A very close photo of a typical New York park bench made of iron and wood. The picture is taken from the side, looking through the round iron armrest, so it makes a tunnel effect with other loops behind. The wooden seat parts are a little grey-green and blurry in the back. In the left and right background, you can see people legs standing and walking on the street, but they are out of focus.

Photo showing a marina in the early morning before sunrise. Many sailing boats are moored close together on very calm water, and their tall masts rise into the blue dawn sky. The water is almost like a mirror and reflects the boats and masts in long dark lines. Along the horizon, the first warm light of the coming sun is visible below a band of clouds. A thin crescent moon can be seen in the sky on the right side. The picture feels very quiet and peaceful, with only the boats, the reflections, and the slowly changing light of the new day.

Black-and-white photo taken in Béziers, showing a very old olive tree which is around 2,000 years old. The massive trunk is twisted and full of deep cracks, shaped by a very long life. Thick branches spread in many directions and create strong lines against the sky. Because the image is in black and white, the textures of the bark and the form of the tree become the main focus. The photograph shows the strength, age, and character of this remarkable olive tree.
