .. !
I love little birds and I observe them everyday and photograph them with a lot of patience. :’)
I hope you like them !
A foggy evening stroll at the beach. I love how the fog makes everything so quiet and peaceful.

Le temps passe
Tout le monde arrive
Tout le monde repart
Tel des rapaces
Ils ne me voient pas
L’horloge tourne
Les minutes défilent
Mais moi je reste là
A regarder le temps
Assise sur mon banc
Depuis maintenant 21 ans
Je ne sais plus
Si je vis dans le présent.
Time goes by
Everyone arrives
Everyone is back
Such as raptors
They don’t see me
The clock isn’t ticking
The minutes scroll
But me I stay here
To watch time
Sitting on my bench
Already for 21 years
I don’t know
If I live in the present.
In this image we are in Greenwich, London. This was taken this past summer and it was one of the only photos I took.
I wrote a little “poem” to accompany my photo. I tried my best to translate it in English but it does not rhyme with the translation.
We are finally done with our regular posting schedule for this year and now its time for Santa Joe to relax and have some milk and cookies, err…something to that effect!
I want to take this time to thank all of my hard working elves (aka contributors) for a wonderful 6 months, and all of our followers for being so gracious with your generous comments.
Beginning the day after Christmas we have some special posts in store for you, in fact we have a whole week of guest posts lined up.
We hope you enjoy this special week of posts and all of us at Monochromia wish you a Happy Holiday Season and a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year.
P.S. thank you Mrs. Santa for capturing me in one of my finer moments 🙂
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night”
