Trees in the Snow
This is my contribution to Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Hot or Cold Things prompt.
I decided it was going to be an image from my archives. In fact I’m going almost as far back as I can go in my archives.
The original version of this image was taken in the mid 1970s on a Zenit E camera. Those negatives got damaged (or lost, I have forgotten what actually happened to them). So when I got an Olympus OM1 in 1976 I reshot the scene at the first opportunity.

Strange Perspective on Shadows
This is my day 5 contribution to Becky’s July Squares on the theme of Perspective.
The shadows of the various trees are a bit strange in this photo. The shadows cast by the row of trees seem to be pointing in a different direction to the shadow cast by the solitary tree in the field. That’s because the field is in effect a miniature valley. The shadows of the row of trees are on one slope and the shadow of the solitary tree is on the other slope.

Weekend Challenge: Scenic
This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Scenic.
I had a few ideas for the challenge but I wasn’t really happy with any of them. Then I thought about a small set of photos all taken on a back road in southern Cheshire. It was the scenic route into the village of Audlem and I used to take it frequently rather than using the more direct main road.
Farmland with St James’ Church, Audlem on the horizon at sunset. The church clock shows the photo was taken at 5:10.
A wider view of the same farmland, this time snow covered shortly after sunrise. St James’ Church in on the horizon again.
Storm clouds over the farmland. An even wider view showing some of the back road. A small St James’ Church on the horizon in this photo.

Patchwork
The first thing that came to mind when I read the prompt for One Word Sunday: Patchwork was fields seen from above.
My home county, Cheshire in England, is quite flat but there is a large sandstone ridge sticking out of the Cheshire plain. The tops of some of the hills forming the ridge allow you to look down onto some of the farmland of the Cheshire plain.

This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Morning.
I am a morning person and often have the alarm set to allow me to get to a location half an hour before sunrise. So here’s a small selection of photos taken around sunrise but not necessarily what I would call a photo of a sunrise.
Waves and rocks on the Lake Huron shoreline soon after sunrise.
