“Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement.”
Alice Koller

The early morning sun is rising behind me, is being reflected off the closest office building, is being reflected off office building windows just to my left, and is finally revealed as the dappled pattern on the windows and wall of the original building.
This was taken with my cellphone camera at a stop sign near Cherry Creek in Glendale, CO.

The high contrast and razor sharp edges of LoDo (LOwer DOwntown) buildings and their shadows caught my eye while walking to Coors Field for a Colorado Rockies game.

Found this image interesting with the early morning sun glancing off a Denver, CO, skyscraper behind shaded trees and bike racks.

After sunrise this sculpture seemed to pop out of a primordial forest.

Dawn sun rays back light the open petals of this 'old' rose in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science rose garden.

Watched the sunrise create a horizon shadow line along the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The circular area in the foreground is a splash fountain for children during the heat of the day; in the mid ground is the lake, its boathouse, and a water jet fountain, with the Denver skyline below the Rocky Mountain peaks.

Made use of tall park trees to frame downtown Denver, CO, during blue hour. Intentionally, cropped out the streetlight in camera, but found the flare added to the image appearing to provide some of the light for the foreground.

Spotted this potential shot while approaching a group of fellow photographers gathered to take blue hour photographs of the Denver skyline against the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Took several shots from the area where they were gathered, then moved back to catch this image. Was amazed at how few actually moved from their initial set up location to change their viewpoint or perspective.

Green Valley Ranch Golf Course grounds crew predictably water the fairways of the course at the same time every day. Here the early morning sunlight shines through the sprinkler rooster tail and creates a sharp silhouette and shadows from trees along the fairway. Like the pastel rings around the rising sun, which are the result of applying the "Posterize" function to the basic image.

I saw this chap's striding silhouette against the window at the Victoria and Albert Museum and couldn't resist capturing the moment.

Taken on the island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, Spain, a windmill sits in silhouette against a clear sky of gold and blue.

Was shooting into another room through an open doorway as the pastor guests gathered for pre-processional prayer. While working in post to bring out the full front portrait using available light, found the silhouette of another made for a more interesting image than my original intent.
I think I may have over processed with cropping, pseudo-HDR process, and light/shadow post work, I see graininess. What do you say?

I took this photo a while back while competing in a 5-day black and white challenge.

This is taken at Loughrea Lake in Galway, Ireland and beside the nearest town to me.

Catching a Sunset on Caldy Beach, these wooden structures do make great subjects, plus the silhouette is an added bonus.

Peaceful sunrise walk produces moments of Awesomeness!

Tonto, the faithful guard dog, keeps watch over the house while the owners are away ...

something a little different.

This is one of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen, my camera, try as I might, just couldn't capture the true majesty of this particular end to a day.
