Oceanside 2by cogeroxComment by digifotojo: The plaque-like framing really makes this work. The grainy effect adds interest to the overall composition. Very nicely composed. |

Marinaby cogeroxComment by jomari: The brightly coloured flowers (red hot pokers to me) make a great foreground in front of the greys of the marina and sky. |

Marinaby cogeroxComment by dafletchr: I've never seen those flowers but the make an excellent focal subject. Almost like a little race of alien pods popping up! |

Marinaby cogeroxComment by blad:  Lutchenko is spot on with both botanical and common name. very interesting plant... grows only as an annual in my climate. they are surprisingly easy to grow. i wonder if they are naturalized here?
this image demonstrates the "poker" very nicely. love it!

Marinaby cogeroxComment by roz: well i posted my last comment and decided to google 'stark' .. i was thinking along the lines of contrasty and rugged sort'v .. this is wot i found out about stark ..
"The meaning of the word stark is bare or barren
The word stark has had an interesting history. Originally it meant "strong" in Old English (and a very similar word still does in German), it came to mean "utter" and then through confusion with another OE word meaning "rump" came the phrase stark naked which is an emphasised form of being naked (naked being naked, after all). Stark also has connotations of spareness and lack of detail, as in "the skyscraper stood out starkly against the backdrop of forest". "
so it wasnt quite the word i was meaning after all .. altho strong comes close .. |
