Pretty abstract for me, eh?
There’s an app called ‘Camera for iPad’ which allows your iPhone to be used as a remote camera for an iPad, which doesn’t have a camera of its own. Quite fun. It shows a ‘viewfinder’ on the iPad, so of course I pointed the camera at that.
So this is a view, taken on an iPhone, of a view on an iPad of what an iPhone is seeing when the iPhone camera is pointed at the iPad. The kitchen ceiling light is reflected in the iPad screen.
Tilly explored the limestone shoreline at Birling Gap one evening recently. I used to play here as a child.
Normally, I would expect to do some post-processing of the photo to create an effect like this… but it’s much more pleasing when nature provides the monochrome for you! These intrepid kayakers were paddling peacefully past at this point, but earlier there was a dramatic and eerie sound as they cracked their way through the ice. My own kayak is inflatable, so not much good for icebreaking!
More pictures of the Newnham/Grantchester area in the snow can be found here.
…when you could be taking me for a walk?
Digging through some photos from a few months back, I found this rather fine Nash Ambassador, spotted deep in the Michigan farming countryside.
…that I’m really not allowed on there?
Spotted at Kensington Metropark, Michigan.
It reminds me of a very old joke.
Q. Why does a stork stand on one leg?
A. Because if it took both of them off the ground it would fall over.
You can find a few places, scattered around the world, which bear the name ‘Bald Mountain’. To use the word ‘mountain’ to describe anything in south-east Michigan, though, is definitely wishful thinking!
Bald Mountain Recreation Area, is, however, very pretty.
A few more pictures here.
