TAKE TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE

Now this week's Thursday Challenge is on a favourite subject of mine... ARCHITECTURE!

This architectural detail is the vestry door from Claydon church of St Peter's, Suffolk. Although in keeping with the 14th century nave, this is part of the 19th century 'improvements'.

Taken with the 'Nik' on manual 200ISO.

Wings on Wednesday -

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.

...I have been able to catch a few of the local birds in UK but they are still in the camera and still need to use up some of the India/OZ stock. So here we are with a pair of Black Kites, soaring in spotless skies...

Have you got some 'wings' to share? Linky up here!! (Stick to theme please, or risk being booted.)

TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN

SUNdays

This is not sepia or B&W, it is true colour and was shot through a less than clean window on a moving boat...

Taken with the 'Nik' on auto everything.

TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX

Saturday Symmetry

Chose to do this one in B&W as it suits the starkness of all those chimney pots and somehow speaks of the era in which they were built (late 1800s)

The alert will recognise the lamp-post... Taken with the 'Nik' on B&W mode, standard focus.

"In seed time learn, in harvest teach and in winter, enjoy!" (William Blake)

TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR

Well, last week, I was unable to make a link to the Thursday Challenge. Undaunted, I will persevere with this week's challenge which is CLOUDS. Regular visitors will know that I have rather a lot of cloud photos to choose from. Which to pick for today??? You choose. This trio was taken on my recent visit to Isle Of Bute. All with the 'Nik' on landscape mode for the first two and sunset mode for the third.
