Week Five

The African Mile

In Tunisia, Africa the buildings do not stand very tall. This is the reasoning behind the title for this photograph. Because of the shorter buildings it feels as if you can see the landscape for miles. I also noticed how many of the buildings are which seem to add to the expansion of the town.

Hallway Spectacular

This was taken at the top of the unfinished amphitheatre, hence the spontaneous sightings of sky and sunlight. Along with the open ceiling, there is open flooring which I find odd and intriguing. Another enjoyable part of this picture, I believe, is how the hallway seems to continue around the bend.

A Feather Amongst Leaves

This was taken in the middle of the woods, which is why it was so surprising to find a peacock feather amongst the leaves. The dullness of the leaves make the vibrant colours of the feather stand out. I like the sudden splotch of colour amongst the dull brown leaves and twigs.

People vs. Mountain

Mountains can be very intimidation, especially if you are standing in the groove between two very large mountain peaks. I like this photo because of its ability to display the vastness of the mountain’s size. The people seem somewhat miniscule compared to the massiveness of the tan mountain.

Lonely Monkey

After taking this photo I realized how alone and sad this monkey seemed to be. There were many other monkeys milling about and playing with their friends, but for some reason this monkey had only himself. My heart went out to this monkey in his moment of need.

Alnwick @ Night

This is a depiction of the serene streets of Alnwick at night. Everything seems still and tired from a long day’s work. This picture also brings to my mind the famous singing scene from “Singing in the Rain” because of the way the street light reflects off the wet tar road.

A Little Piece of Heaven

This picture was taken in a very dark corridor of a building and suddenly I came across a hole in the roof. This seemed to be the only form of light around; a little piece of heaven in the center of darkness.

Stampede of Calves

While walking to Hulne Park I came across three calves that were running around and playing games with one another. This picture was taken when the calves decided to rejoin the older bulls and cast play time aside.

Northumbria Tower

Although there are much larger towers throughout England, the angle that this photograph was taken at makes the Northumbria tower loom above like none of the rest. This picture is also interesting because of the start contrast of the light blue sky above to the dark brick of the tower.

Stone Flower

The downward angle of this photograph shows the depth of the stone sculpture. I chose to put this picture in my blog because of the intricate detail that can be seen I also liked how the flower seems so delicate in the rigid stone.
