Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Anne: Shorelines.
Like Anne, I find peace & relaxation where water meets the land… fortunately, shorelines are never more than a stone’s throw away in Scotland. Be warned, mammoth post ahead
We have ponds, lochans (wee lochs), lochs (surrounded by land) & sea lochs (lochs that extend inland from the sea & are tidal).
Now, this was a real tester; I didn’t think I would have anything to contribute to Egidio’s prompt.
I don’t really associate music with my pictures apart from one particular song that has stuck with me all my life. I first heard the song “Forever Autumn” by Justin Hayward as a young child & whenever I see autumnal scenes, the song plays in my mind.
To that end, I’ve concentrated on the one song & imagery that I associate with it.
Autumn
The song is from the 1978 Jeff Wayne adaptation of War of the Worlds & is about the main character reminiscing about how he & his wife used to kick through the autumn leafs in a passed time.
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in whenever you have a water picture to post (any type of water, in any state, will do). See below for how to join the fun
For this challenge of water in motion, I thought I’d look at some obvious and less obvious forms of movement.
So, I’m starting this post with water that is put in motion by others. This first shot is the Falkirk Wheel, a boat lift that essential is a section of canal that is rotated from the lower canal to the upper. In the shot, on the left of the wheel, you can see a canal boat sat in the closed off section as it is lifted up.
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to join in with the LAPC; hopefully, I won’t go overboard (no promises).
I’m starting off with some architectural circles in Glasgow. The first is the roof of Kibble Palace, then the Templeton Building & the staircase in the Lighthouse.
I thought I’d go with a seasonal theme for Patti’s challenge; snowy landscapes seem like an excellent response for “empty spaces”. We’ve had no snow as yet, but with temperatures not getting above 0?, winter is undoubtedly here
