Vowels - Under

A black and white photograph of a stone arch bridge reflected on a smooth body of water. The bridge's two visible arches create near-perfect semicircles that are mirrored in the water's surface, forming a strong, symmetrical composition. The lower half of the image is dominated by the dark, placid water, with subtle ripples forming concentric circles in the bottom left, disrupting the reflection slightly. The contrast is high, emphasizing the solid structure of the bridge against the dark tones of the water.

Good morning #BlueSky ☕️ & welcome to window inception down in the village. Have a day of clarity friends ☺️ #WindowsOnWednesday
#EastCoastKin #Photography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #Architecture #Glass #Patterns #GeometricDesign #Buildings #PhotographersOfBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #Ireland #Inception
Our picture is a close-up shot that captures the corner of a distinctly designed building. The structure is primarily composed of geometric shapes, a prominent feature is its triangular glass panels held together by black framing. Through the glass, reflections of a brick building and internal structural elements like pipes and lighting fixtures can be seen. Adjacent to the glass sections is a solid panel with a textured, bluish-grey surface intersected by gold lines. The surface seems to have a pattern resembling marbled or crackled texture, giving it depth and dimension. The background reveals a clear, bright blue sky, adding contrast to the angular lines and modern design of the building. The picture evokes a sense of modern design and architectural innovation. The geometric shapes and the reflective quality of the glass create a dynamic and visually interesting scene. The composition, with its close-up perspective and vivid colors, lends a sense of clarity and precision. The overall atmosphere is clean and contemporary, with a hint of urban sophistication. Finally, today’s picture is finished with a clean, simple, white border frame.

Having been mistakenly included on an electoral roll, Manchester shopkeeper Lily Maxwell voted in a by-election on this day 1867, more than 50 years before (some) women were enfranchised by the Representation of the People Act. Suffragists seized on it as a test case.

Saturday night I got the train to Herne Bay and walked along the seafront in the dark (a bit hairy) to the King Ethelbert Inn at Reculver where the Whitstable Hoodeners performed their folk play.

‘The Porter’ (1972)
This was the first piece of Ladybird artwork I ever bought. It drew me in.

Artist: John Berry
Porter on the railway platform pulls a trolley directly towards the viewer. Beside him is an open train door, and the person behind it part visible in the glass.

Autumnal
Last Friday at the park
#alphabetchallenge #WeekVforVowels
#EastCoastKin
#Photography
The image captures a park scene in autumn characterised by trees with mostly bare branches, some of which still hold onto golden leaves. The colour palette is warm, dominated by the golden hues of the remaining leaves and the reddish-brown of the fallen leaves, contrasting with the darker tones of the tree trunks and branches. The lighting is soft and diffused, indicating the golden hour, which enhances the warm tones of the scene.
