Another dramatic image of the ceiling of Beverley Minster.

Well, a fallen rose petal anyway.

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
Posted on August 27, 2024
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’.)

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.
Lens-Artists Challenge: sense of scale
Posted on August 19, 2024
The Minster dominates the skyline of the Yorkshire town of Beverley. It’s not a cathedral – although I’ve been in smaller churches that are counted as such. However it is, apparently, the largest parish church in England. I’m not surprised.
The vaulted ceiling of the nave reaches 65 feet above floor level (the nave itself is over 170 feet long). I think this image conveys a sense of the scale of the building. I captured it by dint of setting the timer on my iPhone, (using the Snap Pro app), placing it on the floor and beating a hasty retreat to get out of shot.
Cellpic Sunday: Sound of an English summer

A sunny summer’s day in Yorkshire, and the sound of willow on leather…
Monochrome Madness: Things In the garden
Posted on August 16, 2024
This image was captured in the Botanic Gardens in Sydney. As usual, I have no idea what it is, but the petal was a creamy white, so the monochrome conversion was already halfway there.
