Another day, another squirrel

Whichever park you go to, there is a great chance you come across a squirrel or two or... I went out to simply get out for a while and soon after entering the park, I just had to reach for my camera. My subject was once again a squirrel.

I actually felt the stare coming from this little creature. Half hidden by the grass, this squirrel kept looking at me as if saying 'What do you want. This is my patch of the park'. Soon after, I was left to my own devices and the squirrel went off to explore its territory.

Which is why, yet again, I found myself chasing a squirrel with my lens enjoying it all with a big smile on my face.

To be honest, I also felt stupid since I would run after this little guy with my camera tripping over my own feet.



The squirrel was the one in charge here. Running from one patch of grass to another, eating whatever it found, jumping just as I pressed the capture button on my camera. Still, I enjoyed every minute of it. Stupid or not, it was fun.


Just look at the pictures. Aren't they fun?

Greenwich

In case you wonder what you are looking at, this is a close up from Greenwich Museum. One can easily spend whole day both indoors and outdoors exploring this rather important place on Earth. After all, we measure time from a line on the ground here.


Since I am not a scientist, this is as far as I would go with any scientific talk and begin to focus on what caught my eye this time I visited Greenwich.


I just love the combination of the subtle tones on these two photographs. Despite the fact that both were taken indoors I believe it was the sun shining through the glass roof and big windows that helped set up this atmosphere. Of course, the material of the propeller and the beacon also needs to be thanked for to catch my attention.


The shine & reflection, the yellows & greys, the lightness & darkness that would help break the images to simplicity. All of this is so similar to the two following and contrasting photographs. These are close ups of boats from some time ago.

Stripped bare from the decoration it is the colour scheme that I find so striking. So bold. At the same time, notice the harmony within the colour patches dividing the space on the photographs into such balanced sections.

Just squint your eyes and see...






Over the past few weeks I have collected number of inspirational images that have created ideas in my head. It is about time I started sketching them up so that you can see where I am going with my line of thinking. Just bare with me for a bit longer. The weather has been so good recently that I do not want to sit at home but prefer to go out and collect material for cold dark winter days. Therefore, enjoy the rest of this Indian Summer and see you with my next post. Kx
