I rather like this.. nice contrast between the tarmac and nature.
Hope you're not too ill.

Thanks Helen.

In the mend thanks, despite another positive test today

That’s a very nice shot Nick. I had something similar to post but it wasn’t nearly as good, so I went with something completely different.

Week 13 - Flora

Finally got a negative covid test this morning, so headed out first thing. It was a lovely cold, frosty and sunny morning, and I spotted these backlit bullrushes which I thought would fit this weeks theme.

 

[AlanDorset]

Nice to get sunshine on the subject, especially with Flora

 

[Peter123]

Well exposed, backlit suits these flora.

 

[Nikon_Nick]

Nicely done Nick. The backlighting really suits the subject.

I really like the hard lighting, and the light to dark fade in the BG.

Week 14 - Unusual

Around 10 years ago, my Wife and I were having a look around a local craft shop, where the owners(local artists) hand made most of the items they sold. This was one of those items, and I thought it was so unusual that I bought it

 

[wornish]

Certainly fits the theme. Lovely clock or is it watch/broach?

 

[Darkslinger]

Very unusual Nick, very Dali-esque.

 

[Cloudforest]

Never seen one like that before Nick.

 

[Nikon_Nick]

Certainly fits the theme. Lovely clock or is it watch/broach?

Thanks, yes it’s a clock.

 

[Chevin]

Nice image of a very unusual clock ... as Darkslinger says ... very Dali-esque

 

[SimonH]

Bang on theme. A very interesting piece.

Thanks Chaps

 

[Bebop]

Definitely unusual. I'm not sure why, but it makes me think of Alice in Wonderland.

Well photographed. I like the lighting and choice of background.

That's lovely and highly unusual. I can see why you bought it. Nicely shot too.

I'd much rather have that than the vaguely similar timepiece I have draped over the edge of a shelf here! Nicely captured too.

Taken on a misty/hazy morning on Saturday, whilst out near Saffron Walden.

 

[Peter123]

Nice moody shot Nick.
Instils calm in me.

 

[Nikon_Nick]

Thanks Peter. I really love going out at that time of the day.
