City Daily Photo: Statues

It's the first of the month and so that means Theme Day!

This is Buckingham's Concrete Swan... possibly hard to see from the photo but it depicts a swan with its head down feeding in the grasses of the river. You can one of Buckingham's resident swans in the background looking for lazy handouts instead.

theme day: glass

the main window at Saints Peter & Paul... sorry it's not an interior shot! Everything I said before about life, and my job are still 100% in effect, perhaps even more so. Be patient while I try and get everything running like clockwork again :)

City Daily Photo: Paths and Passages

Today is the first of the month and that means "Theme Day"! February's theme is Paths and Passages.

It is also an exercise in learning that duplicating a photo is nearly impossible! I keep getting drawn back to this footbridge across the river and the previous photo I took was, to me at least, amazing. I still like this one but it certainly has a different feel to it. I know the lighting is different, the foliage is different, the crop is different, etc. But there's something appealing about the eerie quality the original had.

City Daily Photo: Best photo of the year 2008

Today is the first of the month and that means "Theme Day"! To start off 2009 the theme for January is "Best of 2008". Since starting this photo blog I have "met" so many wonderful people, and explored, through photo, so many different corners of the world. I struggle sometimes to be inspired to take photos, to make the effort... but the support and feedback from everyone makes it all worthwhile.

So back to "Best of 2008"... I found it difficult to choose a photo as "best" because this is only my 4th month doing this... so heres a selection!

According to number of comments this is the best:


Number of flickr views? That would be this one:


personal best? I do love this one!:

an unexpected smile...

After I shot this window at the old iron works for the theme of circles/spheres I headed home. It was only after I got the photo off my camera that I noticed the unexpected smile. What a great start to what I hope will b a joyful month.
