This time, the gallery photographers' pictures are all about warm colors and fascinating warm-cold contrasts; and both often from impressive perspectives. Historic and modern architecture come together, you meet people in Thailand and experience powerful moments of silence in the Namib Desert.
The old and the new world

The new Kunsthaus in Graz stands out futuristically from the city's historic architecture. In johann potocnik 's photo, the old and new worlds merge into a fascinating contrast, emphasized even more impressively by the reflections on the curved façade.

During the canoe trip along the mangrove forests on Koh Chang in Thailand, the boatman gazes seriously and intently into the distance. Joachim Kiner 's snapshot captures his focused expression, which is made even more intense by the lighting and the hat.
Manhattan at Sunset

"Manhattan at Sunset" – In this captivating moment of the day, the skyscrapers of Manhattan awaken in a golden glow. The warm light of the sunrise bathes the imposing facades in a shimmering bronze hue. The architecture is repeated in perfect patterns in mtuyb 's picture, giving the photo an abstract feel.

The Austin Healey 3000 MK III appears particularly elegant in the black and white photo, the vignette effect enhancing its timeless charm. But even if the car shines with its timeless elegance, it remains incompatible with Uncle Werner 's wallet. A unique picture from the"Halbe Sachen 3" series.
Poetry of the city

A pigeon stands in the golden light of day in the middle of the city. Even if this moment seems ordinary, it contains something special: "This photo shows us that even in the hustle and bustle of the urban world, there are small moments of peace and beauty – you just have to discover them." Antonio Giovanni Galle calls his photograph the poetry of the city.
Morning ascent to the dune in the Namib

Lgfokus decided to venture on a morning climb to Dune 45 in the Namib. The sand dunes seem to stretch endlessly until they disappear into the horizon. The golden, orange sand stands in stark contrast to the clear blue sky. A single person can be seen in the distance, his tiny silhouette making the vast expanse of the desert even more tangible.

Dark Butterfly

The splashes of color on the otherwise black wings of the"Dark Butterfly" stand out in bright red. The macro shot by Lightpix84, taken at Emsflower, draws the eye directly to the center of the picture, where the red highlights come to life. The blurred outlines of the background and the partially blurred upper wings reinforce this focus and make the butterfly appear even more impressive.
