Peeping over the wall

Just once in a while it all goes wrong. The blog I had intended to produce for this Friday should have had lots of pictures of balloons – not the tiddly ones that come home from parties – the big ones with baskets under them – into which brave souls float around in the evening sky. As I was saying there should have been lots of pictures of balloons – but they didn’t – and weren’t flying! At least not when I was watching. Perhaps another time.

So instead you have some pictures (lots of them) taken by me as I peeping over walls. The walls by the way were mostly garden walls.

Sometimes the walls concealed big gardens, such as Stody or Castle Acre sometimes public gardens and in one or two cases private gardens which I probably shouldn’t have been peeping over in the first place.

One wall simply had grass behind it – disappointing – I couldn’t just photograph that  – not without doing something to it, so I simplified it.

Not sure what this one started life as – obviously something pretty mundane – so I whizzled it round a bit (note the use of the technical photographic term) and put it against a dark background. It still looks rather mundane but it is a different sort of mundane if you know what I mean.

Some of the offerings this week are somewhat impressionistic. I love jumbly colours and it is not very often that I experiment with them like this. The regulars and serious impressionists will be relieved to know that it won’t happen again for some time.

There is lots of sailing taking place over the next week or so – so stand by for boaty pictures and have a good weekend.
