Strong Contrasts – My Ode to Tarmac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Strong contrasts – deep shadows and bright whites, yet tons of subtle and rich tones between true black and pure white; transient rays of light flitting on solid ground; I love that beautiful light – on tarmac! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly melting snow and sparkling ice crystals compete to rainbow-colored glittering drops of water, running deliberately and calmly down – on tarmac!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarmac is alive, did you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series ‘Strong Contrasts – My Ode to Tarmac’ was made on Sunday, 24 January 2021 in the late afternoon light, near Endingen (\u2192 Google Maps<\/a>) and Lengnau (\u2192 Google Maps<\/a>) – both not far from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to watch out for the traffic during these photo sessions. Is there a warning sign: Attention – photographer ahead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*) I am pretty sure, you already have noticed – the title of this article is slightly imprecise:
Neither do I love tarmac per se<\/em>, nor tarmac per se<\/em> is alive – but the combination of tarmac, light and shadow, snow, ice and water – I love it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion and Lessons Learned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always keep your eyes open for the inconspicuous, it is right at your feet. And did I already mention? Always have your camera with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
