Cold, damp, bleak... yes, it's the Moor.

Nice picture!

But big purple lillium? - Nothing comes to mind. Any chance of a picture?

Advanced panspermia??

Steve

Yes!!!!

So much appreciation for a few pictures of views from alleys link ! But how does an alley end? The answer for two local alleys is by becoming a little bridge. And here are the bridges - over the bypass and over the river. The third bridge - over the railway - is not connected to an alley (it's by the side of a road bridge), but earns its place here by being the same sort of thing as the other two. Pity they're all a bit scruffy, but you've gotta take life as you find it .

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as always.

1. Over the railway



2. Over the bypass



3. Over the river

I do like the delicacy of these sliver of moon photos . So different to hardness of the usual full-on full moon shots produced by photographers who point their lenses at the sky.

Steve

The first seems to have a wider field of view than the second. Has the different stacking software done that? It's hard to compare them unless it's the same field of view.

They all look pretty good to me though (speaking as someone who has never even tried astro).

Steve

Thanks folks.

Quite a lot taken over the years but need sorting (and finding!). Depends on getting some enthusiasm for photographic archaeology on the hard drive!

Yes, I've got shots of snickets, too (and a wife whose first language is Yorkshire :wink.


They do look different on my big, calibrated screen (used for photo editing) compared with my tablet screen. I adjusted curves for 1 and 3 so the darkest part of the shadow was black (the light was pretty dark in any case), a lot more looks black on the tablet.

That's a look of great suspicion, if I haven't forgotten how to read a canine face. And the brain is thinking 'I'm only going to do this if there's an enormous reward at the end...'.

Looking forward to seeing the complete record of Rudy growing up .

There are lots of alleys (or ginnels if you prefer) where I live. A long term, sporadic project of mine is to photograph both them and the views from them. A burst of enthusiasm this week produced a few more photos. Here are a few of the resulting views from local alleys. All with K3 + Tamron 10-24mm.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.

1. Direct Pizza. Guess what they sell...



2. Fox & Sons. Estate agent.



3. Dodgsons of Dorchester Ltd. An old-style hardware shop, not necessarily the cheapest but they have everything and, most importantly, know everything about it.

Interesting. The right half works for me, the left half doesn't. I think it's because the water flowing over the rock is heading out of the picture rather than into it and is partly hidden.

You weren't wading in the freezing water to take the shot, were you??
