Happy Birthday

Wonderful Margaret

Close up of colored pompoms in Todos Santos Mexico hanging outside a store shop. Each string is the same color, but there are a variety of colors hanging. The sun is spotlighting the red and yellow pompoms as well as slightly highlighting the blue and pink.

Blurred photograph of a London Underground platform sign reading “Angel,” with the red roundel and blue bar partially obscured by motion blur from a passing train. Dark, indistinct silhouettes of people are visible in the foreground, adding a sense of movement and urban atmosphere.

Haunted
Angels on the Tube

This was my other option for #AlphabetTechPhoto but I didn’t know if it was more motion blur than ghosting 🤷🏼‍♀️ Plus the “H” is pushing it a bit 👻😂

A dimly lit, moody interior of what appears to be an old church, featuring rows of vintage red velvet chairs with wooden armrests. A single beam of warm light dramatically illuminates one chair in the foreground, highlighting its texture and colour against the surrounding shadows. The floor is covered in ornate, patterned tiles with blue and tan motifs. In the background, a large golden statue of an angel with expansive wings stands against a weathered wall with faded frescoes. A dark doorway and a small poster are visible in the center background, contributing to the mysterious and quiet atmosphere of the space.

A black and white, high-contrast photograph of a crucifix mounted on a textured, marble-patterned reredos in a dimly lit interior. A single, dramatic beam of light descends from above, sharply illuminating the head and torso of the figure of Jesus, while the rest of the scene remains in deep shadow. The figure’s head is bowed, and the light creates a strong shadow of the cross against the paneled wall behind it. The composition is minimalist and moody, with the right third of the frame containing the subject and the left side fading into complete darkness.

A black and white, vertical photograph looking down a long, grand hallway with a classic checkered diamond floor pattern. The foreground is dominated by the geometric tiles, which reflect soft light from a source further down the corridor. In the mid-ground, stone pillars and arches frame the view, leading the eye toward a bright, sunlit atrium in the distance. A white marble statue of a standing figure is positioned at the end of the hallway, brightly illuminated against the darker shadows of the corridor. The architectural style features ornate arches and a balustrade, creating a sophisticated and timeless atmosphere with a strong sense of depth and perspective.

A black and white, minimalist photograph capturing a series of bright, parallel light beams cast onto a dark, textured carpet. The light, likely streaming through a window or slatted door, creates four prominent, rounded bars of light that stretch diagonally across the lower half of the frame. The texture of the carpet fibers is clearly visible within these illuminated sections, contrasting sharply with the deep, solid shadows surrounding them. In the background, a thin sliver of light defines the edge of a door or wall, adding to the geometric and high-contrast composition. The overall mood is quiet and atmospheric, focusing on the interplay between light and shadow.

This week's #AlphabetTechPhoto is Light/Shadow!
Explore high contrast for the #AlphabetChallenge prompt: #WeekIforInteriors
Think dramatic window light in a hallway, shadows cast across a staircase, or an Industrial space filled with beams. Let’s see that depth!

A photo looking over Warth Bridge near Bury. The view is of a weir on the River Irwell. It was late afternoon and the sun was setting in the distance behind some trees. The sky was blue with large fluffy white clouds lit up by the sun

A photo of a poem typewritten on a piece of white paper and sellotaped to a brick wall. It says ' Dear friend, please step aside. It is rude to stand on graves. Here lies the lives and times and precious love which people gave. Though the noise and clamour belies the solemn feelings felt, these words mark the spot where small agonies are dealt. Maybe there was a crime, a violation too? But the grey rain sweeps all of our littered emotions through. It washes them all away, and although nature's cruel, It seems even our streets will never remember you.

Dear Friend
Found a beautiful poem in the Northern Quarter yesterday

Wow

Een zwart silhouet van een kraai, die met gespreide vleugels in de lucht zweeft tegen een achtergrond van een lichtblauwe lucht met zachte, witte wolken bij zonsondergang of zonsopgang.

Aardig windje!

Everything is so sh*t!

Most of us are rightly angry/exhausted/anxious/afraid.

It can feel futile sharing music, art, writing, photography etc.
It can seem pointless telling us about your day, cat, kids, garden, walk, project etc but it’s NOT!

It’s how we hold onto our humanity ❤️ take care all x

Beautiful Jenny

Zonsopgang boven een rimpelend meer met hoge rietpluimen op de voorgrond, warm goud licht dat over het water weerspiegelt onder een zacht bewolkte lucht.

Nog wat goud van de morgenstond.
Een fijne avond allemaal.

I know 😆

He's alright, but more pop/rock than other bands.They didn't show most of the awards and the pub singer at the end was awful 😬😆

A photo of several daffodils near the quayside at Salford Quays this afternoon. In the distance an arched bridge can be seen spanning the water

Too high 😆

At Kew Gardens in Toronto, illuminated pale pink sunset sky behind clouds, diffused through white haze of fog, backlighting silhouetted bare trees along a park path with snowy ground on either side. A lone bench in the snow on the left in the foreground. A picnic table is behind and behind that, a picnic shelter is barely visible in the fog. Park lights twinkle in the distant background.

Brilliant Jilly

Black and white photograph of two people jogging along a paved path in a park. They are silhouetted against a bright low sun positioned between two tall, leafless trees. The sunlight creates a glowing halo effect and soft lens flare, while long shadows stretch across the ground toward the camera. Open grass and distant fencing are visible in the background, giving a calm winter morning atmosphere. Tech details: Sony Alpha 7 ll with 50mm lens @ 28mm 1/2000 sec @ f/4 ISO 50 Handheld. Processed in Lightroom Mobile

Halo & Haste in Hyde Park
Beneath a winter halo of light,
two figures move with measured rush,
shadows long and breath held steady,
morning holding a treasured hush.

This is your reminder that Monday 2 Mar is the beginning of Week I and the #AlphabetChallenge theme is Interiors. Houses, shops, bars, bags, holes - basically the inside of anything counts😊
