Scarborough South Bay

Having had a week off when all the sunrises and sunsets were obscured by amorphous grey cloud this week when I am back at work the sky has lit up on several occasions. I managed to get to the coast for a couple of these mornings and here is a monochrome conversion of one of these times at Scarborough.

Hipstamatic return

Having avoided posting for a significant time I have not neglected the photography, but have been putting together several new projects and appraising previous images. Having travelled around the UK recently to various cities (not my favourite places) I have used the iPhone to capture the essence of one or two places:

York street

The rain glistened off the old cobbles.

The latest snow in the UK helps my favoured minimalist photography but can also help in the moody monochrome as these Hipstamatic images of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire demonstrate:

Ice trees

These patterns were in the ice all along the edge of this water garden.
