VWS7849 © Vee W Selburn 2013: The colourful building in the background is the Jennie Lee building. It replaced the former Jennie Lee Library building which was demolished. (A new library was built elsewhere on campus). Jennie Lee was the Minister for Arts when Harold Wilson was Prime Minister for England and both were heavily involved in the creation of the Open University in Milton Keynes UK, along with other prominent figures of the day. One of the larger office complexes on campus is named The Harold Wilson Building. Taken on a lunchtime walk around campus 22 January 2013.

Not what I would normally upload, but a work friend decided to have us all round for steak and chips (DAMN he can cook). But I decided to shoot the whole night using just my Holga and Sprocket Rocket. Here are the ones I liked, found interesting and just found aesthetically pleasing. Its something that I feel Ive seen before but never shot before, reminds me of a few different photographers work. Variety of films used inc' Neopan, XP2, and Portra (I think) with the addition of the Lomo Colour Splash film.

Only a short time left until all the colour is shed and a bleak winter is looming (according to some)

I’m not sure that I’d thought much about what kind of reaction I’d get when I made the announcement, but, if I had, the mute silence of indifference would probably not have topped my list of favoured responses. “Today, we’re going to climb a mountain!” I had just announced to my assembled family, as they gathered in the kitchen on a lazy Saturday morning.
If you’re thinking that was a somewhat strange plan to make a sudden pronouncement on, let me explain the context. I had been taking a slightly different route to work during the week, one that had taken me up the Hightown Road, over the back of Cave Hill and down towards the hairpin bend overlooking Belfast. With the glorious early spring sun we’ve been enjoying this week, the mountain was bathed in soft, inviting early morning sunlight, calling out to me all week: “Come and climb to the top – I have wonderful views to reveal to those who make it all the way...”
And so it was with anticipation that, when I woke on Saturday morning, with that same sunlight beckoning, that I was determined that the Hamill family would set off as intrepid explorers, one and all, all the way to the top.
“Mountain? Climb? Adventure?” I pleaded with my assembled family, but still without getting the required response of enthusiasm. The draw of the mountain was still strong for me, however, as its sunny peak had called to me all week, and I remained undaunted. And so it was following an inspirational speech from me to my little family (there’s nothing like words such as ‘character’, ‘endeavour’ and ‘perseverance’ to enthuse primary school aged kids, I’m sure you’ll agree) that we set off, admitedly with varying degrees of enthusiasm, geared up for our adventure. “I’ll bring my camera,” I thought to myself. “With the beautiful light, I’m sure to get a shot for this week’s theme of colour.’ We jumped in the car, and headed towards the Hightown Road.
And then the sun disappeared.
In typical Northern Irish fashion, a grey misty cloud descended, getting thicker and thicker as we approached Cave Hill, obscuring it in a monochromatic blanket, a dull, washed-out sameness. I must admit – even my enthusiasm waned at that point. But we were there, and in true Mastermind fashion, we had indeed started, and we were certainly going to finish. I got some pleasant enough shots of the girls clambering over the rocks below the waterfall and of that always mesmerising aerial view of our great capital city below. But everything was just so washed out colour-wise, and the photos all felt flat in the mizzly greyness of the mist.
And then a splash of vivid colour caught my eye.
The hills above Belfast are covered on gorse, a tough and resilient plant, thorny with grey/green leaves. Admirable, but not a thing of much beauty. But, during spring, after surviving another harsh mountain top winter, they show their hardiness by bringing forth a riot of colour, splashing the hills with a yellow hue visible from miles away. And, this spring day in early March, we just happened upon the first few buds emerging. They were a reminder that winter does not last forever, that life has a tenacity and endurance that surpasses expectation, and that hope can be reborn, pressing out through the thorns with a softness that triumphs over their pointed hardness.
Had the sun been shining that day, the flowers would still have been there, but they would not have stood out so much against the dreary background. But on this grey day, their yellowness was all the more vivid, a much more striking display of emergence, grace and rebirth than would have been seen on a ‘nice’ day.
And my little family? Well, there were more than a few moans and complaints on the way up, I’ll be honest. But there were far more adventures of the imagination, smiles and laughs of delight, children running and scrambling wild and free across the top of the plateau, and wonder and amazement that “You can see the whole world from here!” (Sophie, 5) when we reached McArt’s Fort at the top. These simple, yet profound, moments are the stuff of life and I, for one, was happy to live deeply in them that day.
Climbing Cave Hill on a grey, misty day would not have topped my favourites list had I been given a free choice. But I guess you just never know what wonders you’ll discover and experience, even in the most unexpected of times and situations
