In the old cafe at the rural museum in Montrol-Sénard there’s a wood-burning stove range. This is one of the hotplates.
Symmetry in a cactus

Cee’s Black & White theme this week is the wide-ranging one of ‘all about nature’
The monochrome treatment of this image of the centre of a round cactus really helps to highlight the inherent symmetry to be found in nature
The Old Tractor

I saw this at an exhibition of ancient tractors last summer. I wonder how many miles this one has on the clock.

Although this looks a little like a lunar landscape, in fact this photograph was taken on Sir Bani Yas island in Abu Dhabi. The long shadows of approaching sunset provide plenty of detail.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Rocks, Boulders, Stones
The Wind Tower
Posted on December 7, 2018
Cee’s theme for this week’s Black & White Photo Challenge is ‘Hot and/or Cold’. Here is an image that encapsulates both. This is a wind tower in al-Bastakiya – what’s left of the old part of Dubai. It works on the principle of drawing in the desert breezes at the top and funneling them down to provide a cooler draught at ground level. Air-conditioning, in other words.
