A few from the library

Off to Musicport at Whitby tomorrow, (very excited) and hope to produce a whole tankful of good images, with acts like these it should be very possible, the line-up is really special.

 

  

Our Garden - A few late shots

Been a bit negligent in taking photographs of the garden, a project I started 3 or 4 years ago, designing and building decking areas, pergola, arches and raised beds. Looking back I wonder how it was achieved with my limited resources, and very proud that it was all my own work.
Liking a casual approach to life, there are plenty of seats and recliners, and a system of trellis fences to break up the area into smaller sections, with a loose theme with regard to garden ornaments, one being the seaside with driftwood, and the like.
Now going to sleep for the Winter, (the garden, not me) it is starting to look a little tattier, so I have only photographed a part of it.

I love the grace of grasses, and they are plants that can be left to their own devices, and we have tubs and baskets with begonias, geraniums and the like, to give Summer colour.
Should really empty the containers for a few bulbs, so will look at them in November.
Further plans for next year, replanting and and making another plant focus area.

Try to keep maintenance to a minimum, just watering and a bit of deadheading, things are reasonably high with the raised beds, so not much bending, which is a blessing.

I feel the garden has an architectural feel, and was planned as part of my recuperation process, and it helped a massive amount.

 

More Meddling With Mine

Old Railway Arch Workshops, decay and degradation, contrasts abound in London.

Bit of enhancement going on here, just loved the colours.

A composite of four images, so easy to do in Photoshop.Maybe not the most picturesque subject, but I do like to photograph them.

Old garden I passed in Rugby, it seemed to take a treatment of some sort.

Short Time In Shoreditch

Little trip to London on Saturday to visit a couple of places and have a general wander round.
Took lots of shots and have sensed a theme to develop in them, that will be fun to develop over the nexty few months. I seem to have shaken of the Monochrome Madness and now tend to see things in colour when editing. Some BW here though, just to balance things !

 

 

This building, no word for it, will probably be demolished soon.

Office Window Detail, wonder what the photograph is.

I found this street scene so vivid, all the colours and textures I loved.
Shot with a Canon prime lens of 85mm on a 700d, I find the sharpness in comparison to a zoom to be worth the framing limitations.
