Nice shot Simon. Hard to get shots like this without heavy shadow ruining the image, you've done a good job.

Thanks all - as with most of my contributions, it's more luck than judgment. I tend not to plan or think stuff out too much, just see a shot and snap it!

Week 32 - Internal(s)
Lawks, where does the time go?
Three goes at this week's challenge.
The inside of our washing machine. Not the shot I wanted, but the best of those I took without reflections or door paraphernalia. Ideal I wanted the roundness of the door in a circular shaped shot, but I haven't got the PP skills to do that, so this doesn't make the submitted post for me.

The internals of my Canon printer - looking a bit mucky now to be honest, but its served me well over the years.

One of our food cupboards. Please don't judge me....

Good set Simon, the food cupboard made me laugh... 
Your Washer could make and interesting abstract if you maybe focused in a little closer on the sides of the drum.

The manky printer works for me and the colour adds to it.

Thanks Helen.
I did think about a crop, and I think your probably right, but thought I’d lose too much of the interior detail.

Week 33 - Square(s)
Well I'm still struggling to keep up here, through my own fault of either getting ready to go on a holiday, or being on a holiday (we're seriously making up for the last two years) or if not doing that, playing golf or gardening - it's tough being retired....and I'm finding it hard to devote much time to my photography with the weeks just whizzing by.
With theme eve looming tomorrow and nothing in the bag yet for this week's them, I've done a quick wander round the house and come up with the following shot on my iPhone 13 Pro. Hopefully it at least ticks the box...
This is my conservatory floor, shot in mono with a fairly strong vignette to hopefully draw the eye to what's an otherwise plain shot.

Same idea, no vignette, but part of my patio.

And finally, my front door with has some nice squares, but sadly it also shows up how scabby the door is.

A good set Simon, I rather like the second image with the offset tiles.

Week 34 - Small
By the skin of my teeth…..
apologies for not commenting on folks posts this week - I’m away in Corfu with a really dodgy Wi-Fi connection and, frankly other things in my mind…
So here's my slightly shoehorned contribution for this week. Way, way, in the distance, and looking very, very small, is the hotel we're staying in at Agios Georgios in north western Corfu, after a 4 mile, 1,000 foot plus ascent in +30° heat

Well shot Simon.
