While exploring Iao Valley with my brother, I found this cool scene and wanted to see if i could get any whitewash swirls. I didn't get any swirls, but I was happy with the final result.

Liverpool St Salford, just couldn't quite get rid of the red wooden structure poking in on the left.

"The locust trees were in bloom and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air. Cardiff Hill, beyond the village and above it, was green with vegetation, and it lay just far enough away to seem a Delectable Land, dreamy, reposeful
and inviting.
Tom Sawyer appeared ... with a bucket of whitewash and a long- handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit......
Aunt Polly was determined to punish him by turning
his Saturday into captivity at hard labor, whitewashing a fence. .... Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of the unwhitewashed fence, and sat down discouraged."
Mark Twain
When I approached this man painting this infinite fence my intent was to make a picture where everything has a meaning. Where no one thing is the center of attention and all things are dependent upon each other to complete the narrative.
It took me a while to structure this shot getting that hill in the middle ground just above the fence line, that distant fence, the tree, and foreground all nicely tucked together.
There was an air of strangeness and beauty hovering above it all. I decided to leave the center empty and allow the viewer to read around the scene.
Is he in the act of painting? - or looking at the coyote out on the fallow field?
I struggle with so many of my winter shots. Sometimes I just give up but other times I find a "new" way to process something. I liked this post-processing look so I kept this one and saved the preset to tweak and try again.
Harrowdown Hill is the infamous hill where weapons expert Dr David Kelly's body was found in July 2003.
“I'll be found dead in the woods".... "There are many dark actors playing games” - Dr David Kelly (July 2003)
Lord Hutton, a law lord, who was to lead the Inquiry insisted in his opening statement that he was in charge, and he alone would decide what matters were relevant. 'This Inquiry is to be conducted - and I stress it - by myself', he said. 'This means that all the decisions have to be taken by me. Let me indicate now, so that there need to be no misunderstanding, what are the implications of what I have just said.
First of all, it is I, and I alone, who will decide what witnesses will be called. I also decide to what matters their evidence will be directed.
Lord Hutton was assigned to lead the Inquiry into Kelly's death by Lord Falconer of Thoroton, secretary of state for constitutional affairs who, coincidentally, was Blair's former flatmate.
Falconer, was nicknamed by the Conservative Party as one of "Tony's Cronies".
Whitewashed buildings in Goran Haven. The traditional cornish finish to otherwise dark grey walls made of granite, slate or cob.
This small, whitewashed Catholic church in Puerto de Las Nieves near Agaete, Gran Canaria, has been in existence for more than 500 years, but the building as it is today is the result of constant renovation and extension over the years. It was built beside the fortified tower which the Spanish captain Alonso Fernández de Lugo erected in 1481 to facilitate the conquest of the island. It was the captain himself who dedicated the chapel to the Virgin of Las Nieves.

Évora is one of the most popular places to visit in Alentejo region, known for its beautiful whitewashed houses. It is the historic capital of the Alentejo.
Mother Ivey’s Bay takes its name from the legend of Mother Ivy who was a local white witch who cursed a local family. It lies just around the coast from Harlyn Bay. Cushioned from the wind by the Merope Rocks.
Mother Ivey was a white witch and vocal member of the community, She used her charms and spells to fight harm and wrongs. She was very seldom angry, but one man who lived in Harlyn tried Mother Ivey’s patience to its limit.
In those days wealth came in the form of pilchards. They were caught and salted and sent to Italy for Catholics to eat on fish Fridays and in Lent. While the fish merchant grew rich, the Cornish fishermen’s families went hungry.
One week, a ship carrying a large cargo of pilchards was returned from Italy unsold. Every villager came to see the ship in, hoping that their bellies would soon be filled. The Fish Merchant took the fish off the ship and up the hill to his farm. Mother Ivey pleaded with him to allow the villagers to eat the fish as it was still good enough to eat even though it could not be sold.
Instead, the fish were ploughed into a field as fertilizer. Mother Ivey was very angry, The people she spent her years helping were in desperate need of the food that had just been denied them. She went to the Fish Cellars and cursed the merchant's field:
"Break the soil, Death will follow,”
And it did. The next year, the merchant ploughed the field and planted corn. A few weeks later his eldest son was out riding his horse, when he fell off and was killed. No one has taken a spade or a plough to the field since, for fear of what may happen. The field lays fallow to this day.

Paternoster is known for its seafood, especially its lobster, and its white-washed fishermen’s cottages. Located on the West Coast, 15 km north-west of Vredenburg and 145 km north of Cape Town, at Cape Columbine the village has a population of around 1,900.
One of the oldest fishing villages in South Africa, it a stronghold of Cape Coloured culture, and especially Coloured cuisine, and is increasingly marketed as such by South African tourism authorities. At under two hours’ drive from central Cape Town, this once impoverished community is now being gentrified by weekenders and retirees, with upmarket new restaurants opening, and becoming rather ‘larnie’, as South Africans put it.
The origin of the name remains unknown. Many people believe that the name, which means ‘Our Father’ in Latin, refers to prayers said by Catholic Portuguese seamen when they became shipwrecked. It appears as St. Martins Paternoster on an old map of Pieter Mortier so the name may be derived from Paternoster Row in the City of London which is adjacent to St. Martins Court. Other people believe it refers to the beads that the Khoi tribe wore that were called Paternosters.
The climate is mostly known for its infrequent rainfall, dry countryside and high offshore winds. The area receives most of its rainfall during winter and has a Mediterranean climate. This photo was taken on a baking-hot late Summer January day when the mercury reached 37C!
