I'm glad you like the Conflict of Lights picture. It's a bit bizarre, I realise, but I find it exciting.

Incidentally, Esther tells me she thinks of you now every time she wraps a present. Something to do with newspaper . . . ?

P.S. It was on the news the other day that the Queen has said everyone (didn't catch who the everyone is . . . her family, her staff . . . ?) should re-use Christmas wrapping paper. Clearly, where that Montgomery woman leads, Royalty follows! L.; December 10, 2008 at 3:46 PM

Dazzling!; December 11, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Lucy Corrander said...: Easy Gardener - interesting that you say that.

This photo was taken in Weymouth.

If I had turned and taken a photo in the opposite direction it would have been out to sea, across Weymouth Bay.

About fifteen years ago, there was a UFO alert there when a couple of traffic police saw a large red object in the sky above the water.

It turned out to be Mars.

(I have trouble with stories like this . . . it sounds so much like an urban myth . . . but I read it in our local paper . . . which, of course, may be the source of many an urban myth . . . )

Lucy Corrander said...: Hello Weaver of Grass

I'm glad you like The Conflict of Lights.

It doesn't feel like a departure, in the sense that I wasn't conscious of doing anything different when I took it. It's just that I'm not often out at night so the opportunity hasn't arisen before.

I have self-imposed guidelines for this blog.

No people.
No flowers.
If anyone else would have taken it - I won't.

Being that I made these rules for myself, I would feel ok about breaking them.

But . . . this one . . . well, it fits!

Lucy

P.S. I know other people do take pictures like me - you and Gordon Mason have both pointed me to people whose photographs show, in certain ways, a shared vision. None the less - I expect you know, broadly, what I mean. L.; December 12, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Lucy Corrander said...: Another p.s. to Weaver of Grass . . . which having been said . . . I got in a muddle about dates for the pictures and had to put two in in a rush (Buddleia and Field in Autumn) and they don't really 'fit'.
