The Long Walk Home

Black And White Photography, James, Photography

This photo was taken on Barden moor in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the UK. I took my 12 yr. old grandson Mackenzie for a long walk when the first lockdown ended and we walked 14 miles that day – just so glad to be out in the fresh air.

When we got to our destination a heavy thunderstorm hit and we sheltered behind the wall for a good hour, but we still got drenched. Walking the 7 miles back to the car the stone slabs being wet were very slippery, and we had to be careful – you don’t want a sprained ankle up there, and it just seemed to take us ages to get home.

Not quite my vision of Tibet, but it is in Rosendale, NY so I guess allowances can be made.

Not drawn

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

Every now and again I see a black and white photo that looks like it could have been drawn by some artist. Just simple lines on paper. When I got home and saw this shot on a large display I got the that feeling that it had been drawn by my camera. The magic ends when I tell you that it is the remains of an old dock in the local river taken early one foggy morning. So just imagine I painted it instead.

Mayflies

May in Wisconsin is synonymous with a massive Mayfly emergence. They were EVERYWHERE! Folks ran from car to building, flapping arms and hands the whole way. When taking this photo, I was focused on the dock, and had no idea how many insects were in the image until I got home.
