Thames Riverscapes
I managed to find time for twenty minutes walking beside the Thames, at Moulsford, yesterday. It was beautiful, in an austere February way. Everything is still in that winter palette of neutral colours - greys, from blue pewter to silver lead, browns, from pale buff to greeny bronze, charcoal blacks that are not quite black and off-whites that are not quite white, with just a touch of mossy, green luminosity on the branches of the trees. Somehow it makes architectural shapes and patterns, especially in the reflections in the water, stand out very effectively. Here are a few pics so you can see what I'm talking about.

If I say you are almost as good a photographer as you are poet, do please see that as high praise not only for these pictures but also for all the others appearing on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of the colours of Winter being neutrals before, but you are quite right, they are.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely reflections in the photos Elizabeth, plus a sneaky coot here and there. Thanks for sharing these! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. It looks very cold and still. There's something very soothing about being by the water in the winter I find.
