OUTER SUBURBS 110 – CINDERFORD GLOS (MONO)

The shadows of a fence and streetlight, falling across a pavement and onto a road.  And a drain cover from long ago – probably before WWII –  when such things were still made around here (Cinderford being a town in Glos. (= Gloucestershire)).

OUTER SUBURBS 106 – PETROL STATION

 

 

.

Canopy above the pumps in a supermarket petrol station.

Walking towards the supermarket on a beautifully sunny morning when, right in front of me,  this great, green and dark brown structure seemed to be floating up towards the clear blue sky.  There were three bands of colour – blue, green and dark – and then the less Minimal, more cluttered, human world below.

OUTER SUBURBS 105 – PLANE TREES (MONO)

Up close and personal with a Plane tree in a rather upmarket street in south Bristol; there is another Plane across the road.

Very tolerant to pollution, these big trees are often planted beside roads.

OUTER SUBURBS 104 – PARADISE REVISITED

 

 

.
Awhile back, I posted a picture of this tree on a misty autumn morning – and instantly thought the resulting very simple scene a portrayal of Paradise.  Several of you agreed.

Happily, this tree is often along the routes of the long walks that I take through Bristol’s outer suburbs, and often I see it daily.

And so to a misty morning in spring, and it being resplendent in its flowers.  Paradise revisited?  Well its got my vote.

OUTER SUBURBS 103 – FOGGY MORNING 3

 

 

.

Main road; early morning; fog.

Technique: selective desaturation of colour: the green lights are the main thing here and the morning was in any case very grey, but I’ve desaturated the yellows and blues of the crossing control boxes mounted on the traffic lights’ poles, and also the traffic cones standing on the traffic islands, to remove distractions and give the green lights greater prominence.  Another method would have been to convert the image to mono in Silver Efex Pro 2 and then restore the lights’ colours.

There are earlier foggy morning pictures here: 1 2 .
