Something a bit Different.

[NannyFerret]

Walking along in Tywyn, we say these decorated stones laid along a wall.
The lady in one of the second floor flat decorates them to pass the time.
Her husband told us to move them around if I wanted to get better shots, but I managed without disturbing them too much.

 

All shot with Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens

Something different for sure Tina, I love them, what a range of different subjects as well

[NannyFerret]

There are a lot of shadows, but it was a bright day and I didn't want to use flash, Barbara.

They could have been better, but I just wanted to record them.

[JohnP]

Tina... these are brilliant... well done both you and the lady who painted them. I personally like the shadows, they give depth to the images and make the stones stand.

[NannyFerret]

Thanks, John. The flats were more modern and not as picturesque as some of the older parts of the town, but these did really stand out and made it pleasant to walk past the wall which they were laid on. 

[ChrisLumix]

I especially like the baby, the butterfly, the two Picassos, and the portrait on green Wait, that's nearly all of them!

[Korky]

The red one that's done in the style of Picasso is excellent.

Those are really quite something. The painter looks to have had fun doing them and you made a nice job of showing them to us, catching all the details in the individuals and the first one shows them in a context, just laid out to be seen. Nicely done, I don't think flash would have added anything personally.

[Heather]

these are wonderful, clearly a very talented lady painted them. 

I agree with Bugs i think you have done them justice  

 

have to say if you left them out around here they would probably have been nicked !

[fuzzyedges]

I am with Korky the picasso one but the judy one is close (one below piccasso)

I had to google the place but typed tiwan by mistake and I am sure you arnt there

[annie]

lovely pictures nanny, and it's nice you photographed so many to show. I have pebbles I have painted and varnished, nothing as clever as this ladies though, mine are just flowers and ladybirds..

lol Fuzzy.

It was Tywyn in North Wales It used to be called Towyn, but as the Welsh language is the first language in Wales, everything had to be changed to accommodate the true Welsh people.

 

Annie, You must photograph and show us your flowers and Ladybirds. I for one would love to see them.

 

Thanks everyone else for the comments. I was thrilled to have got pics of them, but they were really so much nicer when I saw them on the wall, before I shot them.

[Kobione]

What a great set, Tina. Already been said that the lady obviously has talent and you have done justice to that in this set. Great variety of subjects. The red Picasso-ish one almost looks as if it's done on leather, and the detail of the costume in the QE1is just great. Thanks for sharing these, really enjoyed looking

[NannyFerret]

Thanks everyone.
Glad you enjoyed seeing them as much as I enjoyed seeing and shooting them.

[Paul]

Some neat and tidy art work amongst some of those. You picked them out well despite what looks to be bright conditions.

 

Paul.

[NannyFerret]

I darkened them a bit in processing to bring out the detail of them, Paul. I think some pics looek better when they aren't too bright.
