I am going through my 2011 iPhoto library, trying to reduce the numbers of photos from the almost 1800. These two almost got trashed until I began to play with them a bit and turned them into black and white. As I recall, the sky was what attracted me, and I do love that in the first photo. The strong vertical and horizontal lines and patterns of the transmission towers pulled me into the second shot. Not my usual subject matter…

The many photos from our week in Paris, way back in May, are still awaiting to be posted!
And now I have all these photos of our recent island hopping mini-vacation that I’m eager to share. These were taken on the small open ferry from Vancouver Island to Denman Island. Details, again, that attracted me.

Continuing the photo series of street furniture in London’s Muswell Hill neighbourhood…
I love Thomas Dudley, Dauntless Ductile who sounds like a character in a children’s storybook.

Some closer shots of Brighton’s fascinating roof panorama and some of its wild life. The seagull nest attracted me, and soon the watchful seagull came closer… in warning or in friendly interest? Note the baby seagull on the far right and what may be a pigeon on the left, I forget. I felt like I was the one being watched.

Lunch in Brighton was in a lively large Italian restaurant. We were seated upstairs in a bright room next to large windows that looked out onto rooftops. The roofs and chimney pots in London (and even later in Paris) fascinated me. So here in Brighton was a perfect opportunity to grab some photos while waiting for dessert (tiramisu if you want to know). I was given permission to go out on the small landing, a perfect vantage point.
What an amazing patchwork of textures, shapes, colours and patterns, don’t you think? Times like this I wished I’d taken along our better but heavy SLR camera, but I still hope I’ll be able to use some of these in future prints! More photos to come….
