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




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.

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.
Stained Glass Variation I
Stained Glass Variation II
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?
