Free-standing
Posted on October 1, 2024
The last photo I took in September, with my trusty iPhone 14 Pro, was this image of a stone archway in the village of Rancon.
The rules of Bushboy’s Last Photo Challenge are that you present that last photo ‘warts and all’, as it were. In other words without any editing.
So that’s what I’ve done here. However, on closer inspection I was so struck by the image that I’ve also smartened it up for the latest Lens-Artists Challenge. You can find that version here.

There’s a long-running saga about a pallet-full of old roof tiles that our builders have ‘parked’ with us temporarily for about the past ten years. To be fair, they have used some of them to repair a couple of minor leaks that sprang up during this period, but there are still plenty hanging around.

A particularly dramatic dusk one evening last week, here in the depths of the French countryside.
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:
Cellpic Sunday: Lift your gaze
Posted on September 8, 2024
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
Posted on September 8, 2024
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.
