Wow Chris, could be sharper but this one is stunning.
Front woman a bit OOF but that only serves to draw attention to the two at the rear who appear to be the same person in very differing outfits. Remarkable shot.
I really like the lighting in this shot !
Compoition is good too :-)
I havn't done any photography this week but here's some from earlier... A short walk up Arnside Knot on the way home from the recyling centre!
Arnside Knot is one of the several humps of limestone that stick up out of the lower lying ground on the south side of the Lake District. They all have interesting trees and other flora. This mighty beech was growing at the side of the main track up. I liked the way the roots interact with the rock.
There are great views from the top across the Kent estuary towards Grange-over-Sands, but it was these 'topiary' yews that caught my eye. I've seen this effect with grazed hawthorn bushes, and in mediterranean countries with evergreen oak, but I didn't think anything ate yew - it's highly toxic to most creatures - but something obvously likes to nibble these. I later learned from a neighbour that sheep will graze yew with impunity, hence the curious effect.
What a gem. Nice stripey effect with the different rock types on the facade - remember seeing this a lot in Corsica.
Wonderful architecture, and wonderful northern light.
Yes, those roots are something. Like a hand gripping the soil and rock. And I also thought Yew was safe from munchers.
Wonderful story, and excellent shots.
Glad to see you back - I'd been wondering where you'd got to these last couple of weeks.
oops wrong thread...
