Mrežnica river covered with fog in city of Duga Resa, Croatia. In a season without swimmers, even on this part of the river, flowing throe dense populated urban area, there is noticeable amount of animal and aquatic life. Something that this river is very rich of.

This is an image, actually to be more precise, reproduction of the imprint of the very dusty pigeon, which one day decided to slam into a big dark glass wall of the studio I work in.  All that was needed afterwards, to make this odd and interesting photo, was a big piece of black cloth behind the glass, and big piece of black cloth behind my back, and one bordeaux  colour hoodie  t-shirt  to get this colour variation around the imprint itself. And off course a good radial polarizing filter to get rid of the most of the reflections in glass. Fortune of mine that it was rather cloudy day so my Olympus e510 that I carried with me made possible to me to take few hand-held shots using its sensor stabilization feature. Photoshop editing consists only of photo merging of several shots taken, levelling and saturating the photo to get the most contrast and some colour out of it, and some darkening and burning  of the details still viewable in the glass that were more of the distraction then of use in the photo. The title of the photo is “The Holy Ghost” , and I dedicate it to the dusty pigeon that slammed into glass, and in that way becoming the co-author of this photo. Oh yeah! The pigeon was not to be seen around the glass afterwards, so I guess he flew away in good condition but rather confused!

One burned out candle in old cemetery reminds us again of the fact that we all extinguish slowly toward our end.

Empty benches in front of the colourful glass windows inside St. Vitus Cathedral. Prague, Czech republic. The rope in front of them forbids the access to them while the darkness behind them scares away.

This wooden pillars amazed me with the great texture they produce piled up in this manner.
