This week Ritva invites us to “break the normal rules of realism” and play with abstract photography. Such a wonderful way to stretch imagery from the concrete to the conceptual. Nature provides many opportunities to capture abstract impressions.
Lively colors and reflections on moving water (above) are among my favorite subjects.
Old wood and rocks provide a wide-open palette of texture, shapes and patterns.
The gentle wave pattern, light and shadow with a slight mist blurring the view add to the abstract quality of this Palouse landscape.
The unusual shape and texture of this wood Fungus creates another natural abstract.

Great selections Lindy. Love the first reflection and the wavy landscape in particular. 👏
Thank you, John. If you enlarge that first photo you will see small fry swimming just under the surface!
Ha! Good one. ‘Easter egg.’
Perfect!
Wavy abstract, my fav!
Thank you!
You are welcome, my friend.
Great gallery, Lindy. Like you, I’m also drawn to water reflections and the abstracts they create.
Thank you, Egídio!
These are lovely Lindy, you cannot go wrong with water reflections. Also mist is a great to capture abstract images.
Nice picture of the Palouse. I remember such views from Kamiak Butte, many years ago.
Thank you, and that’s where the photo was taken!
Fantastic. I thought your would enjoy this Lindy. Loved the Palouse landscape. Serene Is what comes to mind. The fungus initially looked like a sneaker covered in mud or dirt. Nature just always knows how to “bring it”. My favorite was your last. Simplistic beauty.
Thank you, Donna. Here’s another example of a photo taken with a question mark (why I am taking a picture of this?) and later realizing – yes, this is why!
Yes…makes sense.
Great abstracts Lindy. I saw the shape of a girl in the wood abstract.
Thank you, Anne. I’ll have to go looking for that girl!
😊
