Why does he do it?

Welcome to my occasional blog where I post and comment on any pictures I think are worth a word or two. Hope you enjoy them and the comments might be of some use.

Rather proud of my messing around with this photo.

Showed it to a group of friends the other night and and they were divided on whether it was an improvement on the original or not.

That is what I like to achieve, controversy and discussion and people thinking and communicating.

Or the longer lead in, suggesting the rail lines but I couldn't get that and the daylight view through the tunnel

Choice time. Which to prefer? This is the closerpicture, more of the frame is filled, Lead in in slight green, a view through about on a third, and a repeating frame of the second arch.

tree and pond

I have take innumerable pictures of this tree and dew pond, in the snow, in the spring, in the summer, at sunset, reflections of the tree in the water etc. I just find it aesthetically pleasing somehow. It is in the fields behind our house about 5 minutes walk away.
Today the wind was stiff, the sky had puffy clouds and the atmosphere could only be called fresh.
You can't hear the lorries and motorbikes roaring down the bypass from the photograph.
You can't hear the birds singing.
You can't feel the wind on your cheek and neck.
You can't smell the odour from the dog food factory on the industrial estate upwind.

Enjoy the photograph for any emotions, feeling or senses it does engender in you.

I actually took this on Sunday at Skipsea beach. I am only publishing it to see how this blog thing works and it may well disappear as soon as I get a few more pictures taken.

Welcome to my blog

Well Erik has set me off on a future of blogging!

This is one for photos which I have taken and I particularly like.

I will start posting as soon as I have taken something worthy of this site. It will be at infrequent intervals, not too far apart hopefully.

Hopefully I will enjoy seeking, seeing, capturing, presenting and publishing images which can elicit a feeling or emotion from you, the viewer.
