Nicely seen and cleverly composed

Ayr

I was in Ayr for family reasons. I did take advantage of the one morning when it did not rain to explore a little. I just had my phone.

Some nice stuff here, despite using a phone.
The first has great light, I like the branch in the sea pic but what is that crazy white building?

Some additional photos from previous Saturday.

These look so bracing. I just truned my heating up.

Saturday morning

The sun appeared this morning from behind the grey, so I took a stroll along the lane.

Every time I pass this field corner I eye it up for a nice composition but find it difficult. This time I actually had a camera with me and the sun was shining, but still struggled.

A little further along this unusual plant grows at the side of the road. It's Daphne laureola, a british native of shady woodland on limestone. Not actually rare, but not every-day either. There's just the one plant, and I fear it will succumb to over zealous verge trimming sooner or later. Missed focus on the first, but it gives an idea of how the whole plant look - unremarkable.

The flowers are just opening, but unlike most daphnes, there is no scent 😞

Brilliant! Well spotted.

Nice northern wintery light in these. I only visited Ayr town once while we were living up there, on a cold windy day, but this looks much more pleasant than what I remember! Were you there over Burn's Night? I imagine it's quite big in Ayr.

Yes, a tricky one. Maybe you need to be inside the pen. I dare you.

More wonderful scenes.

There's a big 'PRIVATE' notice on the gate... I think the ewes will be lambing soon. But yes, it's tempting.

If anyone challenges you, say I gave you permission.

Winter variety

Great White Frozen North (Toronto, Canada) is in a grip of winter with the longest spell (a month) of freezing temps { - 15C to - 25C (5F to -13F)}. Global warming at it's best.

Great combination of colours.

Very peaceful and superb rendition.

Looks like Arctic...

Crisp and sharp.

Doesn't look very warm to me. Wouldn't want to be standing underneath one of those when they break off.

This is has a weird visual effect. When I came across the picture, my eye was drawn to the Mona Lisa. it took a few seconds for the mannequin to register, and the again a few seconds for the man on the round column to appear.

I really like the white desert, with the distant city, in the first shot.

Just colours !

Maybe a close in portrait of the ram, might make a good picture with those lovely horns.
