As I looked around that oasis in urban concrete desert, I felt, hmm, if we are determined enough, we can preserve nature.
A fall cityscape in Central Park, New York City. The inclusion of high rise building was intentional to show the symbiosis of (urban) civilization and (nature) preservation.

Thank you Andy. I tried an inside out model. Normally you get out of the city to see nature. Here you get out of the nature to see the city.

October I past up a good few. So here are some berries.

Thank you for the lovely shots of nature in autumn, Sury and David Antony. :D

:D Sury, I try to keep as silent on the photos as possible before my humble summaries of reviews are uploaded to not give anything away but I must say that I love how you are building the concepts of your photos lately... there's a very different approach to your photography which made a move from gear-acquisition to photo frame conceptualization which I find very pleasing. And I also feel that you are enjoyng the new you and your new photos. You definitely moved past the equipment and nicely gliding into the 'feel-what-you-are-framing' set of mind. It's a pleasure vewing your photo entries ! :D
Thanks for sharing !


:D David Antony, those are some healthy-looking, delicious berries awaiting winter's cold birds to feast on them. Generously offered on barren branches.

Thanks for sharing !

Yildiz

ps. Always welcome to share more everyone while I'll be working on my evaluations ... "the more the merrier" as they say in this particular season. : )

Yildiz,
Thank you very much for your kind words yesterday. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
And my wife thought I was giddy with joy yesterday because of our (29th) wedding anniversary. :lol:

Based on the suggestion by Yildiz.....
Keeping up with the symbiosis of urban growth and natural growth. A peaceful coexistence of man-made and nature made.
