As well as scenic shots, we were invited to look for the detail and take some close-up images. It's surprising what you notice when you start to look around... These are just some of the random pictures I liked from that day's haul. Some of them defy explanation. I've no idea why it said 'Friday' on a fence next to the church.
The rather Mondrian pattern is the detail of a glass panel in a boarded up window in Malmsmead, not the kind of image you'd expect to collect in rural Devon.
A feather is perhaps more to be expected. It had rather pretty markings but I'm not sure what bird it came from.
The tangled leaves of a succulent plant:
A little basket of violas, juxtaposed with a random spray of grasses growing in the wall:
Another image I wouldn't have expected to find: plastic ball-pit balls in the window of an old shed, looking almost as if they were frozen in ice.
A label attached to a gate-hinge, perhaps related to an orienteering game? I'm glad they were 'feeling good on [their] last day'.
And the beautiful, sad eye of the ever patient horse:
Wonderful pics, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful -- and sometimes mysterious. The basket of violas is a painting waiting to happen.
ReplyDeleteThe horse is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe glass panel reminds me of the windows in the church we attended when I was growing up. No stained glass in the sense you'd think of in churches, but coloured glass in more of an abstract design.
