Monochrome Madness – Window

One of my favourite mono images. It’s one of the many exotic windows at the Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh, showing a reflection of the Queen’s Gallery at Holyrood Palace.

Offered in response to Leanne’s Monochrome Madness challenge – which you can link to HERE

Shapes on Clydeside

The seductive shapes of the modern buildings at the Clydeside waterfront. If there’s any light at all, there are many opportunities for dramatic architectural images. I’ve tried here to find some compositions that perhaps are a bit out of the ordinary.

The area is a focus for entertainment, conference and media headquarters, but currently it’ll be very quite inside the venues like the Hydro, SECC, the Armadillo, the Science Centre and the Imax. I’m not at all sure when I’ll see it all again. Missing Glasgow!

Patio Table

It’s just a fairly standard patio table and chair. Cast in aluminium sections, bolted together and given a matt black finish. And the strong sun recreating its patterns on the ground, while the rays reflect from the jet black table surface making for white over black background.

Let there be light!

Toast

Toast

I dreamt I was awake all night,
a tumbling waterfall of thoughts,
Strange environments, late for meetings.
Where did I leave the car?
Why am I shouting at this person?
I dreamt all night I was awake.

And now,
I’m in the kitchen opening the blinds
to the warmth and love of sunshine
….and of toast
