In my younger years I was more dreaming of ‘share in pool’  :D


I don't think that is an anagram, Luit ... but I certainly get your drift!!!   :D

Shearin' loop - it's a kind of crook, like a boomerang, used to catch that sheep running away over the mountain top (story 14) and bring it back into the fold  ;D

Oh no, my computer has gone back to 1975 and is now in black and white!!!!!  :o :o

It certainly does create a "mood" in a photo, doesn't it Cliff.  The b/w and sepia can change so much.  Thanks for the pics.  8)
Cheers.

Wow, Cliff.  Even better having the originals to show just how much different they are.  The bw/sepia tones have their own charm, but I am a sucker for the coloured ones.  ;D ;D

Thanks again.
Cheers.

There are a number of images from Tandle Hill Country Park (and of fungi found there) in the AUTUMN COLOUR IN LANCASHIRE thread, but as I have amended a few of the images I thought that they may be better placed in this 'arty' thread.  Several images haven't been amended at all, but still seem to fit the bill?  Please enjoy.

Please click on the various thumbnails to see enlarged images.

Cliff, love the first Tandle art pic and just find the fungus forms in all the images incredible - the arrangement of the fungus in T Art 6 is an art in itself  ;D

Fascinating fungi pictures Cliff.

The following was taken in the Cruickshank Garden on November 6th.
Ulmus glabra 'Camperdownii'.  I think it looks much more interesting naked.
Roma Fiddes, near Aberdeen in north East Scotland.

Cliff,

Great run of photographs. These dark evenings are giving you lots of time to play with your images on the computer.

Good shot, Roma. Great shape of a tree.
