I wonder what the source of this image was. It's haunted me since I first saw it.

I think I originally found this image on Reddit. I like to occasionally browse r/LiminalSpace and r/Kenopsia for things like this, although sometimes it can be hard to find the gems among some of the less interesting stuff that's posted on there. I've got a little collection of similar kinds of pictures. After I downloaded the image off Reddit I played with the exposure and whatnot so it's not the original. I did some fairly extensive reverse image searching, and managed to find two other pictures of that location taken from different angles. One of them was taken by a German photographer, Jan Erik Waider, who primarily focuses on landscape photography in Northern countries like Norway, Iceland, and Greenland. His photo looks to be of the same location and it says it's from Iceland, so I guess there's your answer!
Here's the website I got that from:

There is a Flickr site with many of these type of images.

These are local photos of a Catholic church that burned down many years ago. They have no idea as to the cause. Perhaps it was arson by a victim of a pedophile priest. Or maybe it was just someone who didn't appreciate being lied to. There is a cemetery across the street. I wonder if the person sat there and watched the church burn. Or maybe it was just an electrical fire. It doesn't matter now. The statute of limitations is past.

Thank you, Souphead. Those buildings looked menacing in real life.
These are all compelling images, and very atmospheric. What are you using to create these? I'm pretty sure it was a foggy day...

Thank you for your comment, Ironrose.
I lower exposure on the camera and then use Google Photos or Pixlr to edit the photos. I usually experiment with brightness, contrast, and saturation. Sometimes they don't need a lot of editing if t's macro photography, for example. But atmospheric pictures require more work. And yes, foggy days help too.

I think you have, in the first two images in particular. I like the play of shadows and light in the first picture, and it looks like double exposure or some similar technique in the second one.
Thank you. I am trying... They are all double exposures, a phase I went through this past winter. They are all taken with a pinhole camera, using paper for a negative, then scanned in as a digital image and adjusted a little. I am always interested in sinister, but what I usually seem to capture is more fantastic and dreamy. I guess we must embrace our natural style!

And I would add to this, we can experiment. My style has changed over the years, and it might still change in the future. Maybe the same thing will happen to your style too.
