Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point

OK so it’s not the usual holiday photograph, and OK it doesn’t quite reach the vanishing point, but of all the things I saw on my quick tour of Europe this is the image that struck me most. I also called it Vanishing Point because this is a dockside so you could step off the decking onto a ship and sail over the horizon and vanish forever.  I saw Rome, Barcelona, Lisbon, Cannes and lots of other fabulous places. They were wonderful and doubtless many images from the holiday wil feature on the blog in the weeks and months to come, but I loved the look and texture of this simple wooden decking. It looks like a black & white photo but it is actually colour, the wooden planks were just so grey.

Freda’s Photo

Gustav and Friends, a photo by Freda

This wonderful phototgraph was snapped by Freda at a cafe while on holiday in the south of France, probably about 1958. What a fascinating narrative picture it is. The group of interesting characters around their table, and the lone woman at the next table taking more than a little interest in them. Thank you Freda.

Probably the best photo I’ve ever taken

Caption competition?

Home is where the Art is

That’s my theory anyway.  One of my favourite places to see art is at the Tate Modern so throwing caution to the wind I will try to make a link to it now.  This is my first ever blog in case you hadn’t guessed.  Well that seemed to go OK so what else can I try.  I won’t put up one of my poems just yet.  Or publish my thoughts on life the universe and everything.  I know, I’ll try a photograph.

Sardinia Sunset

 

Well that seems OK too.  I’d better stop for now beofre I get carried away.
