This week’s photo challenge is Evanescent – something which does not last.
The sky changes from moment to moment. Here are two photos taken at each end of an afternoon walk along St Bees beach. The dark clouds had moved and the viewpoint had changed.
This week the photo challenge from the Daily Post is Heritage.
There has been an increase in the popularity of street art in recent years. Not the art of pavement artists, whose work in chalk is washed away by heavy rain, but more permanent art on the walls of buildings.
I have made a few attempts at snapping a scene from Gulliver’s Travels. Shadows cast by neighbouring buildings usually prevent the painting from being seen at its best. However my photo taken in March this year is more evenly lit. The connection between the book and the site of this illustration is that the author, Jonathan Swift, lived in Whitehaven as a young child.
This week’s photo challenge from the Daily Post is Reflecting.
Unlike parts of north America, the UK has been enjoying a spell of dry weather. Hubby and I made a trip to the western side of largest expanse of water in the English Lake district – Windermere. There was hardly a breeze and the waves were lapping gently on the shore.
The photo I have chosen is the one with the clearest reflections. What is different about this photo is that the white masts are strongly contrasting with the woodland behind them. This gives a clearer reflection than where the contrast is less. Reflections of the masts against the sky are less distinct.
I am planning to post other photos from the same trip in future posts in the Visitor Attraction category.
