This week’s Photo Challenge is Silhouette.
Wait, didn’t we already do that theme just a little while ago? Yes, back in August. But that was not the Daily Post’s challenge—it was Ailsa’s challenge on Where’s my backpack?, ahead of the game as usual… (Ailsa herself posted some fantastic silhouettes that you should definitely check out!)
In any case, here are some more silhouettes, or near-silhouettes. A hard-edged one in the late-afternoon sun…
and others softened as the sunlight filters through early-morning fog…
More photos from that trip are here. A second interpretation of “Silhouette” is here.

Aww, thanks for the nod, Vlad, that’s the second time the WordPress challenge has followed my lead, I’m feeling like quite an innovator! That last one with the bridges is really beautiful, but something about the top photo makes my heart skip a beat. Maybe it’s the almost-but-not-quite-there horizon, or the glassy water with that perfect reflection of Johna. Absolutely lovely.

Very nice photos for the challenge – I know that light!! You make the best of the hazy skies. Well, I’ll be back soon, if only for a week – I will look for kayaks, esp. if I take the ferry!

Vlad, these photographs are terrific! The first one is wonderful. I especially like the reflection of the sun in the water. But the second one is my favorite. The tip of the kayak in the forefront makes this photo standout by adding context and color to the cityscape in the distance and the other kayak.

Everything’s fine as long as you keep away from fixed structures in the current… fortunately there’s more room to do that than may appear in photos such as these…

Yes! Although in practice it’s difficult to do that unless you bring your own boat, unfortunately.
