On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography21 Comments

Hello all, how’s your Monday going so far? Well it’s about to get better, because it’s time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to lift the start of your week; From ground level.

I took a sunny morning stroll along the Tarka Trail at Wrafton yesterday and captured the landscape from a very low elevation for a change.

What did you get up to, getting down at the weekend..?

Ok, it’s a new week, let’s get it started in style with this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today we’re looking for images to fit the simple prompt; Reflections.

Here are a few shots from the weekend, three of which feature the mirror-smooth surface of the river Taw in Barnstaple.

What got you in a reflective mood this week..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Looking for shade.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography7 Comments

Good morning, everyone, welcome to another week and to yet another Monday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, where this week we’re; Looking for shade.

I thought I was going to be stumped by the weather again, because it was overcast all day Saturday and, despite the oppressive heat, it was still very grey yesterday morning. But by lunchtime the sun had burned off all the clouds, so I went for a stroll along the river Yeo.

There really is nothing like the cool, dappled shade beneath trees on a riverbank.

One enterprising family has taken the design concept of “borrowed landscape” to its logical conclusion, by extending the garden right down to the water’s edge from their overhanging deck.

I’m very envious.

Further down the river there’s a deep pool where it turns a corner, making a great place for a rope swing over the water.

Where did you go to cool off at the weekend?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Waterways.

Hello there, I hope the weather was as good for you over the weekend as it was here, it was gorgeous out in the woods capturing images for The Cosmic Photo Challenge yesterday.

Our theme this week is; Waterways, very loosely referring to pretty much any body of water you can think of and I picked one of my favourite local riverside walks.

Trees casting dappled shade made it a pleasantly cool stroll and even though this branch of the river Yeo was at its lowest ebb in the heat, the slowly flowing waters produced some great reflections.

Where did your search for watery inspiration take you this week..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: The view through…

On By dalecooper57In photography15 Comments

Welcome to a May Day bank holiday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is framed by; The view through…

Lots of room for interpretation in that prompt, so I went for a walk and captured views through (or between, or from under) a couple of bridges and an electricity pylon.

Where did your weekend search for inspiration take you..?
