Leafscapes

This autumn there has been a lot of colour variation in the leaves.

Trinity Saint David, Carmarthen

Trinity College, Carmarthen, originated as a small Victorian college; it has grown substantially over the last 150 years, with numerous new (generally undistinguished) buildings.  The site is oddly cluttereed because the buildings seem to have been placed without any thought to those already there.

Bridestones

all sorts of interesting things going on here - see how the bite out of the left stone matches the edge of the right one

Nantwich

.. a sort of Narnia vibe in the l;ast one with the lamppost. When I was taking that photo, a passer by saw me lining up my camera and, curious,  turned to look at what I was photographing.  His look of interest turned to puzzlement because there was nothing there - except this, that is.

Into the light

Not retouched - just an overgrown path on  a sunny day (foreground in deep shadow)

Negative space: the gaps between things

I like to see views as shapes, or areas of texture and colour, which fomr patterns in realtion to each other. Trees are particularly complex -they can be a bland undifferentiated block of colour, or frail fractals of individually-toned leaves. It's surprising to find how often the sky is obscured - you'd imagine it was always there.
