A very interesting view, yet not a view, near Clayton and Ditchling. The wispy clouds seemed to showcase this nearly empty hill. The drinking trough was the only minor feature which wouldn't have stood out, had it not been for the nearby patch of mud which makes it look shadowlike.
The emptiness of the hill gave it a liminal feel. It was nice to look at so much greenery under a pleasant blue sky, yet it felt like I was standing in a graphics rendering engine, and somehow the feeling of the two worlds overlapped.
After twenty years working in the same building, my job has moved. These are my last shots before I go.

The Eyes and Ears of the Woodland the Heart and Lungs of the Highlands at Boleskine Burial Ground on the banks of Loch Ness

The trees see and hear everything outdoors. Their yearly growth is swelling good and tight bound bound bad as evidenced in their rings held within each branch. That we cannot see the eyes of the trees doesn’t show us that they are blind. Their ears work fine listening in to what we ignore. This tree at the edge of the Boleskine Burial Ground over looks both Loch Ness and the stones that mark the graves. The reflected image makes faces and fashions forms all along the edges of the pictures at their joins. The trees grow on season after season singing their song in the clear breath of the invigorating wind over their annual growth ring they are remarkably well skinned.

The Boleskine Burial Ground
I took a stab at one of the classic liminal space photos. I changed a few things of course, tried to streamline it. Now that I've done it I can take a look at it and see what works and what doesn't. I'm not happy with the light bley walls for starters, it feels too cold for a school. Tan would be a better choice although I'd struggle to fill that space with what I have. And I changed the lighting from the photo too; I'll do another shot with more overhead lighting and see what that looks like. Anyway, it's good fun playing with these eerie spaces in Lego.
Playing with another hospital set-up, with three different lighting arrangements.
My window is to the left and it's supplying the light here and it's a cloudy day outside today. I think I covered the skylights here to make a point of difference with the midday shot. I suppose the effect is if the corridor lights on this level are turned off for some reason. I suddenly wish I had a wheelchair piece to leave in the corridor. The only real Photoshopping is the faux 'exit' sign on the back wall and I brightened some of the window panes so that they looked more "glassy".
