Lens-Artists Challenge – Silence
Posted on November 4, 2024
This week’s theme of ‘silnce’ is an interesting one: how to convey the idea of silence through an image.
It seemed to me that silence could be conflated with tranquility and restfulness, and somehow that led me to this image of part of the foreshore in the fishing village of Pittenweem on the east coast of Scotland. With all potential distractions cropped away, it feels quite meditative – almost like a Zen garden.
Lens-Artist Challenge: Rock Your World

“Rose-red city, half as old as time”
There is nowhere on earth quite like Petra. The sheer scale of the monuments themselves is mind-boggling, but the natural context of weathered sandstone in which they are set may be even more so (spot the human figure).
Lens-Artists Challenge: Empty Spaces

The Emirate of Dubai isn’t just the city itself – that’s probably the least attractive part of it – but quite a lot of empty desert and mountainous terrain, like this at the old Hatta Fort Hotel.

This rock formation in St Andrews juts out accusingly into the North Sea.
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.

Desert Landscape

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.

A Nod To Escher
Posted on October 14, 2016
This photograph is of part of a ruined monastery (I think) in Sarlat, a medieval town in the Dordogne.
This week, Cee is looking for images of rocks. You could perhaps argue that these are stones rather than rocks, but what exactly is the difference between a stone and a rock?
Well, according to Wikipedia (so it must be true), stone is rock that’s had a bit of work done on it. Still made of rock though, I’d argue.
Judiciously cropped, as here, it reminded me of something that M C Escher might have produced.
