A close-up by Heike Maier showing two padlocks in black and white, one open, the other closed. Both locks look antique and rustic with visible signs of use, giving them a rough and worn texture. The play of light and shadow emphasizes the surface structure of the metals.
Sale even in the rain

The photo of the Rialto Bridge in Venice was taken on a rainy January day. As Bernd Seibel approached the bridge, he noticed the reflections on the stone floor and spontaneously took this photo. Despite the weather, there were plenty of tourists and traders – selling even in the rain.
Fairytale castle at sunset

The last rays of the day bathe the fairytale castle in a golden glow at sunset and make it appear as a silhouette on the mountain. Hohenzollern Castle in Bisingen, Baden-WĂĽrttemberg, rises majestically from the landscape in this picture by dave-derbis, evoking memories of the Middle Ages or fairytale worlds.

"What a joy it is to be able to stroll through the London night scene with a camera after a rain shower," thought NilsSch when he found The Mousetrap in a dark street, a theater that stands out in the dark thanks to its colorful neon lights. The reflection in the puddle means that the building is perfectly mirrored in the lower half of the picture.
Morning light

Morning light colors the blue sky over Friedrichshafen-Efrizweiler golden yellow. At the same time, the dull green meadow contrasts with the bluish shimmering village and the mountain range in the background. The overall result is an interesting and varied palette of colors in a landscape captured by Dieter Fröhling.
Covered in dew

The hundreds of tiny dew pearls on this blue dragonfly are clearly visible, as are the many fine hairs on its legs. Covered in dew, it holds on to a stalk while khan takes this macro shot of it.
Bathing time....

The sun's rays on this Baltic Sea beach are reflected in the water and the colors match the naked bodies of the bathers. At the same time, the yellow highlights in the picture form a good color contrast to the blue of the sea and the sky. Bathing time.... An atmospheric summer picture by mtuyb.
