Once a week—or every so often—I will display one of my photos captured and/or processed with Instagram over the last week. It’s a way for me to show photography that usually is quite different from my regular work. The pictures are displayed without any comments, hoping they will stand on their own. But I still very much appreciate any comments you may have.
In Flow with Otto 
I love everything about this: the clouds the stark contrasts…
Thank you, Dale.
Looks like the Nuns will need umbrellas soon! Nice work!
It looked like – and in the end they would indeed need the umbrella.
The story is in their faces. There is a determination about them.
Dark skies threatening, but just getting on with things
They were very determent. Thanks for the comment.
I like your observation
Thank you, Sue.
Splendid.
Thank you, Paula.
I feel the weather there – the cool or chilly breeze touch you face..
Yes, it was a day with a lot of weather. 🙂
What a wonderful portrait. It reminded me of last October, when some friends and I came across a group of nuns on the beach near Galveston. One was wading in the water, one was drawing, and two or three were reading. They were in full habit, perfectly willing to chat, and had the same twinkle in their eyes that I see in this pair.
We often think of nuns (and monks) being serious, so all the more fun to see when they enjoy life.
Striking contrast image, Otto. By the way, they do have an umbrella and for sure they will share it.
Yes, the rain came down a little later. Thank you for the comment, Cornelia.
My eye is drawn to the house art in contrast with the houses in the background. The nuns are an interesting counterpoint to that.
I always like to play with more elements, so I am happy you noticed. Thank you for the feedback, Linda.
These woman certainly look like they are on a mission. Perhaps they are determined to reach their destination before the storm hits. They seem to have such purpose.
I am not sure what their aim was, but they sure were determined.
Just love it.
Thank you.
I missed this on IG, so appreciate seeing it here.
Can’t keep up with everything, can we… 🙂
I know I can’t 🤷♀️
cold, blue nuns…. i like this picture a lot, Otto
I am glad you do. Thank you, Elaine.
Last autumn we visited a Texas beach along the Gulf of Mexico and were surprised to see a group of nuns there.
They are all over!
Seems like the nuns have a goal and will reach it, come rain or more rain. Nice photo.
Thank you.
Otto, this photo made me smile. Did they notice you photographing them? I really enjoyed the whole composition, including the heavy, angry clouds against the calming presence of the two nuns walking side by side, taking center stage. Great shot!!
Thank you for the feedback, Gilda. And no, they did not notice me when I took the photo.
Had it rained, I wonder if they shared the umbrella. Fine composition with them front and almost center but so much else to enjoy both in the harbortown and the sky. The taller of the two seems more placid and the shorter a bit concerned with the photographer. 🙂
Would be hard to keep social distancing, wouldn’t it, if they shared the umbrella…
I like how the color blue repeats itself within this image. And the expressions on their faces make me smile. One looks happy. The other looks like she’s ready to rap someone across the back of the hand with a ruler! (Maybe that guy walking toward her with a camera?)
Yes, I would be careful to upset her! And I realize I could have been in great danger…
Their habit seems similar to Mother Teresa’s.

I was wondering about and if they belong to the same order.
There are those wet Bergen skies you were talking about, and a pair of very interesting women. Well done, Otto! Have a great weekend. 🙂
Thank you, Lynn. I hope you had a great weekend, too.
Hm, dessa nunnor känner jag inte igen…och du träffade på dem i Bergen, intressant!?
Att de har med sig paraply känns lite roligt, det regnar ju då och då i vackra Bergen…
Det hender at regner i Bergen, ja…
A fascinating portrait of the two nuns (nurses?) – with a good story.
I think they are nuns. Someone else indicated the same order as Mother Teresa.
Wonderful shot, Otto. That waste bin really does blend in well. 🙂
Thank you, Sylvia.
Interesting and nice photo. Love the Bergen light !
In summer, it’s quite special, isn’t it. 🙂
