An gloomy one. This one will be difficult to recognise with the dramatic lighting and the peculiar shape. You are looking at a big rock polished to have smooth waves/blobs onto which very fine specks of ice rain have fallen. The bit in front has not been polished or perhaps something has broken off. As if it has been sprinkled with powder sugar. Without context, it looks a bit like fungus on a raspberry. © 2017 Fred S. Wouters

Geometric door frames
This corridor in a small temple in the mountains of north Taiwan had a multitude of door frames; hexagonal, rectangular, round. It kind of reminds me of the interior of a submarine with the highly impractical round door way and the stairs. © 2017 Fred S. Wouters
Off season beach hotel
A tourist looking over the sea from his hotel room balcony in a small holiday village on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Nice geometrically arranged structures against the sea, rocks and sky. The place was pretty deserted as we were visiting the island a couple of days ago, i.e. fairly off season. © 2016, Fred Wouters
Orchidea(d)
Like a little Chinese lantern, this last withered and desiccated orchid hangs from its (equally dead) branch. I liked the composition with the curved and angled stem and the paper-like flower. © 2016, Fred Wouters.
Photographing wedding photography
Turning tables. Don’t ask me to take pictures at a wedding. But pictures of wedding pictures being taken is another matter. The museum park in Kassel must be a favourite wedding photography backdrop as we saw at least two parties in the short time we were there. This couple had just undergone a silly “jumping” routine and were now commandeered up the stairs for the n-th time. You can see the motivation sinking. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Cornfield
Somewhere in Thuringia in Germany. The classical romantic picture of a lonely tree in a (partly harvested) cornfield under dramatic clouds. Picture was taken with the Primagon 35 mm vintage lens. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
The streets of Erice
Another black-and-white photograph of Erice. This little city is timeless. The entire city is paved with these cobble stones that are arranged in lanes. The buildings al have the same brownish colour. A wonderful little city to walk around in and take in the atmosphere. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Farmacia
A pharmacist waiting for customers in Erice, Sicily. I like the atmosphere with the cobble stones and iron window shutters. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Spiderweb lantern
Another picture from the Georgian Quarter in Liverpool. I like the way that -already- old technology has invaded the cityscape. The cables connect the buildings in the rather wide street. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
More bricks
The brickwork in these neighbouring houses is completely different. As is the style of the windows, or their position for that matter. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
