Gargoyle |
When taken this came out all dark, so dark in fact you could only see a black shape, but as you can see I tinkered with it a bit. I also tried another on the same garden parapet.
Gargoyles (Yarm 2012) |
The next picture comes from my brother's alum of pictures taken during the war. I can safely say no-one else can take this picture today.
Indian War Memorial, Port Tewfik, Egypt - 1940s |
The monument silhouetted against the sky was destroyed by Egyptian troops during the war with Israel, in 1967 I think.
Closer to home is this shot I took of Brunel's famous bridge.
Clifton Suspension Bridge |
Finally a shot I took in Norway in the 1980s.
Pulpit Rock |
And the same rock on a postcard.
Two silhouettes |

Love the two silhouettes at the bottom. I also took some pictures of gargoyle-like dragons that were on top of some shops in Wales. They didn't turn out how I hoped, but when I got home I was able to tinker with the photos enough that you can make out the red dragons now. They're very whimsical, so I'm glad I was able to salvage the photos.
The gargoyles are beautiful!!!! Oh my goodness, Bob. The silhouettes charm my soul. I could stare at them for a long time and I actually have been looking at them for some time. Excellent photography. Will visit the link. :-)
I totally agree with you! Sometimes they are a gift waiting to be received, but for me usually not! Of any photos I delete immediately, besides the horrible-blurred ones, it's silhouette photos. I just don't often find them to be worthy....is that a bad thing? Maybe they are like eating french fries, they're good but too many are bad for us.....LOL
Really cool photography. I'm not good at it but I love the work of others.
Great pictures.
Very nice photos regardless what you say.
I'm terrible at photography, my pics always turn out blurred and I end up deleting them.
I especially like your shot of Pulpit Rock!
I remember Pulpit Rock when we sailed some of the fjords many years ago. Good pix.
Awesome pictures, I love the two at Pulpit rock.
You have an amazingly diverse way of looking at the world! I love them all, and all for unique reasons.
Oh, to spend a Sunday afternoon having you walk us through your photo archives :)
(New theme, faith, is now up. Whaddya got?)
