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.

Bang

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom.

(For those who remember Blackadder.)

Looking back at my picture archive I noticed several cannon related pictures from my trip to Edinburgh last year.

taking a shot

This was something I noticed several people were doing, so my next stop was to see what all the fuss was.

along the cannon

This was what all the fuss was about.

The largest Cannon seemed to attract the largest crowd, and as I was waiting to take a shot, a Japanese guy saw that he was in the frame and rather than apologise and scamper out of the way, seeing I didn’t mind, he hammed it up which we both thought was quite amusing. A really nice guy.

Anyone in there?

Anyway. I’ve spent enough time going through my archive. I need to get out and shoot.

boom!!!
