Tree and steeple

This photo is of the church St Martin of the Fields near Trafalger Square. I like the contrast of the light and dark colours of the tree and building against one another and the great sense of height that you get. But best of all I think I like the bright blue sky as the backdrop.

Durdle Door, Bournemouth

I recently went on a day trip to Bournemouth and in particular to visit Durdle Door. Now, I’d seen a couple of photos on the internet and I had an idea of what to expect, sort of…what I actually found was a breathtaking view of the coast which was amazing. I’ll stop trying to explain and show you my photos instead which I took on my DSLR camera.

This is the view you see from a steep walk down towards the coast; it appears all of a sudden like a well kept secret

I love how the movement of the water can be seen in the second picture

Then walking further down you see the famous Durdle Door which is also a World Heritage Site

What I loved the most about this place was that it looked as beautiful in real life as it did in photos I’d seen, in full, vivid colour. I would definitely recommend it as place to visit and to get some amazing shots.

Here a few other photo’s I took

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Sign Says

Aside

So, I thought I’d have a go at the weekly photo challenge on WordPress this week. This is a photo I took when walking around London, and I thought it was a cheeky alteration to the ‘stop’ sign, so took a quick snap

I also found this Banky picture on my wonderings which is also very apt, and I love Banksy artwork, so I had to include it

This makes me think of those typical landscape pictures that you get on souvenir postcards. Only problem with mine is that it’s slightly wonky! I still like it, although maybe I’ll have another go when I next go down and see if I can do better.
