Mundane: But Who Will Frame The Framers?
Posted on December 19, 2016
The’Mundane Mondays’ Challenge asks us either to find a kind of beauty in, or find a beautiful frame for, the commonplace. This one might be a bit off-piste, as it were, but for a challenge where framing is important I couldn’t resist this sign, outside a picture-framer’s workshop (‘encadrerie’) in the village of Gargilesse, in central France.

Posted on December 17, 2016
With its half-closed eyes and its nose working overtime, this giraffe in the game rerserve on Sir Baniyas Island in Abu Dhabi appears to be looking forward to its next meal with great anticipation.

This Bonobo monkey at Valleé des Singes looks like it’s squaring up to the knotted rope:
Thursday Doors: Honfleur
Posted on December 15, 2016
Honfleur is a small port in north-west France, at the mouth of the Seine. Now dwarfed by its neighbour Le Havre, back in the Middle Ages it was a key European trading entrepôt.
We made a detour on our route back from Zeebrugge to home to have a look. Unfortunately, it was the middle of a long bank holiday weekend so, despite it being the end of October, the harbour area was very crowded.
In the back streets, though, and more specifically in the rather menacingly named Rue de la Prison, I came across some interesting old doors, the first one with a highly topical question posed outside:
And finally, with a welcome splash of colour:

52 Weeks Photo Challenge: Week 19 – View
Posted on December 13, 2016
Have I got views for you. So many to choose from, but here’s a view – taken on a lovely calm, sunny day at the end of October this year – of the harbour at St Andrews in Scotland:

Mundane? Bus Stop
Posted on December 12, 2016
This bus stop was actually adjacent to the watchman’s hut that I featured last week. It’s ‘just’ a bus stop, but I liked the symmetry, the angularity of the shadows and the warm glow of the morning sun through the plastic walls.
Weekly Photo Challenge: New Horizon
Posted on December 10, 2016
The first time we visited Muscat, in Oman, we went on a sunset cruise, so this was a new horizon for us at the time.
