Symmetry

 

I think I may have posted a picture similar to this a while ago but while I was taking pictures for a quiz recently I visited this spot and thought this was an amazing shot.

It was a fairly overcast day and there is not much colour in the structure itself so I shot in black & white and I think the grey tones and the symmetry make for a very strong image.

Commitment

The tide was high and these two guys were carrying on regardless of the fact that the fish just weren't biting.

They were after cod and had been fishing for an hour or two and apparently because there was too much fresh water in the river they'd caught nothing. In spite of the cold and wind they were determined to stick it out for a few more hours yet. I hope their efforts were rewarded.

Ferry Terminal

I was trying to think of a catchy title for today's post but the ones I came up with didn't really fit so I have just called it what it is. This is one side of the ferry terminal at Seacombe on the Wirral side of the Mersey. It is also home of the Spaceport museum.

I really like this structure with its futuristic design. Would it surprise you to know that this actually overlooks the carpark. 

The streets of Peyre

Yesterday I posted a few pictures from Peyre in the south of France showing the steep and narrow streets.  However they didn't really give a good sense of how closely the houses hugged the cliff side so I hope that today's pictures put that right.

I like the colour of the stone work which in spite of the overcast sky still seemed warm, even in the semi derelict building in the first picture. I also like the way that even with limited space all the houses seem to be positioned to get a good view along the valley.

Tomorrow I have a few more pictures from the village so if you like these please look out for tomorrow's blog.
