Cosmic: Symmetry

Posted on May 19, 2026

I’ve just encountered the ‘Cosmic Photo Challenge’ for the first time and, as this week’s topic is ‘symmetry’, which happens to be one of my favourite photographic themes, I thought I would play along.

This is a view from below of the ceiling/roof of one of the new buildings being constructed in Guédelon, in central France. It’s a new build castle complex, but using only medieval construction methods. Its an absolutely fascinating project to visit.

Monochrome Madness: On The Roof

Posted on March 25, 2026

The latest Monochrome Madness challenges us to look up and see what’s on the roof.

In this case it’s fallen leaves that have come off the many trees we have in our fields. As nature takes its course they drift off on the wind and settle wherever fate takes them. Here they’re on the roof of our laverie (basically, its the utility room, but housed in a separate building), which accounts for the slates. The metal sheeting is the roof of a potting shed that was tacked on to the back just after we moved here.

I think this image ticks the ‘strong leading lines’ box.
