Black & White photo #9: A Country Stile

This week it's another Norfolk shot, this time from a walk we did around Castle Rising. There were a couple of stiles along the way and for a confirmed City dweller they just scream countryside to me!  It looks like it's had some wear and tear along the way too and is now looking decidedly lopsided, ah well I think that adds to its charm.

I'm linking up with Charly over at PODCast so for more black & white photos be sure to pop over there. 

Black & White photo #8: It's windy in Norfolk!

It does always seem to be windy in Norfolk, so now when my parents say it's been windy that translates to it's been more windy than normal - they've been living there for ten years now, so have clearly acclimatised!

For me, this photo sums the Norfolk countryside up - beautiful and just a little bit windswept!

The tree at the forefront of the picture is clearly in a windy spot and has just decided to go with the flow ...or should that be blow?

I'm linking up to the Black & White photo project with Charly over at PODCast so if you pop over there you'll find more black and white shots. 

Black & White photo #7: People watching

On a windy May afternoon on Holkham beach I spent some time people watching*

It's the best thing ever, as you never know quite what you're going to see...

He was showing her how to fly a kite. 
She was patiently watching, listening and learning.  
He just wanted to show her one more time.  
She ran off, her attention distracted elsewhere. 
And all the time we knew he was enjoying himself so much...   
...that he was never quite going to let her have a go!

I'm linking up with Charly as part of her Black and White photography project over on

, so pop over there to see more black and white shots. 

* I don't know these people but spent ages watching them having fun with the kite, so if it's you thank you, you made me smile that day!
