Ephemeral landscapes: Black and white photographs of subtle and ethereal landscapes

Landscape photographs of ordinary yet dreamlike landscapes — no grandeur required

When most people think of landscape photographs, they probably conjure up visions of Yosemite as photographed by Ansel Adams (and a million others since his time). They may think of the large-scale environmentalist images of Edward Burtynsky, or the vivid color photographs of Art Wolfe.

When people think of landscape photography, they usually envision something the work of all these photographers shares . . . photographs of vast spaces, vistas with grandeur.

This post features quiet little landscapes, decidedly absent of grandeur

The landscape photographs featured here show thin stems and blades of grass waving in a chilly breeze, or autumn leaves floating in a river pool, or a row of sparkling raindrops tenuously clinging to a bowed stem.

Fine art prints of all these quiet landscape photographs are available in a variety of sizes and prices. Click the photograph to visit the secure e-commerce page.
