Texture revisited

Sometimes it is the texture of a subject that invites a photograph. Rust, or old sandstone can look quite interesting close up and with the right lighting. Here, as an alternative, I offer you Hut 6 at Bletchley Park. This is, of course, the home of code breaking. I wonder if the decay is intentional or just the result of neglect. Either way I felt that a close examination of the splendid peeling paint made a better subject than a general view of the huts.

Here is another door, and a more general view. This is an out of the way corner of Omodos on Cyprus. This village has been restored and repainted as a tourist attraction, however if you sneak down the back lanes you soon come across a more genuine view. I rather liked the wall and the colour of the door.

This surely is a classic texture shot. Sawn and weathered wood with oblique lighting to bring out the grain. Throw in the contours of the knot and a bent nail.. Ideal subject!

Finally - does this count as texture? A telephoto lens was used to compress the scene, and also avoid the inevitable Alsatian guard dog.
