Convenience Store

Cee’s B&W Challenge this week asks for storefronts or signs, so here is a quick shot of a small local convenience store front taken from a bus window in the passing… 🙂

Squiggly Tree

Cee’s B&W Challenge this week asks for crooked, squiggly, and curved lines – so I thought this spectacularly squiggly tree would be the perfect contender, as its branches are definitely all three 🙂

Light Trails in the Rain

Light trails in the rain at night cut a curving line of white through the city darkness, where monochrome shades of grey hold the image together far more completely than the full colour version 🙂

Weekly Prompts: Greyish

Washing Up Water

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week asks for something you make use of every day, so I wanted to find something a bit different…

This is my un-emptied kitchen sink washing up water sitting in a grey plastic basin, surface vibrating gently as the washing machine underneath the counter was building up to its fast spin. I grabbed my phone and captured the shapes made, and was really happy with the effect!

Definitely something I use every day – well, not the same water, obviously, but the basin remains the same 🙂

Monochrome Dresser

Cee and Dan have joined forces this week for a Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Doors and Drawers and Thursday Doors combination, so here is my contribution in the shape of our vintage up-cycled Ercol oak dresser with its two drawers and two cupboard doors.

Incidentally, our dresser has a really simple catch to open/ close the doors – the little elongated knob in the middle moves side to side just a small amount (inset within its own little groove), just enough to allow each door to open (one at a time), and when in its central position it holds both doors neatly closed – no metalwork or magnets or anything more than a beautifully carved wooden catch, proudly visible for everyone to see.

See images below for details 🙂
