For this #silentSunday I remembered one of our rare vacations to the sea.
I really like this photo. I feel like looking into the endless horizon, but still have a grounding element in the photo so that I'd never feel lost.

A striking and minimalist scene unfolds in this black-and-white photograph. The vast expanse of the open sea stretches out, its surface rippling gently with waves. In the distance, a solitary wooden structure rises from the water, partially submerged. The structure, weathered by time and elements, adds a sense of mystery and solitude to the scene.

Geometry study (shadows are weird).
Back story: In some parts of Vancouver, if you’re putting up a new building (typically condo/retail) you can get tax breaks or more square feet or some such bonus if you preserve the original facade. This place was torn down quite a while ago but the facade, propped up by the metal framework, remains. A policy misfire in this case because it was a really crappy brick frontage and would not be missed.

The facade of an under-construction building, propped up with a latticework of rusty steel beams, covered with faded plywood, bare trees in front, complicated shadows, blue sky behind.

On another unspecified social media, I joined a photography challenge called '52 flickers'. I'm supposed to take and post one photograph per week for the entirety of 2026. No archives, no backups, no spares, no descriptions - just a photo of any topic taken on a given week.
I typically shun this kind of challenges for millions of reasons, but since I take photos almost everyday, I decided to give it a shot. But to make it more interesting for myself, I decided not to use the most frequent categories of photos, i.e. reportage or stock.
Adding a thread here for backup purposes. Always tagging as [#]52flickers2026.
