In the middle of the city, you don’t see the horizon. Well before sunset, the sun dips behind a dark palisade of silhouettes
To see the sun touch the horizon, you must climb very high
or, down below, wait for a very special day
Or, of course, watch from your kayak on the river!

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.

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.

Ailsa‘s Travel-Themed Photo Challenge for this week is Silhouette.
She says: “It fascinates me how a silhouette; a two-dimensional outline of a person or object, can suggest a story just as clearly as if you could see the scene in its entirety. Perhaps it makes our imagination work overtime, trying to fill in the details we cannot see.”
Indeed…
Belize, 2010. More photos are here.
