    Rioja

    I have nothing new to share this week, so taking my cue from Chris, here's another homage to Frank Gehry. Bodega Marques de Riscal, Elcigo, Spain.

    This is a lovely pastoral scene.

    In both of these I find the very dark foreground a bit distracting. Maybe lift the shadows a bit there... or is there something unpleasant hiding there? 😉

    Stunning. The light works so well for the subject too.

    Wild, but so contemporary..

    I like the coloured confusion of the fist frame, as you look to figure out what it is.

    Afternoon Walks

    A collection of shots from a couple of afternoon wanders this week. I think I'm still recovering from last weeks FluVID as I've been absolutely knackered during these relatively short walks (2-3 miles). I had hoped to get up onto the moors, but reality intervened on that front as just getting to the access gate leading to the moors exhausted me. So instead, I've settled for a couple of wanders around Healey Nab, Anglezarke and The Goit.

    All taken with the Z8 and either the 24-70 f/2.8S, 70-180 f/2.8 or 100-400 f/4.5-5.6VRS (on each walk I was carrying the 24-70 plus one of the tele-zooms).

    Double Trouble

    Eventually, she moved a little way to the left of my frame, so I repositioned myself slightly, surprised she still didn't run. As I did, I spotted movement in the bush behind her, followed by another inquisitive face popping out from behind. I think there were at least three doe behind there.

    The deer steal the show in this Double Trouble is my pick in this set.
