A Mundane Monday Reveal

Posted on Posted in England, PhotographyTagged , , , 9 Comments

For those of you who were concerned or confused about my wellbeing or sanity today, I thought I’d show you where my Mundane Monday photo was taken. 13

You may remember this photo from when I took you for a walk around the lake at Stourhead, this is the view through the rocky surrounds of the grotto.
Inside, if you look up, you’ll see this morning’s image.

If you look down you’ll see this.

And once outside in the grey autumn light,

Look at the left side of this photo, can you see the spokes on the outside of the grotto’s roof? No wells, rabbit holes or manholes anywhere to be seen, just another folly!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Oops!

Posted on Posted in Devon, Photography, Weekly Photo ChallengeTagged , , 18 Comments

This week, share a photographic “Oops!” moment with us. The fiasco could be what’s in the picture: anything broken, jumbled, or otherwise cringe-worthy (ugly sweaters are encouraged!).  Or it could be something in the photo-taking itself, from the tip of your finger ruining a meticulously framed panorama to an inopportune shadow messing up a family portrait.

So Ben at the Daily Post is giving me the opportunity to show something I excel at, taking photos on the wonk! Most noticeable on my coastal horizons, the ones below are all taken in Devon.

It would seem that I favour a dizzy-making right hand down, OOPS.

A City Stroll at Christmas

Posted on Posted in England, Exeter, i phoneographyTagged , , , , 19 Comments

Exeter has gone to town on the Christmas lights, they look really pretty, so as two of the G-babies are staying we popped down to see them late yesterday afternoon.

We started near Bedford Square.

I knew there was a surprise for the children,

The polar bears even let you share their space for a photo.

I had to make a quick stop at Carlucchio’s, just along here,

then we walked up the path beside the Roman wall , where every year local charities put up Christmas trees, stretching for about a hundred metres.

Around the corner at the top finds us at the end of the shopping centre, I love the lights projected on the wall.

I walked you down the mall a couple of weeks ago. So this time we went towards High Street past St Stephens.

And a last view of Waterbeer Street before we took the tired girls home!

I haven’t caught up with Jo since she returned form the sun, so I’m not sure if she’s walking this week.
