Thursday Doors in Weston-s-Mare, UK
I took this today in Weston-s-Mare. Much as I like doors, this artwork has made these dull, plain doors more interesting. Having said that, the doors add something as well. I wish I could have included more but there was a car parked in the way. Posted for Dan’s Thursday Doors

Monochrome Madness – Street Photography
It’s non theme this week for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness so I thought I’d post a few street shots. I’m not sure if there’s a specific definition for what is and what isn’t ‘Street Photography’. I just wander around snapping anything that catches my eye. So here are a few images for this weeks challenge.

This week our Lens Artists Challenge host is Anne. The challenge is Life Changes. A chance to highlight something that has enriched or changed your life. My choice would be ‘Baking’, which ties in nicely with my photography because, for me, the two are closely linked.

I’ve chosen some Beach hut images for this weeks ‘Dan’s Thursday Doors’. I’m always drawn to them when we find ourselves near the beach. These were nice because they were all individually painted by the beach hut owners. We found them at Shanklin on The Isle of Wight, UK.

No theme this week so here’s a conversion I tried last week and was pleased with. It was taken in The Queen’s House, Greenwich, London just over a year ago. It’s a window at the front of the house looking out towards The Old Royal Navel College and beyond that, Canary Wharf.

This week Sofia challenges us to be Bold. Her original challenge post is here. I’ve chosen to use a few pictures based on bold colours, but even bolder design.
These ‘Where’s Wally’ planes are operated by German air carrier Condor. Some of their planes are painted in these simple but striking candy-coloured bold stripes, inspired by “parasols, bath towels and beach chairs.”

This is my entry for this weeks ‘Dan’s Thursday Doors’. It’s the front door to ‘The Old Coxswain’s Cottage’ in Weymouth, Dorset, UK. Its quite an impressive door with a port hole and anchor knocker. I tried looking up some information on the building but couldn’t find very much, other than its a Grade II listed building. We spotted it whilst we were wandering around the harbour in Weymouth a couple of years ago.
Continue readingMonochrome Madness #28 – Hands
This weeks theme is from the blog Stupidity Hole and he wants us to submit pictures of HANDS. So here are a few pics from me. I’ve processed them with an old version of Silver Efex which I’ve hardly ever used. I’ll be spending some time exploring it now as I like the results I’ve been able to achieve with it.
