Black and White Sunday

Posted on April 2, 2017 Posted in England, Photography, TravelTagged #blackandwhite sunday, Chichester Cathedral, Photography, travel10 Comments

The them for Paula’s black and white Sunday this week is ‘through’. The possibilities are endless aren’t they? I love taking photos through garden gates and out of windows, but the view also has to work in monochrome. Hence, I’ve chosen a building, not any old building but Chichester cathedral.

So there we are, a view through the cloisters, up through the vaults, through a pretty gate and through from outside to in.

Thursday Special, Illusion

Posted on April 1, 2017 Posted in Exeter, History, i phoneographyTagged #Thursdayspecial, Exeter, Photography, St Pancras Church Exeter21 Comments

St Pancras church in the hear of Exeter sits right in the centre of a shopping centre. It’s built from Heavitree stone and is mostly 13th centuryn but with an 11th century font. It’s tiny, 46 x 16 feet, and is one of the oldest churches in the country with a chancel and nave.

As well as shops, it’s now surrounded by restaurants. I caught this i phone photo though the window of Comptoir Libanais. I’m not sure if the lady in the roof is real or just an illusion, maybe Paula will know, I’ve posted it for her Thursday special.

A Poem Found

Posted on April 1, 2017April 2, 2017 Posted in PoetryTagged Blackout poetry, Found Poetry, Poetry17 Comments

I’ve often thought I’d have a go at found poetry, but it wasn’t until yesterday when I https://cherylandrews.wordpress.com/2017/03/30/fire/#comment-8474 saw Cheryl’s re-blog of a post by CB Wentworth that I was inspired enough to try.

Cheryl responded to my comment by asking me to post if I tried, so here it is.

I didn’t have an appropriate pen and have no idea where my paints are, so I used a whiteboard marker and a biro.

Do pop over to both Cheryl and CB, ‘Fire’ is absolutely beautiful. I’m going to try this again soon, it was good fun. Thanks again Cheryl, this could be addictive.

As dense as granite

Posted on March 29, 2017 Posted in Devon, Photography, UncategorizedTagged Dartmoor, England, Photography, travel13 Comments

Dartmoor granite was used to build the old London Bridge, the one that’s now a tourist attraction somewhere in the Arizona desert. Luckily there’s still plenty left to scramble on, and take photos of!

This is Bonehill Rocks, a couple of miles from Haytor. I went at the weekend, and had a bit of scramble myself. In fact I had to bump my way down on my derriere, holding on to absolutely nothing except my breathe.

Do you think granite is dense enough for the weekly photo challenge?
