PhotoHunt “Dark” & Camera Critters
46
Categories: Camera Critters, Photohunt •August 9, 2008
A double again this Morning. Photo Hunt’s Theme today is "Dark" and I went with a Tree, that I shot in the Morning Mist.
More pictures from the "Dark Side" can be found here!
For Camera Critters I decided to go with Dragonflies. And these guys were at it big time and that in flight! Talk of the Mile high club!

The tree looks ominous in the mist! The Dragonflies… I’m speechless.

Absolutely amazing. The ‘dark’ one is so dramatic and the dragonflies a real wonderful capture.
Happy weekend!

Once again…wow!….for both shots! I love that spooky tree in the mist! What a terrific shot! And the dragonfly wheel is super, too! Dragonflies are definitely very single-minded.

I was felling a little scared while looking at the awesomely creepy tree! Then you made me feel differently with those flying mates!

Klaus, I am one of your biggest fans. Your photos are always amazing beyond words, and, often, I have to catch my breath when I view your shots. This is what I work towards and aspire to become.

“Dragonflies”: Amazing capture!

I absolutely love that first shot. I keep hoping to get some nice fog/hazy shots one of these days. This one is beautiful in almost an eerie sort of way because fog can be eerie. I always see monsters in the fog instead of a tree. LOL! As for the 2nd shot - dragonfly porn. Okay!
LOL!

The ‘dark side ‘ tree looks pretty special; it could be an illustration in a dark, and mysterious novel. I really like this mist shrouded, tree.

I guess that’s the way dragonflies do it. Good for them. Looks like fun.

I enjoyed both of your photos today … the first is utterly amazing … with a story waiting to be shared and the second an astonishing capture. I participated twice today with ‘moonrise’ in So Cal at Sacred Ruminations and a ‘dark critter collage’ at Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings,

I’m not sure what the problem is because I don’t see a ‘captcha’ code to enter, but I’ll try again … just because.

Oh how I love the fog and misty look surrounding that very spooky looking tree! That would look amazing framed.
I can’t believe the dragonflies are getting more than me! ;^) Lucky little insects. *giggle*

Well look at that a couple of flying acrobats. The darkside photo reminds me of something you would see coming out of the traditional black and white darkroom. I look forward to the day that I can set up my own darkroom but first I have to get a room to set it up in.
