This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End‘ asks:
Photograph the Places You’ll Go
You will have to visit Jenn’s site to get a full description of how we can photograph the Place you’ll go, but here is a photograph of St. Ives in Cornwall, I am fairly sure we will revisit this Distant harbour in the not too distant future!
‘Distant harbour’, St. Ives, 2018.

Photograph Something Weathered
I felt this old gate fit the brief, it has been in the back of mind to re-edit this photo for some time, and I rather like the way it turned out.
‘Old Gate’, 2015.

This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End‘ asks:
This week our challenge is to photograph the simplicity of a scene which may mean making choices on what to leave out.
I love taking photos of flowers shooting slightly into the light and using a clear sky as a backdrop, though it is sometimes hard to isolate just one bloom.
‘A single Tulip’, Sizergh Castle, 2017.
And in Monochrome for perhaps an even simpler image, I cannot decide which I like best.
‘A single tulip 2’, Sizergh Castle, 2017.

This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End‘ asks:
Photograph Falling Water
Ok, there is some falling water in this photo, but maybe not as much as there should be :), please forgive me, this photo is mainly the outcome of water that has fallen into another body of water, and the drop at the top is in transition between rising and falling, so I may just get away with bending the brief this week.
‘Transition’, 2014.

This weeks challenge from Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End’ asks:
I was just photographing at a festival (Cinco de Mayo since you ask) and I have lots of ideas for future challenges that involve people, but since we just did a people challenge, let’s go for something else that caught my attention during the parade.
This week the challenge is to….
Photograph Wheels
Well a second wheel post for this week, this time some carriage wheels at the Arlington court Carriage Museum.
‘Sophisticated wheels’, Arlington court, 2019.

This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End‘ asks:
This week the challenge is to….
Photograph Unexpected Beauty
It doesn’t matter what sort of beauty. Any beauty will do!
The best is when I find beauty when I’m not expecting it. Finding a ray of sun on a weed or a splash of color in a dingy building.
When we visited Lynmouth and Lynton in March this year, I finished my meal in the small cafe at the top of the railway before anyone else. I decided to nip out and take a few shots from the top looking across the waters to Wales. As I walked up the path I encountered this ‘Unexpected Beauty’, (s)he saw me coming and ran toward me, leaping up onto what must be a favourite fussing spot when encountering passing travellers, purrs, strokes, rubs and tickles were the order of the day.
‘Hello human’, Lynton, 2019.

This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End‘ asks:
It’s a color challenge this week. I don’t do these very often, but I seem to have brought back a whole lot of orange from India and it’s got me seeing the color everywhere. This week the challenge is to….
Photograph the Color Orange
Well as I entitled last weeks submission ‘Banana’ the idea of orange made me chuckle, should I continue with the fruit theme, however it was one of those rare occasions when we do not have an orange, satsuma, or clementine in the house. So instead here are some lovely tulips for you.
‘Orange illuminated’, Sizergh Castle, 2017.

This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End‘ asks:
This week’s theme is to….
Photograph Found Art
This art was found while walking around Vienna, I expect it does not relate to the sign below it, but it might!
‘Banana!’, Vienna, 2013.

This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End’ asks:
This week, the challenge is to go out and…
Photograph Decay
For this week I have chosen a photo of a tree that is in the process of Decay.
‘From the inside’, Puzzlewood, 2005.
And a second photo of the interior of Kenmure Castle, the roof gone and falling to Decay too quickly for a building of this beauty.
‘From the inside 2’, Kenmure Castle, 2018.

This week Jenn at ‘Traveling at Wits End’ asks:
So this week I’m going to send you off on a quest to photograph round things. I’m specifically thinking spheres, but I’ll leave the challenge open for other round things.
This week, the challenge is to go out and…
Photograph Round Things
Well I did not have to go far in my quest for a round thing. This ‘thing’ sits in my desktop organiser and looks at me as I type up my posts, and edit photos. It was inevitable that one day I would photograph it. It is not quite a marble, nor is it a ball. It is a sphere within a sphere!
The inner sphere has an eye printed on it, is weighted, and is suspended in liquid within a larger clear sphere. And therefore when you roll it along a surface the eye always remains staring upwards, giving the effect that it is mysteriously floating along a surface rather than rolling.
‘Its in sphere’, 2019.
‘Eye eye’, 2019.
