Daily Walk

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Thanks Eric. It was the only thing I could think of to get a personal audience with Spiderman.

A conversation between the tower and the rooftop. "What's it like up there?"

The tower is looking to the rooftop for instruction on how to fly.

Nicw.

The tall lights hearing the conversation of the stack tower and roof said, "look how high we stand." But littlest one said,
"Oh yea, just wait till dark, we will see who shines the brightest."



The walls, not wanting to be left out said the next day, "hey you all, just look at the different forms we can make once
the sun shines our way."

Are you starting to write a series of illustrated children's books? These make a fine start.

Red and seafoam green and other delights.

Lovely! I follow some of the British Landscape YouTubers, like Simon Baxter, so there are definitely days when I wish I was there rather than here. We are on lockdown right now, like many places around the world. At least we are allowed to go out to parks and conservation areas as long as we keep our distances.

Cheers. Thomas Heaton is one I follow.  We’ve been in national lockdown since Christmas but in rural areas it’s OK to walk in the general area of where you live. There are never many people about. Lockdown is easing a bit on Monday when we’ll be able to venture further afield. Can’t wait for a chance to head for a bluebell wood.

I don't think this one is that good, but I am attracted to it for some reason and am posting it as a matter of interest. I have three versions of it, each slightly different.

I call it highlights amid the chaos.

Of these two, I feel the second is the stronger.
But where is the third? Did it run away while you blinked?

Thanks for commenting Eric. I didn't think it was worth showing. But here it is slightly off-set. As I always say, a good photographer can crop an image seven ways to Sunday! My thinking though, is if you do this in the field, you can come up with different and interesting takes on the same subject.

#2 still wins, for me. But thanks for showing all three. That's a good lesson in creative looking.

[John R]

I took a nap and went out for a walk. The world didn't look right.

See here.


So I rubbed my eyes took another shot and thought, that's better

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

They both look perfectly normal to me.

Went for a walk in an industrial area while I was waiting for service on my car. Found this. I got tied up in knots just looking at it. But I felt safe because I knew that lock was holding everything together

Very nice, but a little blue paint on the pipes at the left might have livened it up even more.

Geez...thanks Eric. What a good idea. I will expand on it a bit. Just for fun of course.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Ah! Much better. More natural.

Excellent suggestion, I like this last version a lot.
