Rural layers

This image, captured in a rural area of north Yorkshire, not only pays due deference to the ‘rule of thirds’, but also meets the brief of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week:

CFFC: Horizontal Line(s)

Cellpic Sunday: Lift your gaze

I wonder how many busy and distracted travellers on the concourse of King’s Cross Station in London take the time to lift their gaze to admire the dramatic ceiling.

Lens-Artists Challenge: Cabbages

What could be more mundane than a cabbage? Even a red one?

These red cabbages, cut into halves or quarters, were on sale at the Saturday market in the city of Perigueux. Opened up like this, it’s possible to appreciate the complex layering of the leaves.

Just Another Broken Heart…

Well, a fallen rose petal anyway.

Dizzying

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week calls for images of squares and/or rectangles.

This trompe l’oeil image is, in fact, a section of a tiled floor in Beverley Minster. The 3D effect is quite something.

Lens-Artists Challenge: Cool colours

This is a detail of a variety of golden fern – or so the internet tells me. That’s definitely a cool shade of green, though.

(Sorry, but I cannot bring myself to spell ‘colour’ without the ‘u’.)

Lens-Artists Challenge: cool colours

Cellpic Sunday: Dullsville

Well at least they’re honest folk in Beverley…

Monochrome Madness: At the beach

Not all dogs are afraid of water. This pooch is frolicking very happily at the beach of Watson’s Bay, near Sydney.

From the shadows

Great to see that Cee is feeling well enough to resurrect some of her challenges – they’ve been greatly missed. More importantly, so has Cee herself: welcome back.

This is a flower we’ve had growing in one of our raised beds for a long time. I was particularly attracted by the long shadows, which give some extra depth to the image.
