The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Old buildings.

On By dalecooper57In photography12 Comments

Good morning, welcome to another week, bringing the ever reliable Monday highlight of The Cosmic Photo Challenge to brighten your day.

This week’s theme was simple and to the point, requiring you to provide pictures of; Old buildings.

I was in Sussex at the weekend and I took a walk around the village of Rotherfield, with its distinctive red brick and tile fronted houses. The church dates back to 1060 and there is a yew tree in the graveyard which is purported to be a thousand years older than that and is now supported by props and chains.

I also paid a visit to my all time favourite pub, my old local in Crowborough, The Wheatsheaf, first licensed as a public house in 1853 and still going strong.

So, over to you, what aging architectural offerings do you have for us..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Compass points.

Hi there, today on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re seeing things from all four; Compass points.

The concept is simple: four photos, each taken from (or towards) one of the cardinal points of the compass, North, South, East and West.

I was visiting friends in Sussex at the weekend, so I took a walk up onto Ashdown Forest, home of Winnie The Pooh, where I captured these four shots…

North
East
South
West

…and this bonus panorama, which nearly covers all four.

How did your all-round mission go this week..?

Another chilly Monday morning brings another warm virtual hug from The Cosmic Photo Challenge, with images to illustrate this week’s theme; Down in the park.

I visited Sheffield Park in Sussex at the weekend, which would have made the perfect candidate for last week’s reflections prompt, too, it’s absolutely gorgeous there at the moment.

Where did your photographic escapades take you at the weekend..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge, part two: Wide open spaces.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography6 Comments

Hello again, I’m here to finally add my own pictures to this week’s challenge, which was based on the theme of; Wide open spaces.

Thank you for all your messages of support, I had a bit of a glitch with my IBS medication, a long drive and possibly some input from a grouchy prostate, all of which conspired to put me in hospital for 12 hours yesterday.

Long, uncomfortable story, short; I had to have a catheter fitted for a week and was instructed to change my IBS meds, but today I was sufficiently recovered to take a careful stroll on Ashdown Forest to capture the landscape Winnie The Pooh called home.
