Hi all 😃 My entry for this weeks challenge, set by Patti: Focusing on the details.
These benches are in Kibble Palace in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. At a casual glance they appear ro be wrought iron benches with wooden slats; looking closer, they have squirrels in the armrests.
…and here’s an actual squirrel, on a bench 😂
This Iron footbridge crosses the River Kelvin, just by the Botanic Gardens. As you head down the path towards it, you can’t really see the detail, it’s only once you get closer that you get to enjoy the craftmanship that went into it’s construction.
This last shot is focusing through the metalwork at the water rushing below.
Love your take on, Jez. Beautiful detail and fun adding “the real thing” in the end!
Thanks, Leya 😊
A fun and interesting take on the challenge Jez. The ironwork squirrels are marvelous and you’re so right, we seldom focus on wonderful details like those. LOL for the addition of the little live squirrel
Thanks, Tina 😊
I love how you approached this subject, Jez. Your images keep circling back and adding more details. Lovely. And the real squirrel was a great bonus!
Thanks, Patti 😊
Excellent. That bridge makes a great banner shot!
I wouldn’t have noticed the squirrels if you hadn’t pointed out that detail, Jez. 🙂
You know, I don’t think I have ever noticed the squirrels on the Kibble benches before!
Nice!
Thanks 😊
The live squirrel is best, of course. But a great eye for detail!
Thanks, Elke 😊
Those benches are cute! I love squirrels 🙂
Thanks, Sarah 😊
I love reading about places far away from me
Very nice details, Jex.
Thanks, Karen 😊
