A mate took this shot of me playing around with a parasol that was left behind by a glamour shoot. I’d just like to say that although I may seem a little absent from what goes on behind the scenes here at Monochromia I follow a close as my time allows. A big thank you to Joe for this site (He has others too). It gets me out there taking pictures and that is what it’s all about .

Have a great Christmas and a snappy New Year. All my love and best wishes to all that read this, and my fellow contributors here at Monochromia who are a great inspiration to do better all the time.

See you in the New Year

MG In The Woods

I weep a little every time I see this classic sticking out from under the trees and bushes. For those that are wondering, it is an MG Magnette.

This last summer I got to see a fully restored one  (however not the one in the link) at a country show. The owner told me that in the sixties they were often used as stock cars as they were powerful and sturdy. Many were just raced and wrecked so there aren’t too many in good condition any more.

This is a fairly straight shot with only black and white conversion. It has an almost 3D effect in my opinion.

…Of Course It’s Still Here

…they said. However the last time I was here someone had removed the bumper (fender). Go on put your hand over the that part and tell me the shot doesn’t loose anything. So last time I was here I didn’t take any shots of it. As if by magic this year a bumper had reappeared. The magic has returned.

…you could say that is what nature is . In this case it’s doing it’s best at decorating the wreak that has been “parked” here for sometime a clue may be the the silver birches growth rate :0)

Well I finally got to go back to one of my favourite places to take pictures. It really is a fascinating place to visit. You really get to see how nature is clawing it’s way back from being a dumping ground. Far from being an eyesore this place seem at one with it’s lot. I hope to share some of my shots with you in the next few weeks. In the meantime you can see some shots from my earlier visits here
