They say the darkest is always under the lamp. I am just not sure if this Polish saying sounds the same in English. Why am I saying that? No reason really :) My mind likes to wonder when I edit photos for the post. Most of the time I put headphones on, turn up the volume and try to think what to write in the post.
A quick look at this photograph and it reminded me of street lamps in the distnance...

And that is the whole story here.
Just some silly connections.

The mosses and lichens are my all time favourite photographic objects. They live their own life in their own little world almost completely out of sight.

And of course so easy to shoot - completely motionless even on a windy day.

Monochrome song for today (I cheated with this one a bit - there is a video for it, but its in colour :p)
Radiohead - Creep
year 1993

Drop me some more music if you like.
But it must be black and white :)

These are some really beautiful pictures. Strange creatures in their own world indeed .. and the song is great as well :)

Thank you! They are so cool I cant stop shooting them :)

Excellent photography and also you are intelligent blogger. Your writing style is so cool

Thanks a lot! :))

Amazing photos, and amazing music!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed both :)

Ahh! One of my favorite songs!

Yea.. it is pretty cool! I have lots of favs, but it is one of them.

Love it! „Small is beautiful“ is almost my live motto, so it probably doesn't come as a big surprise :) But not everything small, those are the small I love, the beauty of the small.

I knew you would! :) I miss you lichen shots...

Fajny mikro świat. :) Zwłaszcza na tym drugim zdjęciu fajnie pokazany. Pozdrawiam @ewkaw :)

Dziękuję bardzo :)

Amazing! incredible atmosphere!)

Thanks!
Nice, moody and black and white :)

That's for sure!)

Those are some lovely shots! I'm not familiar with that saying or an English equivalent but it makes sense.

I always preferred Stone Temple Pilots song Creep to Radiohead's. Never could get into Radiohead myself but that could be because of how much my friends loved/played that song...

Aside from using speakers instead of headphones it sounds like our editing and writing process is quite similar. I'm not sure what makes music black and white but this song had better qualify

Google tells me it could be something like "The darkest place is under the candlestick".
The meaning is always the same though.

I use laptop with not so good speakers, plus my neighbors would not enjoy loud music at 2 am, so I always use headphones.

Ha! I like this one too! I was keeping it for another post. Just have to get the right photos first :))
Of course it qualifies.
