*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2025.08.30 ***

It took me a second look at this picture to see the guy is floating in space.

Something different this time. Nice play of shadow and light.

I like these two the best in this set. Reminds me that it will soon be Blueberry time in the Apennines.

Whitbarrow

Last weekend we took some friends for a walk up onto Whitbarrow Scar. This is a huge whale-back of limestone that rises along the skyline we look out at from home.
The lower slopes are thickly wooded, though still deeply weathered into typical limestone pavements. It feels a little odd to have to pick your way carefully over the ankle breaking grikes while surrounded by woodland. Tiny streams also appear from nowhere (and disappear too).

Emerging onto the summit you encounter a different world - windswept ridges of bare rock and scattered stunted trees.

Many of the ash trees are suffering badly with ash dieback, probably made more vulnerable by the harsh growing conditions and lack of water.

A haunting landscape.

These are gorgeous, especially the light in the last. Good to see you back with the birds!

These type of bridges are so elegant. The doorway to the pieve looks interesting with the two-tiered column effect.

This is a really fine shot. Yes, the backlit grasses are wonderful, but so are the little details like the bit of fence on the left, and the trees with their shadows in the mid ground. I prefer this to the 'ray of light' one.

Gorgeous. And a wonderful memento. What is it made of? Ceramic?

Sometimes our ornaments in our homes have a backstory that makes the extra precious.

I brought some things home from my late mothers home that have no value, but remind me of my childhood.

This looks like a landscape full of photographic possibilities. These are my favourites. I love these wild sort of landscapes.

Maybe a return visit on a sunny day to bring out the shadows.

I rather like this one.

Partial colour ? suits well here with this dot on right.

Thanks!
I agree that portrait crop works better in this case, thanks for suggestion.

Interesting scene, with such light patches it almost looks like there is canopy high above.

This photo has interesting light going on left side.
Bridge is nice, sleek looking.

I like these 2 shots but the area around sun is distracting. If there is anything I’d like to improve in modern cameras then it’s highlight protection, in lights, sun etc.

Return visit definitely on the agenda - but without the accompanying friends 😉

Interesting landscape, at some places look like walls built by ancient civilizations. And these trees, they could provide multitude of photo possibilities.
