*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2025.08.09 ***

Beautiful examples.

Wow Chris, could be sharper but this one is stunning.

Read my lips!
Brick Lane London

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 :-)

A couple of notable trees.

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...

Those tree roots are impressive.

Looks like you have lots of nice walks in your area.

I've not really given up on The Lakes, but I'm still suffering from some health issues that put me off driving the sort of distances it takes for me to get there from where I live. So, for the time being at least, The Lakes are beyond my reach and I'm stuck in the local area.

Thanks, yeah, a varied combination of feeling off colour, hot weather and having other things to do has limited my photographic activities over the past few weeks and on the odd occasion when I have ventured out with a camera, I've been bit uninspired with what I've captured. Hopefully I'll start getting back into the swing of things over the next few weeks.

That's a fine old set of roots. The way they're clinging onto the rocks is quite impressive, although, if the rock runs right under the tree base, there's probably not a lot of deep purchase there to keep it upright.

Love the moody sky and mixed lighting in the first as well as the colour and textures in the 2nd.

Another finely captured set. The amount of skill and craftsmanship in these ancient buildings is always inspiring. You've been lucky to get strong side light while taking the images of the carvings, it really draws out the details in them.

The interior light and colours in the frescos are pleasing too.

This one reminds me of something. Were there four other elements arranged around this central element? A fifth element, you might say?
