Horncastle & The Wolds Photographs
The photo albums at Picasa are a little large to just trawl through, so I thought I'd present some of my favourites that aren't seeing use on the blogposts. The setting is the Horncastle, Louth, Skegness triangle, essentially the Area of Outstanding Natural | |
  "Been There, Done That!" The colourful simplicity made this a choice, the naturalness overcoming any undue busy-ness. Tower Gardens Skegness  "Den Again!" A quite good balance for one of my photos, the trees giving depth and richness to the side portion of flowerbed Big Chair Co. Horncastle  "Toffy Suite" You won't see a display like this at the Ikea's - evocative of Edwardian grandeur. North Sea Lifeboat  "Poacher Line" I was very much on dry ground taking this, and with a camera-phone too. The Lifeboat readying for winch ashore. Cloud Over Dogger Bank  "The Simpleton's" A weak showing of earthquake cloud over Dogger Bank - weak as the North Sea has been de-gassed and thoroughly drilled. Morris Isis at Horncastle  "Eye of the Be Holden" The sixties equivalent of a Range Rover, wonderful paintjob & curves. Horncastle Music Shop  "Going For A Song" This seemed to gel immediately after capture when I saw the chance of the guitars having different characters, and the reflection of the main pub in the throes of being sold... Great Expectations Antiques  "Dinky Display" Clare Boam's 'Great Expectations' having one or two toy car dealer enthusiasts. Ducks by The Bain  "Mallardy" The birds appear en masse if someone starts feeding them. I prefer to feed the fish. Summer Storm Water  "Good Year" No matter which road you come to town, it's downhill. Horncastle's a puddle waiting to happen. Jacobean style Furniture  "Olde Wolde" On the upper floor too, somebody did some carrying. A richly carved piece with a good polish. Skegness Rock Shop  "Rock Mobster" One of the original images that I started with in the noughties when the blog was on my.opera.com/horncastle |  "Glas Ness" The Other Worldliness and large area, of around two square miles of emptiness, has an attractive effect. Yellow Wolds Valley  "Old Cyan, Sir" Another shot out of this Wold - taken at 45mph. Could be one reason for yellow puddles on the sand... Louth LN11 Aerial View  "Tennis The Menace" Taken from St James's Tower, the angle and height and the well kept area make for a satisfying photo. 4door Beetle VW Bug  "Well Hello There Lurver" The pink ribbons, virginal white, and headlight shades giving the impression of bedroom eyes...50x the most popular of all the photos Windfarm Cloudless Effect  "Dowsing" Britain in trouble, a shallowed heated sea from a fortnight of adverse tectonic movements.. RNLI Skegness Prom.  "Net Prophet" Standing on a wall, with the Sun waxing and waning, the flag becalmed then opened, the camera working then auto standby... Botton's Funfair Skegness  "Sol-stick" The pirate ship in relief at the top of it's swing. Gift Shop Teddies  "Barely Audible" The Teddy & Chocolates shop now given over to antiques, up the Fleece Arcade off North St. Lincs Prominente Flower Festival  "Run To The Hills" The Methodist flower festival over the Diamond Jubilee, with the Capt. John Smith display, first President of the US colonies.. Tea at the Bridge  "All white" Over to the west an eatery under new ownership offering a widely varied menu, cleanliness & warmth. Excellenté Antiques Horncastle  "Bearthing" Bizarre condensation one morning as I went to the shop's cafe area for breakfast.. Limousine at Flower Shop  "Rose Royce" The occasional old roller & bentley still to be seen, but usually coming from a car show.. |
