Happy Birthday dear Blog.....



Imagine! A whole year of contributions, some 348 in total. One whole year of inane and inaccurate information to illuminate the illiterate. A year's worth of interlinked weird and wonderful work, but most of all a year's worth of pictures.

Aah, Pictures. It turns out there are in excess of 850 pictures in the blog so far, taken over a period of forty years. 

My thanks to all my readers, I hope it's been a fun ride so far :-)

And the story continues...

    It's been a year of unbridled (apart from the horses) entertainment, a year of unending (apart from the year of course) edification, and a year of incredible (apart from ... or maybe beause of the inane) edification

    Please keep it up
    Regards
    Andy

Here's a high key picture.  This splendid bloom is presented against a white background to captivate and impress.  This is not a studio picture, I found the subject in a garden we visited.

Casting a shadow

Dismal dark depressing dull damp disappointing December. Hmm. Lets remind ourselves of summer when there were shadows in pictures. Lets concentrate on where the light isn't: Sometimes its the shadows that define a picture. Here are some of hard light examples from the Mediterranean, and each one will have needed some exposure compensation. The first images hints at a sunny day. This one gives you the evidence: A clear blue sky glimpsed between shadows. This third image, also from the much rebuilt and restored fort at Paphos , allows us to see more of the building. A pleasing succession of arches and the reward is the sunshine at the end And finally one last shadow picture: One for Arthur C Clark: The Monolith in Newbury Kennet Centre car park. Its been there for 4.2 Billion years. No one knows what it does.
