This gallery is now a complete year of Daily photos, and although it has felt like a chore on some days I have to say that it has been great fun most of the time. When I started my intention was to challenge myself to try new things, especially to get out of my landscape comfort zone and make myself a more rounded photographer. I've certainly tried lots of new things, had a few disasters, some near misses, and lots of pleasant surprises. But the biggest pleasure is always reading other people's comments and checking out their galleries. There are so many talented people on here that it beggars belief. I really appreciate any comments, especially the constructive ones. I am now moving on to a new gallery for my second year.........
27.2.08 - Had to go into town today, and while I was there I went up onto this footbridge to take photos of the trains at the railway station. Got some nice abstract ones of the criss-crossing tracks too. But I like this shot the best for today. The Cathedral is one of the ultimate expressions of what human beings are capable of, whereas the utilitarian bridge has somewhat less lofty aspirations. I love the contrast though, the colours and the shadow patterns too.
Hey we had a 5.3 earthquake last night, with the epicentre only 20 miles away. Not much by world standards, but the biggest in nearly 30 years in the UK. A guy described it as a Harley Davidson dragging a refrigerator down the road, and the earth certainly moved for me!
