    project: Abandoned

    Some examples of abandoned dwellings I came across while touring Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada this summer. I always wonder - why, what happened?!

    These are very evocative especially the last with its whisps of foreground grass.

    Looks like a scene from an enchanted forest.
    I'm not keen on the red colouration - is that a red spotlight in 'real life' or is it added in post? Of the latter i might try experimenting with different colours.

    Your eyes just go for the water. Amazing drawing power.

    Thank you Chris.

    Drawing the eyes to the waterfall was my aim after the documentary version (below) didn't really do very much for me.

    I went for a night time look and feel with light focussed on the waterfall (earlier post).

    This tighter crop of the earlier version works for me as well.

    Exploring

    Since taking possession of our new home just outside the Lake District National Park in mid-October, we hadn't seen a glimpse of the view from the house due to the unremitting gloomy weather. Until this week.

    The sky cleared and the temperature dropped. Wednesday brought a beautiful clear dawn, with frost and a spectacular view from the house. The distant fells of the Lake District can be made out on the horizon, the leftmost high point being The Old Man Of Conniston

    Earth Shadow

    As the sun began to rise a beautiful Belt of Venus formed over the hill on the opposite side of the valley (Whitbarrow Scar). The purple band close to the horizon as you stand with your back to the rising sun, is the shadow of the earth.

    PB274036-Pano-4.jpg

    Taking a walk as respite from trips to the recycling centre, we discovered a local wetland, Park Moss, with a bird hide overlooking the water.
    PB274058.jpg

    There are many beautiful old stone field gateposts around, this one overlooking the 'moss' next to the wetland
    PB274059.jpg

    Wow, what a lovely place to live. Can't believe it's the first time you've seen that view.
    That bird hide is definitely well hidden.

    Very nice street (?square) scene. The romanesque sculptures are wonderful, as ever, especially the wall corner and the capital with its two tailed melusine. You should make a composite image of the many melusines you have shared over the years.

    Melusines and chasubles dahling.

    I guess they are farms which went out of buisness. Our countryside is full of abandoned farm houses.

    This low view with the grass is the most evocative.

    Vigoleno

    Last Sunday, visited a couple of places to add some material to my sprawling Romanesque project. First stop was the cathedral museum in Fidenza near Parma. I wanted to see the La Maestà mariana by Antelemi. The museum has in interesting Romanesque font, as well as a lot of Baroque art, which frankly does not do much for me. The Matroneo, the elevated part of the Cathedral where the women were once confined to, and which I particularly wanted to see was closed. So I quess I will visit again one day in the summer when they have more staff.

    I wanted to visit Vigoleno again, as I was last there in the Summer, and it was a bit chaotic. These short days are good for blue hour photography too. Vigoleno is a hilltop village, built around a medieval castle. It has an interesting Romanesque Pieve.

    It has been a while since I have used the 24PC on a tripod with the D850. I am still amazed at the amazing sharpness of this lens. All the museum shots were made with the 28-400 "superzoom", which I still find surprisingly good.

    An amazing lens will amaze, I guess.

    I thought the first was an arty shot of the back of a king with a crown and a shawl and was disappointed to realise otherwise. Actually, what is that?

    That chasuble is extraordinary and a new word on me.

    I like that wacky wall corner.

    My fav is the one above although it drives the eyes a little crazy because the building on the left has tilting horizontals whereas the others are level. It's a superb shot.

    The first shot is the back of the statue in the second shot.

    It took me ages on Google to find out what the garment was called. A lot of things like Fellini's Papal Fashion show.. it gets more and more absurd as it goes along.

    I hate the horrible steel walkways in this shot.

    I like the moment you caught here the most, as it is the most dynamic.
