There’s a photo participation being organised by the Guardian newspaper on the subject “Dark” which led to e looking through the various albums.
There are the obvious pictures of sunsets, most obviously from Africa.
But also from Wales.
Turns out there’s not a bad sunset picture to be taken in a desert.
And there are the endless pictures through windows or window screens from the dark into the light.
There are the shots taken in dark places, usually more about the light than the dark surroundings.
There are the pictures with dark subjects or topics, whether emotional (the cremations by the side of the Varanasi) physical (the gorging on a recently dead gazelle) or scary childhood toys.
Turns out Spanish catholic churches can be especially morbid with their monuments.
