The second picture is my favorite. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe that's why it's my favorite. Ultra black and shiny against natural greys, greens and browns. It almost doesn't fit in there. What is it?

I absolutely love gritty black and white urban street photography. I just love cities at night and the change in streets when the sun goes down, especially when almost everyone has gone to bed. Magical stuff happens when the world is soundly asleep!

There is an incredible young artist from the Philippines whose handle I have embarrassingly forgotten, who has been doing some brilliant night urban sets...when I trawl through CCC to re-find her, I will send you a link!

I hope life is treating you kindly and gorgeous photos and what tree are the 'spade' shaped leaves from please?

Landscapes, perspectives.

IS THAT OBSIDIAN? (second pic) the only place I've seen obsidian is Minecraft, I doubt very much that here in Venezuela you can see stones like that (at least on the island where I live there is nothing that can create obsidian:( ).

Your pic are very nice, I see that you take many photos to leaves, I used to take photos with my cousin, when I started in Steem that was our topic haha, but we didn't get that far, but you motivate me to take pics again, I just found these 2:

## omg while I was searching for those 2 I found this one: ![P1040200.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPCrFYXxLhXbvdLuUiH6KP8R7cZkv3fwd6Qcr7vdkJg3o/P1040200.JPG)

I got excited now, I challenge you to a photography duel (yes, just like a Pokemon duel)

Every picture represents a story, different textures, and the beauty of nature. All are Stunning captures.

My original love was landscape and night sky photography, and still very much is one of my favorites, but I've come to love photographing dancers.

Don't really like photography to be honest. Seems a pointless exercise. Your pics are good though.

Awesome photos. Thanks for sharing. The quality of ones camera really allows the photos to come alive. 

They are all crisp and clear.

This is my favourite time to take pictures. The leaves are on the ground and there are great framing opportunities everywhere 

I love your work.

Sup Dork?!? Enjoy the Upvote!!! Keep up with the dorky content for more love!!!

Me likey the moss on the rock. 

Such a tenacious thing moss, able to overcome challenges, face adversity and *get after* its goals - Growing on rock isn't easy, just like living life for humans I guess. I admire anything that can turn a difficult situation into triumph.
