Cat on a cupboard

Here are three identical photos of my cat. The first one is the original and the last two are two different artistic choices I made. As I couldn't select the one I thought was my favourite I decided to exhibit them as a triptych.

So let me know what you think.

Strutting in Leeds Castle

When I went to visit Leeds Castle I had the chance to witness one of Nature's most beautiful trick: a strutting peacock. Fortunately I never go anywhere without my camera and therefore I was able to immortalize this amazing moment.

In these two shots you can see the extent of the peacock's beautiful feathers. I digitally altered the natural colours of the photos so that it would give them an otherworldly feeling.

Birds of a feather

I thought that after the article on the Leeds castle's peacock it would be interesting to show other pictures of birds I took in another park in the north of England.

Here is a picture of a white swan. The way it's beak is resting on its fluffy feathers is very endearing.

 

Sheep and Wales

A couple of years ago, I went to visit a friend in Wales, in Swansea. Another city bu the sea. I seem to be attracted by the sea. 

Unfortunately, despite the fact that it was spring, the weather was ghastly. Not a ray of sun could pierce the thick clouds that were overrunning the sky that day. As you will see on these photos, a very thick fog was also here to dampen our spirits.

We went to visit a small town on the seaside and we were welcomed by this thick fog that prevented us for seeing anything further away than our feet. On the cliffs, you could see sheep scattered all over the wet, damp grass. Some of those sheep were dangerously close to the edge but none of them seemed to fall on the beach.

Wind turbines, seagulls and beach huts in Whitstable

I was born near the sea and therefore I feel a very profound bond to its smells, colours and landscapes. Now that I live near Whitstable, I go there often and never without my camera. Therefore, it will probably not be my first or last post with photographs of the Whitstable landscape.

On this photo, you cannot clearly distinguish the sand from the water as it is a low tide. however, the persons walking are an indication of where the sand seems to be.

Jurassic park on the Isle of Wight

During the summer half-term, I went to the Isle of Wight and discovered that it is the home of the long disappeared dinosaurs. On the beach, you can still see their footprints.

 

Here is the proof...

 

Seagulls

As you can see with the deep blue colour of the sky, those two photos have been taken at Etretat on the same spring day as the other photos from there.

The deep blue sky offers a very nice background to the whiteness of the seagulls' feathers. 

The world's end - Etretat

When I went to Etretat, we went for a walk on the cliffs and I took the opportunity to take several pictures.
