MENDIP HILLS 36 – BLUE LANE (MONO)

The view southwards down East Water Lane; 7 Aug 2014.
This little, dead end lane has re-invented itself or, put more simply, in language perhaps from an age now past, it has changed. For no longer is it a slim, tarmac strip leading away southwards from beneath my feet, but rather an abrupt wall, blank, sheer and beset by flickering blue shadows, slicing across the Mendips’ smooth and sober slopes.
D800 with 12-24 Sigma at 12mm; 200 ISO; Silver Efex Pro 2, starting at the Silhouette EV +0.5 preset, adding a split tone, and rotating by 90 degrees anticlockwise.

Intriguing is the word, me thinks! Certainly made me look several times to decipher
what I thought I saw.

Actually, bud, I’m a little foggy on that point but I believe it came to me the next day. I was sitting outside when i saw the refraction/torch and then it all flooded into my head. I think it was the next day that i found the youtube video after reading your post and i knew it belonged there. ❤️ You were the catalyst tho. 😉

Leaving your feet in was a bit tantalising Adrian. I want to see your wall, and easily can. It’s a great shot, but I keep turning my head on one side to witness the path again. I’ve just taken some Ibuprofen for my stiff neck, so don’t worry. 🙂 I’ve had the bad neck since last night, so can’t blame you.

Oh don’t worry, Dave, give credit where credit’s due – I’ve always wanted to be a pain in the neck really, a life choice I suppose …
And I’m glad you can see the wall! >>> thank you, and I hope you’re both well. Adrian 🙂
