Not Elliot, Appropriately Late To This Dusk Party #HumansOfBlueSky #Scape #Transportation #Cycle #Darkness #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPForPink #31DaysOfHalloween #Spooktober #Alien #Fotografia #Canon #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour
A photo taken from low position featuring prominently the silhouette of a boy walking a bike down a garden path towards a road, near invisible within the image. Against a pink/dusky orange sky streaked with cloud and light at sunset. Visible are cars parked close by and I can only think of Elliot heading off to locate that extra terrestrial being.

(EAU) de Toilette - Poor Pun - No Photography Rule - Negotiatied Treasure - Sort Of #WindowsOnWednesday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVForVowels #WallsOnWednesday #WalmerCastle #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #Kent #Bathroom #Design #Photography #Fotografia #ForTheFunOfIt #Tiles #Wellington #CinquePorts #IPhone
A negotiated photograph (no photography rule, IPL) of the main bathroom in the private quarters of Walmer Castle, Kent. Taken at an oblique angle it features principally a beautiful tiled wall, a sort of duck egg green but shining in the reflected light entering the space from a large window. Through which the brick of part of the castle interior wall can be seen. Also visible is a tower rail, a basin and a wall mounted cabinet. I liked how the window light plays on the tiles as if the window is leaded (divided into small panes) when in fact it isn’t at all - it’s the tiling itself creating this illusion. Sort of. A muted camel brown coloured curtain plays nicely colour wise against the whites and blue-green of the room. The property has historical significance, connection to Wellington and Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Slime Train was an arcade style game I and a small team created a while ago. It was made for a charity event called BitCrush which was raising money for Demelza Hospice. For this project, I worked on programming and designing the game.

BlueSky Monday - Mr November - I wish that I believed in Fate - Sort Of #BlueSkyMonday #Birds #Nature #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #Photography #Fotografia #Scape #Canon #Kent #Minimalism #Cormorant #Raptor #Learning
A bird, possibly a raptor, in silhouette against an overcast but bright nonetheless sky. The clouds are varied in colour, from white through to darker rain producing equivalents. Along the very bottom of the photograph the tree line and an industrial low build are visible. It’s early afternoon on that brightening late November day at a local nature reserve in Kent. Notably there had been a reported sighting of a WTE. I don’t think this is it. More likely one of the many Cormorant or Marsh Harriers who reside or range the area.

Forest Friday - Sort Of - More Woodland #ForestFriday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUForUnloved #Photography #Iphone #Fotografia #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #Autumn #Orange #Decay #NightmareNovember #Kent
A photograph of a decayed sign in woodland at a Natural England Reserve. Rusted and about 8’ tall the words on it are faded orange on a white background in block capitals saying KEEP OUT. However missing letters as the lettered section appears to ‘peal’ away from the structure. For example the OUT is now just a partial O. The background is muted in browns, greys, yellows and green reflective of the soggy seasonal overcast day. It wasn’t clear to the photographer from what or where one should keep out. Sevenoaks, Kent.

Red Funnels in the Morning

#EastCoastKin
A photograph taken on a small cruise ship. It’s landscape oriented and taken pre sunrise after light drizzle. I’m on the top deck towards the front of the boat looking back along its length, at the back of the boat are two large red funnels. The boat fills the right hand side of the frame and the sea fills the left on a diagonal from the bottom corner to two thirds up in the centre. The wet deck is a rich shiny orange colour and it is reflecting one of the red funnels. The top third of the image is sky, a beautifully gentle early morning sky of blue and slightly pink clouds.

Retired Red Heels - November Rain - Contrived - Sort Of #WeekUForUnloved #AlphabetChallenge #ColorADay #RedWed #WallsOnWednesday #WindowsOnWednesday #NightmareNovember #Apathy #Photography #Fotografia #IPhoneCamera #ForTheFunOfIt #UrbanScape #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin
A photo of a pair of red high heel shoes that have lost their plastic/paint coating in places through wear. Positioned atop an accessible wheely bin as an act of hope that a clever passer-by will take them and repaint them and in turn wear them. In the background and mid ground are cars parked on the residential street and the terraced homes on the opposite side of the street. Two of the cars are scarlet in colour prompting the photographer to pause yet again because they simply couldn’t help themselves. It’s a rainy, grey day with water on the bin and path gate (wrought iron), giving the reds particular appeal. One day I’ll finish the day to day tasks in a sensible time frame but not today.

Street Furniture - Sort Of - RETROo - Loved Or Unloved - BlueSky Monday #BlueSkyMonday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUForUnloved #TagTuesday #London #Photography #Fotografia #IPhone #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #Graffiti #ForTheFunOfIt
A photograph of a three seat sofa situated on the path of a side road in London. Near turquoise in colour it’s at surface level in good condition and not ‘fly tipped’. Visible is a doorway that perhaps conceals its storage facility. Alongside a commercial waste refuse bin, with graffiti/tags on its short side. Taken on a bright day in early spring.

Attention Alphabetters!
Mon 17 Nov is the start of Week U and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Unloved. So that’s pics of things that are run down and/or neglected. We’re heading into the difficult letters so expect themes to be harder as choices are limited!
Use the # below and have fun😊

Oh my… you made my brain hurt so much!
I completely messed up thinking the photo was taken in London (then I actually read what you wrote 😅). I didn’t even know STATIONERS were a thing 👀
So the answer is:
SKIPPERS LTD – NEWSAGENTS & STATIONERS

I’m actually quite proud of myself… is that bad? 😁
