Those two words show up here on the blog every once in a while. I thought about this being a Silent Sunday post but the title and the image were too dissimilar I would think. On the other hand, irony is always a fun concept. I could have saved it for a Turbulent Tuesday but…
Buffam Brook just below the waterfall.
There’s a lot going on here but simplifying it didn’t seem simple at all so I am standing pat. As you might imagine, this was anything but silent and I should have made an accompanying video. I considered black and white but like the bit of color and the upper left rock looks a little like cinder.

I took all the color out of this picture just to see. I still prefer what the shades of brown add to the black and gray.

As do I. The image definitely loses some interest without the color. Too much going on for monochrome, I think.

Thanks, Alessandra. Water in motion is one of my favorite subjects and I spend a lot of time at it. Our brooks generally run very low in the summer so now is the time to capture them.

Not that I’ve ever seen a shrunken head in real life, and not that I’d ever want to see one, but that boulder at the upper right certainly suggests human features: two eyes, a nose, and so on. Here’s a title for you: “The Plight of the Careless Photographer.” I’m glad to remember that you take reasonable precautions out there on the rocks!

I think I prefer a chunk of cinder to a shrunken head but I do see that also although, like you, I’ve never seen one in person. I am definitely less daring than I have been in the past. Several years ago I fell on my back in the snow while wearing my camera bag. I was like an upside down turtle trying to get back up.
