Brilliant, and innovative, Astrid.
I love it.
Picturit: Thanks Ray, I spotted this when I walked into my yard, the sun just was peeking over the other houses, love the light in the mornings.
Astrid.
OH yes! A new day, a new week, a new life. "Today is the first day of the rest of your life!" Sometimes all we get is the shadow of things to come, but the shadow is sometimes the only glimpse we need.
Okay, so your image is making me wax philosophical, Astrid! I love the thoughts this elicits for me...now that I'm back in your time zone! So sorry Holland couldn't pull off the big win against Russia.
Picturit: I know what you mean, sometimes we have to be grateful to see the shadows, however if I could see the real thing...I would be in heaven.
This picture was for me also kind of saying...bad luck for the football team, but time goes on though.....look at the beauty, I know it hurt for some fanatics who drove all the way to Basel.....in two years time we go the country of Louis, he will be so glad to see all the orange fruitcakes... Astrid.
A new week and day is born, heres hoping the sun and warmth combine to make it lovely well captured.
Picturit: Thank you Scotia, this was what I meant to say...just be happy with the small things in life, flowers, sun...
Astrid.
Extremely clever, and very well spotted.
Picturit: Thank you so much, when I walked into the yard I spotted it..my camera always lies in reach
Astrid.
Lovely Mijn vriend the shadow on the fence is amazing. You have captured this to perfection.
This is very meaningfull Astrid for the Dutch Football team. Don't drop you heads and be deflatted, hold them up high and start all over again, for the next competition.
Picturit: You are so right here mijn vriend, always look at the bright site of things, walk on tall and be proud...
Have a nice walk, I know you will enjoy it, take lots of pics and share them some time, please. Talk to you soon again.. Astrid
Well spotted, shame you couldnt get the flower in focus
Picturit: Nigel...Nigel...you are so impatient....just wait and see 'Wednesday's'
thanks though Astrid.
Goede morgen and buenas chance fur eine prettige tag, Astrid 2009.
The gap in the wood id tremedously powerful here and avoids it bland. very clever, but then you do build pirate ships with your bare hands. A river dirty.
Picturit: Thank you study keyboard-pal....I knew you would like this one very much, thank you so much for your compliment about me being clever, I am clever, modest, good looking, smart, sometimes brilliant, but all those qualities I kind of keep for myself, they might think I like to show off....
We almost can try the ship to be 'sea-ready' we have bought the bottle of Champagne to do so.... Astrid.
Great shadow photo!
Picturit: Thanks Helen, these are just one of those we see and capture at once.
Astrid.
Wonderful and creative shot Astrid. I love it!
Picturit: Thank you so much for your kind words, I just happen to see it when I walked through my garden.
Astrid.
Een nieuwe zachte stijl- motief en schadow-silhouet lijken op een Japanees schilderij- erg fijne klaproos (?) en mooi zijn ook de vlammen van het verlichte hout! Je opschrijft is prachtig, ik ben het heel met jou eens: Een nieuwe week is begonnen, wees niet te bedroefd, ik heb met jullie idd meegeleden want de Oranjes waren ook mijn favorieten! (Op woensdag voetballen de Duitsers tegen de Turken in Bazel, maar we vieren met de Turken in Duitsland!)
Picturit: Philine, dank je wel voor je mooie woorden, klaproos is inderdaad de Nederlandse naam voor deze mooie bloem, ik kan hier echt van genieten, ach en het voetballen...het is weer heerlijk rustig en er kan er maar ééntje winnen.
Ik hoop dat het op woensdag een goede wedstrijd wordt...ook na de wedstrijd als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel... Een prettige avond. Astrid.
It's poppy season here too.
Picturit: I just love it.
Astrid
Nice one Astrid. I thought you might have posted a picture of Gus Hiddinck with pins in it
Picturit:
Astrid.
I like Ginnies comment.
Picturit: Me too
Astrid.
Poppy heads then Astrid ... Hope they are the ones that create a wonderul seed head later on the summer .... Good for oppium ;-)
The fields of Hampshire have been grown with poppies this year. So for a change the yellow oil seed rape will have some competition. They are being grown for official medicinal purposes ... not for street drugs. cheers richard
Picturit: I think that is wonderful to have it grown for the medicinal purposes, in Holland we have those field too.
This one is in my backyard...I have no intention to smoke it....I don't smoke at all. Astrid
Terrific image Astrid.
Picturit: Thanks Aussie
Astrid.
Yes, what a trailblazing idea this is. Innovative really. Not to mention extremely appealing.
Picturit: Thank you so much for your kind words, I just happen to see this in the early morning...not to mention I was right awake the same minute.
Astrid.
Shadows can reveal so much about the beauty of form without being distracted. I love this shot.
Picturit: True words here, this is the one opportunity to not use the B&W and not get distracted (I think)
Astrid.
Very well seen, Astrid! The gap between the planks makes the shot.
Picturit: Thanks Martin, these shots are just the nice unexpected ones.
Astrid.
Marvelous! I do believe I would not have noticed this. It takes a certain eye, which you obviously have. The simplicity of this image hints at hidden depths.
Picturit: Thank you so much for your kind words, I just happen to see this one in my garden.
Astrid
Fantastic shadow shot. Well done!
Picturit: Thanks Alexandra, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.
Great reflection!!!
Why I haven't think about that ??? I like it. Good shot, Astrid.
Picturit:
Astrid.
Well spotted Astrid, I like the texyures in the wood as well as the shadow.
Picturit: Thanks Brian, this is in my backyard, every year they are coming back
Astrid.
Excellent aedvice and shadowy picture.
Likey
it is and there is always the world cup to look forward too we Brits are used to that deflated feeling that comes with getting knocked out
Lovely, Astrid. The two different colours of wood works well here and provides a good backdrop for the silhouette.
The idea that was good with the beautiful shadow.
Regards from Yogyakarta Indonesia.
Excellent idea to capture this shadow. I like the structures of the wooden background, too.
This is what we call " The art of photography"
Nice idea
Picturit: You said it so nicely, thanks for the compliment,
Have a nice weekend Astrid |
