Terra Mater

Black And White Photography, Luminis Imago, Photography
Umbria, Italy – 2025-26

This image belongs to a photographic project aimed at featuring a perception of Nature as the eternal cycle of springing, decaying, and returning to the roots of the Earth. The images are accompanied by quotes from the ancient Latin author Plinius Senior, who, in his Historia Naturalis, praised Mother Earth (Terra Mater) for giving us life and nurturing, accepting our diseases, and finally giving us a safe shelter and staying with us forever.

Other images of the project can be viewed on the dedicated page in my own blog.

Beached

Black And White Photography, Marcus, Photography
Beached | Liguria

There are scenes that, when you see them, just scream “monochrome”. Like this one on the beach of the little town of Noli on the Ligurian coast in Italy. Photograph taken with the Nikon Zf and the awesome Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.2.
Jpg out of camera.

The Arch

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Mobile Photography, Photography

One of my recent hikes near Sedona was to Fay Canyon. If you know where to turn off the main path, you can climb up to this arch. Be warned: it is not an easy climb as the top third requires some scrambling over rocks.
