Images of the arty kind

Going nowhere slowly in a field of Homeria...

[Ragged Robin]

Now there's a story, I wondered what happened?  You 'Going nowhere slowly' photo would make a great poster, Rogan 

[Rogan]

I'm glad you enjoyed my picture Robin   

I just love wide open spaces and this photo epitomizes large areas of southern Africa. I snapped this scene near the town of Aliwal North on the banks of the Orange River.

I just love wide open spaces

Me too....and the vast skies over head - no wonder SA leaves such an impression on anyone who has visited/lived there.

i also love this scene for the open spaces and light-besides the car and flowers! i can imagine hours of botanising in this landscape!
there are places in southern alberta and british columbia that look quite similar, with a very different flora, of course!

SOMEHOW I used a slide film twice. A few of the better shots.
see the possum carved into this log at Cruden Farm - the home of Lady Murdoch - as in publishing.
the driveway at Cruden Farm
the side of the house at Cruden Farm
the special honeysuckle at Cruden Farm
at Otto Fauser's garden
again at Otto's - I didn't know he was growing the arils between his pots!
Another at Otto's - what is this paeony?

Pat, your double exposure shots could be the start of of something special in an exhibition - they are so absorbing to look at and show everything in a new light    Really, really, cool 

In the digital age no-one would think it possible

happy accident (except of course for the loss of the shots you wanted) and a good eye to catch the interesting ones!

Pat,
very interesting. The yellow iris in image 0003 resembles the shape of a palm tree in an Greek garden seen in Corfu . Recalls nice vacation memories with my family

Two shots captured through the rear side window of JohnnyD's car as we sped back from the recent SRGC Conference.  The sky was a melange of dark forbidding clouds, isolated shafts of sunlight and a transient hot air balloon ... images enhanced slightly for colour intensity.

My apologies ... I neglected to post the 'arty' version!

[Maggi Young]

I like all the versions, Cliff!

......Wonder who came to the Weekend in the hot Air Balloon?  Didn't spot it in the car park.... nothing surprises me about SRGC members, mind you!

......Wonder who came to the Weekend in the hot Air Balloon?  ::)

Are we trying to guess who was full of hot air?   

[Maggi Young]

..... that might be risky..........

Pat,
it looks like "the ghosts of irises past"!
would make a good X'mas card for Otto!
cheers
