Wedding guests

My black and white photos this week are all of children’s faces, nothing textured about them.  They were all taken at a wedding, the day was very hot and it was getting late in the afternoon.  I find that the monochrome version of these shots focus the viewer on the faces of the children and their expressions.

This little girl has the most amazing eyes, and I like the way they shine even in the b&w version of the picture.

This is her brother.

And some very serious contemplation of the proceedings by this beauty.

The Forest spirits of Oberotterbach

We were in the south western corner of Germany this weekend, almost in France.  On our hike we came across these most unusual sculptures – not made out of cut wood but out of tree stumps.  Because of this these “spirits of the forest” are naturally camouflaged.  I found it a pity that the artist thought he had to make his work more visible by adding colour, I like the idea of them blending in the forest even at the cost of maybe missing some of them.

I like the fact that the wood is still changing, splitting and finally rotting.

But if you are alone in these woods – beware of crocodile!
