  • Alone

    Still fields and quiet.
    Sounds deadened by soft white snow.
    One stands out alone.

    Looking back it seems I have a few trees in the image collection, and several minimalist ones at that. Snow or fog both work well. We have not yet had snow this winter, so this is one from last winter, taken at Strelley Hall in Nottingham.


  • Stone the Crows

    A murder of crows
    May not lead to a murder.
    But you never know…

    Not sure that two is enough to make a murder, but I could hardly whistle up a couple of spares. So for this purpose two is a murder.
    Just a happy chance encounter along the banks of the canal in Bude.


  • Sentinel

    Cold and so alone.
    A sentinel in the mist
    Waiting for the sun
    .

    Less is more, more or less. A misty frosty morning in the park.


  • High Water

    Driving rain persists,
    Flooding rivers burst their banks.
    Calm after the storm.

    A little bit of minimalism from the River Trent in January last year. Although the image is minimalist, the effort required to achieve it was not. I think the time taken to learn the techniques were worth it, but hey – I am retired so what else was I going to do during those hours?


  • White rock

    White rock and dark wood,
    Misty morning by the sea.
    Calm and serene view.

    Some people do not like long exposure, but in this case I felt the untidy waves would distract from the main elements. Taken at Spurn Point on the east coast.
