Into the Clearing.
Boldre, New Forest, U.K.
An impressionistic image of a clearing in the forest, realising the vivid colours and contrasts without the detail and form of a "straight" image.

Photo in colour of a waterfall over rugged rocks in North Wales. A lone female is sitting looking away from camera. The water has not been treated such that it is milky smooth, rather, it shows the peaks and troughs of its violent manoeuvres.

why isn’t the Army’s Strategic Command Unit called the Think Tank.
And why isn’t the Navy’s recruitment office based at Crewe.

Thieves raided my archery shop last night. They tripped the alarm but before the police arrived they had taken flight.

Piptpporus Betulinus - Birch Polypore

This fungus attacks and weakens growing trees and initiates intensive brown rot. The fruit bodies then appear on dead or decaying trees.

I use a CAF account as a convenient and tax effective way of giving to charities. I suppose the message is that, despite the tough economic conditions, people are still giving to charities. The kudos should be with the individuals rather than CAF, although it does a good job.
