What’s round the corner?

Out for a walk through a housing scheme, wandering through streets of attractive modern homes, mostly modern flats near the harbour. Turned a corner and was surprised – just didn’t expect to see the glass factory. There it was dominating the view. And people live daily with the view, accept it. Hopefully it doesn’t bother them. I’d hope the factory is not a source of noise, or any other concern to the residents.

Submitting this responding to the Lens-Artists Challenge #380 – ‘What’s Round the Corner?’ – set up by Anne at the Slow Shutter Speed blog – see here. This challenge is getting such a variety of responses, it’s worthy of investigation.

This will be one of a series of blogs from me, showing just the one photograph. I seem to have accumulated a number of images that don’t quite form into a cohesive post. We’ll see how it goes. Hopefully it’ll give more focus to individual images for a while.

Here it is in Black and White

So here I am, back on-line again after a short illness – also recovered from the Euros!! – and things are about the same as they were before – feels restrictive despite recent changes. And so I’m grateful for Anne Saddler setting the Lens-Artists Challenge this week and her chosen topic, Black & White, is a favourite of mine. A subject I can get my teeth into.

Startling Symmetry

The search for symmetry, and the emotional pleasure we derive when we find it, must help us make sense of the the seasons and the reliability of friendships.
Alan Lightman

In taking photographs, I more commonly seek to change out of a symmetrical view. I try mostly to get an angle on the subject and to achieve some flow through or around the image.

Victorian Gothic

“There was something awesome in the thought of the solitary mortal standing by the open window and summoning in from the gloom outside the spirits of the nether world.”
Arthur Conan Doyle

Some of the amazing Victorian architecture on the Roseneath Peninsula, Argyll and Bute.
