Patti creates a new challenge for me, “This week the Lens-Artists are heading in a new direction. We’re exploring “the edges.” What have I captured “On the Edge” of buildings, cliffs, rivers, and beaches. I interpreted this challenge in a straigtforward way.
Seen from a jet
Over Land and Over Clouds
People on the edge

Many edges as seen from Mt Diablo
Looking down from One World Trade Center
Balancing the world while strolling down The Oculus
Animals on the edge
Balanced on flower power
Pelicans on the edge
Taking off
Coming in for a landing
Stay away from this wet edge!
Getting along
Love on the edge
Balanced, but not happy
Left hanging
Mealtime – the edge of hunger
Earth’s edge
Island of Maui
The ocean’s edge in Maui
The end of day at the water’s edge

Glad you stopped by. Any thing catch you attention? Let me know. I love to hear from you.
Anne-Christine tells me that “backlighting is a great way to create stunning, eye-catching effects. Here are a handful of specific images you can make with backlighting: Street and portrait silhouettes, bird-in-flight silhouettes, portraits, and macros with beautiful background bokeh, landscape silhouettes, and sunset/sunrise landscapes.”
Glass
I always enjoy looking at glass objects. I found some of these images in stores, in windows, and in displays.
I first saw an example of Chihuly glass at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The first and third photographs are examples displayed at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento.
Black puppies are particularly hard to photograph. Lighting is key. Libby was an English Black Labrador Retriever and my very first dog. I waited 40 years for her! It has been 4 years ago this month that we parted.
This is Liberty Love at 8 weeks.
Here is Moxie! Backlit.
Lots of images benefit from backlit lighting. I hope that you may be inspired to look at the world from a new perspective. Positive, beautiful and peaceful.
