Out of town for a day or two, so here is an older photo from the studio.
On today’s Weekly Photo Challenge Krista asks ” What does reward mean to you?”
The answer is found in this gallery of photos taken after our six day trek to Machu Picchu in June 2013. Arriving in the early morning of the seventh day, with the sun’s rays illuminating a scene that can best be described as theatrical in its beauty, was a moment of pure magic and the beginning of a never-to-be-forgotten day of wonder and amazement.




Three Palettescapes (my new word) from yesterday’s palette photographed before it was washed away forever. The word describes these serendipitous landscapes of color that seem to have a life of their own. Interested to hear your thoughts.
Still in a Rule of Thirds state of mind.

Those of you who follow thechangingpalette will be familiar with this image from Studio 365:Day 48, which I have modified for Jen’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds.
The still life was photographed at night using light painting, and the Bokeh effect created by applying a Gaussian blur to the painting layer. The beautiful vase was made by the Vancouver artist Rachael Radford and featured on Studio 365: Day 36. Thanks Rachael.

Given today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds from Jen I thought I would work with some of the torn pieces from yesterdays Guildford Cathedral Revisited and play with the rule of thirds and Bokeh effect. What do you think?
As promised on MoMA Mia, a gallery and slideshow of some of my favourite photos from our recent visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The perfect way to spend a few hours on a New York Sunday afternoon in January.
While you are viewing the slides, enjoy Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett singing…you guessed it of course…New York New York.
