This is the inside of the beautiful corten steel fire we've enjoyed this summer and autumn. The patina being created inside is rather beautiful, like a work of art. Pity about the poor photo quality but I liked the colours and gradients.

A Memory of Summer Suhl by Richard Savage

This was taken at the Much Marcle Steam Rally on 21st July 2018, although I've uploaded this image a few months later. Its accompanied by this little short story of summer that I hope warms you a little, lifting chilly mid-winter's veil like a welcome Gluehwein….

For quite some time, Britain had been in the grip of a heatwave, and this day was one of the hottest, with searing bright sunlight, a scorching heat and only the occasional unhurried cotton wool clouds ambling across the azure blue sky far above us.

I felt at home in shorts and T shirt, even if my kit rucksack was making my back warm. The fields were parched, the earth was cracked and grass had dried and become a crinkly golden straw, slightly crunchy beneath my walking boots.

With no breeze, the warm air was filled with the sweet smell of honeysuckle, hedgerows and hay, and metallic clanking of farm ploughs turning the dusty soil in the fields intermingled with the infrequent yowl of the tractor pull.

Glad to find a hay bale to sit on near the shade of a hedge I gently placed my camera bag next to me, and sipping lukewarm mineral water, watched an old, rusty tractor with not a fleck of paint on its ancient and weathered rusty patina stoically ploughing regular furrows with a lightness that contradicted its battered and well used years. The warm roughness of my Canon body nestled into my palm and felt part of me as this image was made.

Quintessentially English, this warm idyllic day scented by summer flowers was accented by capturing rich images of rural farming, the emotion of a long summer day in the fields, and the kind and lovable people who love to live and work the land.

For some time, I’ve been trying to decide if this should be black and white or full technicolor, but for now, monochrome has won out. That might change….

The anglo-saxon old-English word for plough is sulh, and it was arguably one of the most innovative early inventions.

MMM Earthy Patina by Carrie McGann

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Earthy Patina. It is also Labor Day here in the U.S.A. so I used some patina textures. HMMM!

This American Flag looks like it has worked very hard this year! It might be awhile, but better days are ahead.

I especially would like to honor our people who serve in law enforcement, firefighting and healthcare as well as people who work in the grocery and restaurant industries. You are appreciated!

Enjoy the holiday and please be safe.
