Love the colors of the first one.
Thank you. The flying man is the man I photographed at the Mobi meet in London in 2017. He was leaping off a wall down to a “beach” about 10ft below.Who’s the flying man?
Love the shape of the building. Looking at the outside is all I could do at their prices032/365

Inspired by WOTANICUS Bill (I think), I photographed our little clump of snowdrops.

Nice contrast between the sky and the brown winter dirt. Apparently we should be eating more venison (the meat eaters that is).034/365

On our walk today we came across two deer shooters. They were the official ones, employed by the estate to cull the deer. You can just see a herd on the horizon.

Oh, this made me remember we had venison steak with chanterelle sauce on our wedding party in 1987. Another thing I remember is that the chef had been drinking all the bottles of good wine so our guests got served a simpler wine He died shortly afterwards, not because of the wine, but because of maltreated diabetes. It’s amazing how memories pop up from down in the darkness if they just get the right trigger. I didn’t think of it when I admired the photo, instead it came up when I said “oh, so “venison” is the English word for “hjortkött”Nice contrast between the sky and the brown winter dirt.

Lovely image. I still don't fully understand what makes landscape photos work. I'm not at all sure that if I'd been standing where you were, I would have recognized this as the effective shot it is.034/365

Thank you Ted. I’m not sure I recognised it either. When I took the photo, I was trying to get the deer, but then I noticed that big cloud.Lovely image. I still don't fully understand what makes landscape photos work. I'm not at all sure that if I'd been standing where you were, I would have recognized this as the effective shot it is.
Thank you John. I was actually after the deer, but as I said to Ted, that big cloud called to me.Nice contrast between the sky and the brown winter dirt. Apparently we should be eating more venison (the meat eaters that is).
I tend to always look at the bigger picture, which is why I was unable to 'get' last weeks MCC.Thank you John. I was actually after the deer, but as I said to Ted, that big cloud called to me.
For me the photo “works “ because of the contrast between the earth and sky colors, as John pointed out.Lovely image. I still don't fully understand what makes landscape photos work. I'm not at all sure that if I'd been standing where you were, I would have recognized this as the effective shot it is.
Yes they are. Apparently there are a few poachers about, as well as the men we met today, who are official.Are the culled deer used for venison?
That, and also the sense of unobstructed space (continuing on beyond the frame).For me the photo “works “ because of the contrast between the earth and sky colors, as John pointed out.
Yes, a sense of vastness.That, and also the sense of unobstructed space (continuing on beyond the frame).
I love it when a random photo invokes a memory.Oh, this made me remember we had venison steak with chanterelle sauce on our wedding party in 1987.

Hi there Nicola Would be nice meeting you IRL
I agree. I would probably have looked through my iphone and thought ‘that’s a nothing picture’ when in fact it’s great.Lovely image. I still don't fully understand what makes landscape photos work. I'm not at all sure that if I'd been standing where you were, I would have recognized this as the effective shot it is.
