The River Wharfe

Taken Early this Morning in Otley. Trees get caught here after very bad weather and hang out for a while. This is the same tree from two different angles. They also look much better in black and white.

Wharfe Meadows

Wharfe Meadows Park is a nice little park alongside the Wharfe in Otley. I walk through here every day and saw this shot a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, this morning the weather was good enough to actually make the shot.

After fiddling with the contrast and what-not, the image has some nice light and colour, but it’s missing that little something. Converting to black and white helps I think.

And last but not least. A tree (which I’m guessing is a cherry tree), which I noticed on the way in.

DIY Destruction

When my wife gets in the DIY mood, it usually ends in a desire to tear things down. She started pulling off the wallpaper in the box room only to discover three layers of wallpaper stuck to the wall with some supernatural adhesive that was holding on to the wallpaper with all of its evil power. What we were left with were holes that muggins here had to patch up. Thankfully I intervened before her desire to pull the walls down emerged into reality.

We had a good laugh about it though.

There were some garish colours left on the walls, which were a bit too garish on the second image. A mono conversion removes the distracting colours.
