Ladder stairs

I tool this photo thinking the scaffolding had nice structure and lines and then the negative filter made it remind me of an exhibition I saw in Birmingham a couple of months ago about changing urban spaces.

The Figure at Loch Ossian

 

This photo was actually taken last year but I came across it and I still think it is as interesting. When walking up around Loch Ossian I spied this figure in the grounds of the estate house (as you can see the fence doesn't really obscure the view) but it looked odd, it felt as if there was something alien about it. He's far enough away that he might not notice me looking but I still felt a bit like I wasn't ment to see him standing there in silent contemplation... as it turns out he's a sculpture, and reminds me of something by Gormley. The close up below gives a better silhouette. There is something eerie, yet visually pleasing, about it and the trees, it makes me think of the walkers amongst the sentinel trees in the forest north of the Wall in Westeros.

An exhibition worth seeing... especially since it's free!

Night Rainbows

I recenty went to Salzburg Museum and saw a small photography exhibition by Junji Takasago. I had to buy the exhibition book (which is propped up on my desk) and he has since become one of my favorite photographers.
