Friday's Focus - 2020/10/30 - Spooky

[Kyle Jones]

Well, since tomorrow is Halloween I figured that something spooky would be in order. The image itself could be spooky or something about the experience taking it could have been. I'll start with one of each...

1) The image isn't spooky, but while hiking down the trail in the dark I saw two eyes glowing in the dark. I knew there were bears spotted in the area that day so my pulse jumped. It turned out to be a deer...

2) God beams and storm clouds over the Armageddon Valley - of course Armageddon is spooky!

I have a couple of images for this one.

First - from First Beach at the town of LaPush. A scene I encountered on a very cold fall morning that begged for a serendipity capture. I have no clue what the context was for this beachfront offering:

These next two were art pieces seen at the Oregon Country Fair:

Metal Monsters:

A classic for the season:

Very cool Kyle. Great photos and a spooky tale.

I think this Focus will cause some thinking to be required.

 

[JimFox]

Well, Alan found some Spooky photos! Maybe it won't require as much thinking as I thought.

Good one Kyle, and glowing eyes looking at you in the dark is always spooky. LOL

My wife says this image reminds her of a volcano erupting, and I guess that would be spooky. After a storm had past the Ortiz Mountains.

These next two are not spooky, but if you know the UFO history that has gone on in the past here in NM. Being at the VLA by myself watching the sun go down in a very remote part of the mountains that are near there. It was a little spooky.

One from the archives that I found after posting this series. And it fits perfectly with this Fridays focus.

This first one is a gust front over Sedona.

This one might be more sinister than spooky. These are Mammatus clouds over my house.

Flying Saucers over Alabama Hills, CA

A couple of images from Lannercost Abbey fit the brief.

Lastly from North Yorkshire

 

[Jim Dockery]

Not a landscape. Taken in a gun emplacement at Fort Ebey state park, WA. I blended in another shot of my nephew running through the tunnel.

That greenish light sure makes it spooky with the ghost of your nephew.

This slot canyon is named Spooky. The best light is around midday, but the next day was forecast to be very rainy, so I just went in in the evening anyway. That let me have it all to myself, anyway. Got back to the FJ just as it was headlamp time.

My idea of spooky must be different...
Thinks that have creeped me out for no particular reason.

And one for fun ...

 

[John Holbrook]

Trees are spooky too! (Edited a B&W image to create a “spooky” atmosphere).

 

[Littlefield]

Some spooky scenes from down near South Carolina coast.

My wife would agree with your interpretation of Motel 6. Very clever on the last image, Craig.
