Monochrome Madness: On The Roof

The latest Monochrome Madness challenges us to look up and see what’s on the roof.

In this case it’s fallen leaves that have come off the many trees we have in our fields. As nature takes its course they drift off on the wind and settle wherever fate takes them. Here they’re on the roof of our laverie (basically, its the utility room, but housed in a separate building), which accounts for the slates. The metal sheeting is the roof of a potting shed that was tacked on to the back just after we moved here.

I think this image ticks the ‘strong leading lines’ box.

Autumn colours are everywhere at the moment, but this tree in a shop’s car park was a particularly fine specimen, especially in the sunshine.

Lens-Artists Challenge: Autumn Colours

Well, it’s definitely that time of year again, and apart from the chillier mornings perhaps the most immediately noticeable sign that autumn is upon us is nature’s changing colour palette as the predominant greens steadily turn to reds and browns.

Lens-Artists Challenge: Filling The Frame

After a few days of almost constant high winds and driving rain, car parks everywhere were carpeted in newly fallen autumn leaves. Crop out the car tyre and my feet and you’re left with a frame-filling and colourful mosaic.
