Silhouette - Thematic Photography

Often photos you take turn out to be silhouettes although that may not be what you intended.

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.
