Studio 365: Day 63

Day 63

Grey Elegy

Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear

from Thomas Gray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, 1750

Day 60

Lost a few petals whilst I was away but was rewarded with Day 60’s image after eighteen
attempts painting with light tonight.

A Year of Monochrome Madness

A year ago Leanne Cole and Laura Macky invited photographers to submit their monochrome images each week, which were then posted as a gallery by Leanne on her blog. For this 52nd week Leanne suggested we all post a gallery of some of our favourites.

I would like to thank Leanne and Laura for hosting this great project over the past year, and congratulate all the contributors for so many memorable and inspiring images.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward

On today’s Weekly Photo Challenge Krista asks ” What does reward mean to you?”

MachuPicchu

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.
