Standing in the foam.
The new Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge is In or On Water.
I quickly came up with a selection before deciding that they were all a little obvious. So I went through my archives looking for something less obvious.
So here’s a backlit Ring-billed Gull at sunrise. It’s standing in foam from waves whipped up by an overnight storm. Taken on the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada.
Chantry Island Lighthouse in silhouette.
This is a second response to this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge which is Shadows, Shapes and Silhouettes.
This is the lighthouse on Chantry Island just off the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada. Taken just as the sun drops behind the island.
Audlem Church in silhouette.
The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week is Shadows, Shapes and Silhouettes.
I had lots of ideas for this challenge. Then I thought about this photo. It’s shot of St James’ Church, Audlem, Cheshire, England silhouetted by the setting sun.
It was taken in the mid 1980s and sat ignored in my slide files until I started copying them with a digital camera. It’s strange, since copying and editing the slide the shot has grown on me.
A mythological Phoenix?
Or simply an Eurasian Blue Tit silhouetted against the rising sun?
