    I really like the nice gentle light in this shot. The twisty trees are nice too.

    The lakes are a lovely corner of Britain.

    Most of them are from the 1930's to the 1960's, with a few modern pencils as well. Yard O Led, is my favourite brand as the complicated mechanism is interesting, and they hold 1000mm or 36 inches of led.

    I mostly buy on Ebay, for the vintage stuff, and a pen shop for new pencils. A few years ago you could buy vintage pencils for very little. Prices are starting to get silly.

    Love the colours in this, and those strong diagonals of course.

    These are beautiful. I like that you have to really peer into them to pick out the details, like letting your eyes ajust to the darkness.

    I love nice smooth writing pencils. Nice photos with plenty of detail.

    The weather has been really too wet and miserable here too. The first shot is my favourite too

    I really missed the snow, but not that much of it.

    So funny. Yes, they're not going anywhere.

    I like the different colours here. But IMO the lower third is not necessary here, it starts to compete for attention.

    Interesting trees indeed, I like mostly the middle tree here with moss (?) growing on it, that would have been interesting subject in itself.

    Very interesting, I like the colours here, outside colours seem to be affected from tinted glass?

    My first impression from first photo was some military (gun or dagger) collection, impression caused from the ornamented metal. These old art-of-work tools (and buildings, machinery, cameras etc.) are much better looking than nowadays mass-produced cost-effective solutions.

    Great shots, I like these delicate colours creeping up in horizon. To me the darkness works well for mood.
