Cellpic Sunday: A room without a view

A few weeks ago, my entry for Cellpic Sunday was a rather attractive view from a hotel room.

This is also a view from a (different) hotel room. Rather less prepossessing, but with a little judicious cropping and straightening in Lightroom it’s possible to produce a rather more interesting image.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Blue

After last week’s theme of ‘pink’ it’s quite natural for Frank to set us the challenge of ‘Blue’ this week.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Atop

Take a ride in the glass lift that’s now inside the bell-tower of the church and you will find yourself atop the medieval town of Sarlat, in the Dordogne, with matchless views over the tops of the old buildings:
