Melting icecakes in the intertidal area of the river estuary.

The icecakes get lifted, moved around, shaped, when the tide comes in. Bigger icecakes get formed when ice layers get stacked, sometimes reaching several feet high. Fusion.

Icecakes that get frozen to the bottom at low tide sometimes tear free during high tide taking pieces of the bottom with them. Fusion & Tadaa SLR.

I Love the top image of the iceberg such stunning texture
 
It’s been a very fun week full of variety! Since it’s night time where zenjenny lives, I think it’s time to close this thread and wait in happy anticipation to see what she chooses as her faves. :D

Found Faces surely?:rolleyes:
 
Having made up I mean researched the theme of theme-less-ness I had to follow through.
So, with a shortlist of about 30, I called upon my inner pedant/perfectionist (fortunately never too faraway)
and reduced it to five images that in my view were beautiful and engaging in some way
but did not lead me to a particular reading or theme.

Then I asked my DH ‘which of these images would you say were least thematic while still being inviting to the eye?’
My DH said ‘huh?’ and went back to watching Mission Impossible 97.

So. It’s JillyG with A Bloom and a Bulb.

Perfect theme-less-ness. A bloom and a bulb - of course! The image is balanced, composed, nicely lit - and if anyone can come up with a theme for that particular juxtaposition (‘B’s excepted) you’re smarter than I am. (I’ll stand by for the tsunami of perfectly reasonable themes :mobibabe:. But Jilly still wins :))


terse & rizole equal 2nd

Rizole can make (and has made) a sink full of dishes, a puddle and the remains of a pizza into images I’d be proud to hang on my walls. So I was not surprised to find most if not all of his contributions on my first list. This one, though — just look at the perfect attention to all seven (depends who you’re reading) of the key elements of design, all three (depends who you are reading) key principles of design — and, at least as far as I can tell, it means nothing at all! Genius!

Like rizole’s, Ted’s images have so much going on in them that my eye doesn’t feel led anywhere in particular. Ted’s title and that wonderfully sharp silhouette do suggest a story about the seagull landing - but then my eye is caught by the intricate markings, both natural and human made, in the rock — and then the almost abstract flattened layers of earth water and sky, and then the Rorschach-like shadows . . . Glorious, intriguing theme-less-ness.

Forgive me if I don’t list the 27 HMs. I’m sure you felt my admiration and enjoyment through the ether :notworthy: :inlove: :)

:D Thank you my dear, for choosing my image over all of those marvellous ones this week. I’m delighted. Well done to terse Ted and rizole Rizole for seconds. What a Theme-less-ism week. I’m not surprised that Coronation80 Stephen is a bit confused. I have to say (between you and me) that I just threw stuff at the challenge this week, hoping that something might stick. And it did! I advise you to do the same Stephen.:lol: And now I must choose a theme. Companions, I think. More than one thing that goes together with another or anothers. So not chalk and cheese, or oil and water, but things that go well together (friends, Romans, countrymen, inanimate objects etc etc). If you need a further idea, let me know.:lol: I look forward to seeing what you can throw at me.
