Is this elephant wild?

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.

Rough And Rocky

I would strongly advise against trying to negotiate your way across these rocks on the shore at Pittenweem. There are surely easier ways to break an ankle.

Matching Tiles

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.

Horny

A few sets of impressive’looking horns on view here in this group of oryx at Al Ain Zoo in the United Arab Emirates.

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.

Crossing The Bridge

You could, of course, drive any of the vehicles in this image, but there is no doubt that the real star is the already iconic Forth Crossing that links Edinburgh with the Kingdom of Fife.

Through A Window

The windows of the open-air memorial of Oradour-sur-Glane are all devoid of glass but offer many perspectives of what lies beyond.

Bramble-Resistant

For her Black & White Challenge this week, Cee wants to see a concrete structure.

So be it. This concrete pylon supports the electricity cables that still deliver power out here in the sticks. They are obviously pretty durable, as they have to be, but nothing is going to stop the ubiquitous brambles from having a go.
