Victoria Park Fountain, Halifax

Posted by Ellie
 

Another photo from my day spent at the summer craft market (NSDCC). After my period of volunteering on the information booth was over and while I waited for Steven to finish his inspections with the Standards Committee, I wandered around the park, which is really just a narrow strip of grass and stately trees between two city streets. The focal point is this little fountain. At the moment it has unsightly roadworks on all sides and a single photograph would not have done it justice. This is a composition of multiple exposures, showing it in its full glory.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

More Haste Less Speed

Posted by Ellie
 

Sometimes a busy day can make you feel as if you are being sucked into a vortex, everything going faster than you want. Then, right in the centre, when things seem at their busiest, there is a still, quiet place and you can catch your breath, look around you and just enjoy the quiet.

I hope you all have a colourful, calm, productive weekend, with friends or family, just enjoying life as you can.

This post and image is in celebration of three of the still active, favourite themes featured by the +Public Calendar of Daily Photography Themes.

because this is entirely suspicious, the colours resembling those of a famous coffee shop seen through a distorted alien mind, (though a day late): #AlienAbductionFriday +Alien Abduction Friday by +Irene Kato +Alex Lapidus +Karl Geiger Jr +Janice Hackney +Jetski

Burning Turf : Turning a Deere on a Dime

Tractor Donuts - Ellie Kennard 2015
Tractor Donuts – Ellie Kennard 2015

When you have a lot of grass to cut, with little time to do it, you need to be speedy, with a responsive machine that can turn on a dime.

Here is Steven Kennard, master turner, doing just that! (hint: see “Turns” if you haven’t already here: https://vimeo.com/126545288 )
Another blur image, as there is no other way to show this.
