Phone-box portrait
Another set of photos from the wonderfully misty day a few weeks back. A fairly mundane subject but the light and atmospherics work wonders I reckon.

Reflective fishing
Following on from yesterday’s photo, here’s someone (presumably with a permit) fishing on the same pond.

Private fishing
The water on this pond was beautifully still on the day I took this. Well, apart from when the ducks kept swimming past.

A pastoral scene
Today I present two views of the same scent. One in portrait orientation, the other landscape. I’m not sure which I prefer – the portrait shot has better composition, I think, while the landscape orientation possibly has more atmosphere thanks to the birds in flight (and in the trees), but at the expense of the foreground fence being less well positioned. Anyway, here are both of them.

Natural architecture
Spider webs have an odd feature of being both a little creepy (have you ever walked face-first into one in the dark?) and beguilingly elegant (watching a spider construct one of these natural works or architecture is both fascinating and also slightly humbling). Sometimes though, when they’re festooned with dewdrops and bathed in a shaft of early morning sunshine, they’re simply beautiful.

Vape
It was a pretty cold day when I took the shot and the temperature meant that the clouds of vapor from this man’s e-cigarette were all the more prominent. I took one shot with his head in a cloud of smoke, and then this one in the midst of emission.

Wortley Hall
I visited Wortley Hall with my wife because they had a Christmas Fayre on at the end of November. We bought an illuminated Christmas tree and I took a few photos, including this one.

Tree and stile
It’s another tree! This time stood guard beside a stile I climbed while out walking last week.

Tree and curves
It’s a tree. And a field with pleasantly curved lines of planting. 🙂
