Clematis Armandii Leaves in the Evening After Rain
What's over the top? This is what Hermes and Debbie asked when I showed this photo on 'Pictures Just Pictures'.
. . . This is what you see when you come over the brow on this stretch of path.
Portland Harbour - where the sailing events for the 2012 Olympics will be taking place - and Portland in the distance.
Not that I recommend you take your eye off the path, or you'll be tumbling down here.
Over and over, people make new paths as the old ones crumble away;
higher, then higher . . .
So that's what I do now - take the higher path, in case that next edge is ready to tip.
There are lots of little coves below; each one protected from the waves by boulders. They loop in and out like a lace edging.
Gorse burns - and there's a lot of gorse round here. This fire was recent; the smell of burning so strong it may still have been smoldering. On the way back, I met women bringing buckets of water to put out a smaller fire before it spread.
This is another photo from Pictures Just Pictures, 'Rusted Rails Near Ferrybridge'. This is where the path I was on meets with the route of the old line to Portland. When I first walked here, the tracks had been lifted but there was nothing but broken stone under foot. It has a tarmac surface now and lots of people walk or cycle in and out of town along it. Great! Except I feel a bit churlish. It was nice to be here when hardly anyone else was!

One can get absolutely hooked on photographs. You can see it in lots of blogs - bloggers begin with a blog about a particular subject and use photos to illustrate it . . . and gradually shift over into discussing the cameras they take them with . . . then the settings . . . Photography is as addictive as blogging itself!
I like this picture. I'm always interested in trying new things with the camera. This looks very interesting.
What can I say except love that snap!

Looks like a creature that will appear in one of your stories
Hello James.
One of the ways I like the Armandii photo is that it seems almost black and white but the washing line remains green.
I admire your photos.
Thank you Joyce.
Until you left your comment, Mo, I hadn't thought of the Clematis Armandii silhouettes looking like creatures. Now I see what you mean and they suddenly look a bit creepy!
