Title: Last Day of March
Post by: bergholt on March 31, 2024, 10:50:49 am: Taken on the last day of March - flat stretch of grass in Hellerup, Denmark, facing the Swedish nuclear power plant Barsebaeck.

Pentax K5 with Zeiss 35mm f/2 lens.

From my The Time Is Out of Joint (https://bergholt.net/time) series which references Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', one of his most known and quoted plays.

This is good shot, thanks for sharing and for the additional info!

Thank you for the feedback & question :)

The small white triangular object is the sail of a small ship. Barsebaek itself is not visible because of the blurred out background (to me the orange glow is somewhat uncanny).

Thank you :)

By object do you mean the one in the left hand-side? Cropped away like this?

True - what I like, though, about the original is that it has a reactor-like shape (alluding to the nuclear power plant on the other side of the sea).

Good points :) Pehaps we should do a 'crop challenge' - one photo open to cropping preferences / strategies with severael people participating?
