Back In The Real World

Windmill at Sunset

I love windmills! Not just because of their eco technology but also because of their architectural beauty.

These photos were shot on my ipod, hence the noisy quality. But I kind of like that.

Distant Fire

Yesterday’s dawn was like a distant fire, too far away to warm!

The World in Black and White

When it snows in winter, I love the way the trees are so black and spindly, like drawings on rough paper, and as it snows more, the paper becomes whiter…

Birds beyond the hedge

Birds beyond the hedge

Lots of Fieldfares and Lapwings around yesterday. My photos weren’t that great, but I like this one with the Fieldfares in the distance.

Sunrise this morning

A cold and frosty start to the day with a gorgeous sunrise always puts me in a good mood!

Setting Sun in the Trees

Setting Sun in Trees

I took this photo a few weeks ago. It inspired me to make a new mosaic, you can see my drawings on my other blog here

Pegs at Sundown

Pegs at Sundown

It was getting too dark for my little camera to cope with a sharp shot last night. But I am really pleased with the way the photo has blurred and the pegs have a shadow making it look like a cross between a photogram and a photomontage.

Distant Land in the Sky

Distant Land in the Sky

I love it when the clouds beneath the sun look like distant lands.
