A Broomhill Gallery

Posted on Posted in Art and Design, PhotographyTagged , , , , , 21 Comments

Yesterday I said I would post some more photos of the wonderful sculpture at Broomhill Art Hotel, but easier said than done. I took so many photos, there was such a wide range of work and many, many pieces that I liked, that I hardly know where to begin.
So, these are some of the first I saw, whilst having coffee and a freshly baked cookie on the hotel terrace. I’m fairly sure these are from two artists, Laury Dezengremel and Carol Peace.

I hope you like them as much as I do, if so do you have a favourite?

The Dark Side of Sculpture (images may be disturbing)

Yesterday I had another Birthmonth day out, to a sculpture garden in North Devon. More about to follow about that, but for now I wanted to show you these few sculptures we found gathered in a small area. The first was a real double take,

But it fitted well with the rest,

Very dark don’t you think? especially the suicide bomber, a shocking interpretation of life and death.

In Between

Chichester cathedral has a beautiful metal screen ,between it and the  vaults, the treasure awaits, some of the Cathedral’s silver!

Caught between two worlds, almost as if an invisible sci-fi force field is wrapped around the people inside.

A flower for two bees to share between them.

Extra Dreamy

It took me a while to think of an answer to this weeks photo challenge, I kept going back to this pic that I took on Saturday at Penshurst Place in Kent. Eventually I got it, the ‘extra’ isn’t an object, but rather the dreamlike quality of the image, what do you think?

Making Entrances

Posted on Posted in England, Photography, TravelTagged , , , , , , , , 24 Comments

Have you missed me a little?  I guess not, but since last weekend when Christine and Stuart were over from Dadirri, I’ve been away for a few days. I’ve taken around a thousand photos and these are the first few I will show you.

Entrances, doors and thresholds, they always fascinate me and I know I’m not alone. The gallery has pictures from Kent and Sussex, mainly National Trust properties, I hope you enjoy them, click for a bigger view.

Room, to roam

Today I’ve had the most lovely day out with my very dear blogging sister Christine, of Dadirri Dreaming, as well as her husband S, who coped well with a crazy Devon Gypsy driving them up the narrow lanes. If you have been following Christine you’ll know that she has been travelling around southern Spain for a few days, quite a bit warmer than here but it stayed dry for us and I’m thrilled to bits that she came all this way!
I took them to one of my favourite places on Dartmoor, Scorhill. We went inside the shelter of the stone circle, plenty of room there and with a view.

Next we went on over the hill and far away where these ladies had plenty of room to roam.
