After jak's question about my 'windows' submission this week, I thought I would post the huts in context. This is a few hundred yards from our front door. It isn't the strip featured in 'windows', (which is about the same distance in the other direction), but I didn't have any of those that showed the proximity to the sea. This area is 'famous' for these Victorian huts. Funny how you stop seeing things when they are right in front of you all the time. This is a good example of that. You get a bit sick of it because in town there are endless photos, postcards, paintings, prints, posters etc etc etc of this sort of scene... and not all of the best taste. The huts are pretty though, no doubt. And, no doubt, I will appreciate them more when I am no longer here.
August 29, 2005. Canterbury. See here if you wish. I was browsing through some photos of the past and came by this. Thought it might be a good entry for light and shadow. I remember taking it, thinking that I liked how the shadows fell across the wall, liking how a story could be read into the image, and wondering if I could make a decent composition out of it.

September 3, 2006. My favorite lighting conditions. Switched to color just in time to catch the light hitting the front of the castle with the stormy clouds in the background.
A sneaky one taken from the coffee shop across the way. The streets behind Covent Garden. Missing London and all of it's charms. August 26, 2006.
