The guitar
Posted on January 22, 2022
Cee’s theme for this week’s Black & White Challenge is anything to do with music.
My grandson is, though I say so myself, a very talented guitarist and this image is a detail of his electric guitar – or, more accurately, one of his electric guitars.

White swans
Posted on January 16, 2022
This week, I present a rare example of me multi-tasking. The image of these swans was captured by the lake next to Linlithgow Palace and it fulfils the criteria not only for Cee’s Midweek Challenge, where the prompt was ‘white’, but also her Black & White Challenge, for which the theme was ‘birds’.

Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week is animals, either wild or farmed. We are encouraged to be creative, however, so here is an image of an elaborate wall hanging that’s on display in the Japanese galleries of the Victoria & Albert Museum (the V&A) in London.

The white tiled background gives you a fair idea of which room in a Scottish hotel this particular example of decorative carrosserie is to be found.

At Anchor, Pittenweem

Fishing boats at anchor in the inner harbour of Pittenweem.
Approaching Menace

There is something faintly threatening in this silhouette of a French military helicopter against a backdrop of looming clouds. Not to worry though, it was only at a nearby air display a few years ago.
Sunset Over St. Monan’s

Looking from one Scottish fishing to another – Pittenweem towards St. Monan’s – the setting sun highlights the top of a fence, which really makes the shot.
