Magic morning and images of a journey

I was going to do this post on iPhone photos taken of fragments of my recent trip to Japan; but ten minutes of beauty on this mornings early morning walk meant that I felt I just wanted to share both.

So first the ten minutes of colour from an early morning sunrise as I walked along Treehaven Way.

And then a few random images of fragments of beauty from the recent trip to Tatebayashi.

Over the last couple of days I have spent some in the garage-studio in the afternoons. I have cut and hammered heaps of metal; but because we are in another rather wet and cold period I have not been able to get to trim and polish pieces. I hope I can do a fair bit of that over Thursday and Friday and be in a position to share images of the fruits on my creativity on Friday.

  7. All wonderful photos, Barry, but like others, my favourite is Rust - nail, wire, corrugated wall - love that one. I think it would be beautiful framed - maybe in your shop?
