Camouflage

A patterned summer dress blends almost seamlessly into this tiled wall near Zocodover Plaza in Toledo, Spain. Inspiration strikes when you least expect it so however distracted you are, however dull the embers of your fire, all it takes is one spark. Be ready.

Freeroam

How often do you wish you could just free roam, shake off your earthbound body and simply observe the world, unnoticed? Would you embrace the opportunity or would you refuse, bound by the same fear of falling that you already experience every single day? Featured as Aminus3.com spotlight image, 29th September 2014.
