Let the sun shine

A slightly cropped version of my photo of a sunflower field, otherwise – as is.

A selective colouring change.

With a cartoon filter, delicately used.

My favourite. I manually used a brush tool to blur all but the centre piece.

I’m a fan of frames

I happened to be in Michelstadt im Odenwald a couple of days ago and came across this frame with the thieves tower behind it. It made me think of other frame installations I’ve seen in the past.

Ladenburg has frames like this along the walk through town to show what the area used to look before the walk was constructed.

This frame is from Leazes’ Park in Newcastle, behind St James’ Park of football fame.

Only a few kilometres to the east in Sunderland is this big shutter framing Roker lighthouse.

And the ultimate frame high in the Alps opposite this view:

The Eiger in the Bernese Alps.

Fan of … #95 where you can find more fanatical photos.

“Ag, shame!”

This explains the title not the photo (no editing, no explanation). Shame is a term used by South Africans all the time. You’ll see a cute puppy –> “Ag, shame.” (ag is pronounced with a long a as in “laugh” and the g is the same sound as in the Scottish “Loch”). Your friend’s son has won a rugby scholarship. –> “Ag, shame!” You tell your friend that your mother-in-law had an accident and is in hospital. –> “Ag, shame!”
