Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Anything Made From Wood
Lawyers With A Heart?
Posted on July 7, 2017
Cee’s challenge this week is to post an image of a sign.
I spotted this outside the offices of a firm of advocates in Confolens, just at the right time of day to get the interesting shadow.

There are seven feet in this image of a sheep being shorn. Can you spot them all?

A pair of kites – which actually were black and white – flying together in a stiff breeze at the annual Esteval air show just outside the nearby village of Blond.
Chandelier
Posted on June 16, 2017
Answering this week’s theme of ‘Lights’ for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge is this massive chandelier (note the scale of the human figures in the background) in Dubai Mall. I’m not sure it’s one of the fanciest I’ve ever seen, but it’s certainly one of the biggest.
Macro Moments Challenge #39: Black & White
Posted on June 10, 2017
Macro Moments Challenge #39 looks for something in black & white; or something that is black and white. Either way, I think this fits the bill: a close-up of the characteristic top of one of my small collection (accumulated over a period of more than thirty years) of Mont Blanc Meisterstuck writing instruments.
Like most people, I imagine, my writing nowadays is usually done with a keyboard, but whenever the need or opportunity arises I still like to use an old-fashioned fountain pen. My absolute favourite is the big old Mont Blanc 149 that I bought in 1985. This is a smaller version, sitting in a mug on my desk.
