This week Patti is leading us with the theme, Where to find the Mysterious! Be sure to check out Patti’s post and her beautiful images. She shared this quote below as well as the explanation for the challenge.
‘We yearn for the beautiful, the unknown, and the mysterious.’ ~ Issey Miyake
“When life is a bit crazy (like it is right now!), I go out with my camera, hoping that someone or something catches my eye. It’s not simply a distraction. I’m searching for something beautiful, something I’ve never seen before, or something mysterious. This elevates my day and my mood.
So, this week, for Lens-Artists #375, we’re exploring the mysterious. We’ll start by focusing on where to look for it. Let’s begin with the more obvious places.” Patti
See her list below
- Look for Low Light Conditions and Intense Shadows
- Look for Fog, Haze, and Rain
- Use Camera Techniques
- Find Abandoned and Damaged Places
- Look for Situations That Tell a Story

Shadows through the forest trails, part of the mystery of how deep it might be in spots!
The shadows of the trail.
For those who may not know, this may look like an odd unknown space with a stop sign? Confusing to some, but to a snowmobile rider, this is the visible end to a season, awaiting the stake removal in the dreary spring.
The mysteries of the spring thaw and how much the local rivers will swell…
What will this road lead to? I took this photo late last October… not even a month later our lives drastically changed… with more unknowns and mystery.
Thank you John for leading the challenge last week – On The Move! Next week will be Beth’s turn to share!

Some wonderful images this week Pamela – I especially liked the stop sign and the bridge with rising water. Did you experience a flood some time later? Are you in N.C.?

Thank you Tina, We are in Southwestern Ontario, thankfully we have not had flooding, since 2017 – it was a one time 100 yr thing when many basements flooded around here. However thinking of your comment, and how much the river did expand I am surprised we haven’t had more!

Lovely images, the open roads and the shadows on the forest trail with cars spoke to me most.

Thank you, being in the forest seems to have that double effect, capturing awesome images an the natural grounding that happens being in nature!
