The Daily Post’s Photo Challenge this week is Silhouette. And Ailsa’s Travel-Themed Photo Challenge is Couples. Here’s a photo that combines both themes…
Additional interpretations of “Silhouette” are here and here. And of “Couples”, here and here.
... has kayaked the waters around New York for over a decade in his red Feathercraft folding kayak. He comes originally from (the former) Czechoslovakia and has lived in the U.K. and California before settling down in New York. He is a neuroscientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
... is a kayaker and technology researcher at Nemertes Research. She's an erstwhile engineer, particle physicist, and science fiction writer. She was born in California and has lived in Italy, Norway, Hawaii, and a few other places. She currently resides in New York City.
Great work on getting both themes in one shot. I love the sky in that one, too.
Puerto Rico is great for dramatic skies. Tropical skies—there’s always something happening up there :-)

What a great two for one shot. Thank you for sharing this wonderful photo of the couple in silhouette. ;)
Thank you!
I like the way you combined the two themes into one photo. That takes skill.
Mainly skill in remembering which photos I have filed away that answer the challenge ;-)
Beautiful photo! Is that you?
Thank you so much for the compliment, but no ;-)
What a beautiful outlook the couple have :)
Yes, it’s on the ramparts of the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a fortress high above the entrance to the harbor of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Here’s that view on a different occasion:
Absolutely gorgeous – thank you for sharing these beautiful shot, Vladimir.
Excellent for both ;-)
Thanks! :-)

Very cool. So simple, and yet tells a story of a moment spent together.
Yes :-)
I love the lighting in this shot – very dramatic
Hard to avoid dramatic light in the tropics…
Very nice…and romantic too!
Thanks, Fergie!
Seems like couples & silhouettes go together perfectly… like mac & cheese, peanut butter & jam… ;)
Nice shot.
Thanks so much!!
:)

Gorgeous, Vlad, and that sunset photo is just so beautiful, the colours are unreal.
Even the locals go to that spot to watch the sunset…
Thanks, Ailsa! :-)

The combination of the couple in silhouette is compelling. The cloudy sky is perfect!
Glad you like it!
