Monochrome Madness: Lots of little boats
Posted on October 9, 2026
Bushboy has set the theme of boats (‘lots of little boats’) for the latest Monochrome Madness challenge.
I’d argue that one of the most agreeable places on earth to find lots of little boats is the Grand Canal in Venice.
Monochrome Madness: Begins with ‘H’
Posted on July 9, 2025
An interesting challenge for the latest iteration of Monochrome Madness: can I spy something beginning with ‘H’?
Well yes, albeit after a little thought. This is the harbour of the city of La Rochelle, as the sun begins to set.
Lens-Artists Challenge: Mellow

I think this image fits the bill for the theme of this week’s challenge: another photograph taken last October in La Rochelle, in the ‘golden hour’ just before sunset.

The light of Golden hour adds a mood of serenity to this image of boats at anchor in the Vieux Port of the city of La Rochelle in western France.

I was surprised to find this model boat at an airshow, of all places. I may never look at Popeye in the same light again.

Judy at Lifelessons has had the brilliant idea of posting the last image from either your SD card or phone. As she says, it’s something to pass the time while we’re all in solitary confinement in isolation.
This, from my iPhone, is one of the model boats (pleasingly, the other is blue) that one of our neighbours floats onto the pond at the centre of our little hameau when the water level permits. As it’s rained more or less constantly since September, that is no constraint.
