Some lovely light there … I could do with your dogs in my garden ….. pesky squirrels keep digging up my bulbs and they stripped two lots of hazel nuts from my trees ….. grrrr.

Inclined to agree with him ... just enough light to isolate it slightly more ...

WELL .. that's all news to me .... Sorry to hear you've met up with these little horrors recently Fooj .... I have to admit I have never heard of them before ..... ugh makes me shudder to think about it !

Incredible detail Mik ... mind blowing stuff !!

Jeez that is close up ! An awesome macro shot !

Great exposure for those lamps Gareth.... Do you think it was just keeping it's feet warm ?

Love the apparent simplicity of this Cheryl ...

I've taken similar pics in Worcester Cathedral funnily enough and it was the abstract appearance that caught my eye as well ... nice one Martyn... Great title too btw !

Fabulous shot with good composition and great exposure ... Well done Van ... Its a stunner !

Whoah ... that really sets off one's vertigo doesn't it .. memorable image though !

Great to see you posting again Fooj ... you do find some characters.. I imagine they are used to seeing you "lurking "

Some really captivating images of deer Gareth ... and some fine sets of antlers on display too.

Sorry ... had to do it .... Great mono btw ..

That's just what i was reminded of too Martyn.... a very good set Kerry... Love the fact. that you got various times of day and night too ... Third and penultimate pics are my faves though that last one is proper War of the Worlds innit !! Interesting history ... see link below:- https://londonist.com/2013/05/the-abandoned-estuary-sea-forts-from-wwii

Love that last one Martyn with the empty chair ... It's a fabulous place to visit ..

I have Dee's permission to make this posting as I have just had a call from her explaining why she hasn't been around lately on the Forum ...She is in fact in hospital where she was admitted two weeks ago after unexpectedly being diagnosed with ovarian cancer . Those of us who have had contact with her over the years have seen what an amazing character she is and how stoic she has always seemed in the face of adversity . Dee was originally from the Uk and moved to Australia many years ago ....she lived out in the wilds with acres of land till a few years ago when her husband became ill and sadly died. She moved with her beloved dogs to an urban setting and readjusted as best she could and had hip replacement surgery that she had postponed for a long time whilst nursing her husband . Unfortunately that didn't have the result that was expected and she had to have more surgery to put it right ... Throughout all of this she never ever seemed to feel sorry for herself and it seemed even when her son became extremely ill she seemed to be made of steel and was a mainstay of support to him and the family helping to navigate through those hard times. Even now she seems as tough as old boots but I know she would dearly love to hear from any of you, not only those who have interacted with her before. I would love to hear her story and tales of her escapades over the years so if you feel you can tell us a bit about how your life in Australia all started Dee ....we would love to hear it... and keep in touch with you on this thread while you start your chemotherapy etc in a short while. So if ever you have the time and energy to spare , even for just moment, tell us how it all started. We are sending you our very best thoughts and wishes to let you know that you are not alone .. So Dee ... what on earth made you decide to move to a place that has spiders as big as yer hand and snakes that slither into yer house when you're not looking all. those years ago !!!?

Ooh Mark .... I so want to straighten that up a bit

The detail is awesome ....well done Mik... well chosen Fogey !

The first image is the best in my opinion …taken from a point of view that enables context and a bokeh that ensures separation of the subject from the background…

It's a fabulous capture ... well done Martyn... a great choice Hatter ...

I first saw this 25 years ago not long after it opened to the public following it's restoration ... What a magnificent place and what a fabulous job has been done to restore it ... a really magical place well worth visiting .... You have captured that tranquil aura that pervades Heligan Martyn ...

Sometimes it feels like it's feast or famine when it comes to the number of photos posted over the course of a week on the Forum ...AND it's just as difficult sometimes to choose the POTW when considering a large number of photos as it is when there are just a few. There were a number that caught my eye this week with Hatter's sepia set, evoking transport and machines from a bygone era..I especially liked the sepia version of ZZ tractor. Ryewolf's signature mono landscapes in their letterbox format impressed me with the Wind farm and the Great Orme but I was drawn back to the simple image of the Cable Cars . For me it works entirely because of the skilful composition delivering a balance of colour line and form that creates something really memorable out of nothing almost .... I really like this ...well done Rye.... Follow the link for the original post ... https://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/58831-cable-cars/#comment-250015
