A Bookish Abstraction

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 9th of August is "multicoloured abstract", which I won’t deny had me flummoxed at first! What on earth could I photograph? Then I remembered a photograph that I took a few weeks ago. It was just by chance that I thought to take it. A friend had been clearing out an estate and came across a rather lovely book of glass published in the 1960s which they thought I might enjoy. I have been enjoying it, but as much for photography purposes as for reading material. I had been photographing the book in the sun, and as a result of being in the pool of warmth, made more intense by the fact it was coming through the my French doors in my sun room, the bindings had begun to distort which made the pages open sightly. I rather liked the fact that some of the pages clumped and others didn't, and that glimpses of the colourful end pages and print could be seen. I thought it made for an interesting abstract as it were. I hope that you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile
