There is a certain peacefulness to the mist-filled landscapes captured by photographer Svetlana Bailey.
A lack of people and a dissipation of colors caused by the smokey haze gives her photography the quiet mellowness of an early morning dream experienced by a person who hasn't yet reached full consciousness. Each image focuses on a central figure, such as a cluster of balloons attached to a seemingly deserted unicycle or a mysterious boat that appears to have no one aboard. Through Bailey's lens, the otherwise normal objects become hauntingly strange and out of the ordinary.
This landscape photography series by Svetlana Bailey will appeal to those who see the beauty in the everyday and want to be able to notice the strange and unnatural occurrences that actually happen all the time.
