A Quiet Country View

[nickjohnson]

This is a typically Northumberland rural view. Thousands of people pass this every year without giving it a glance. The path in the foreground running left to right goes between Craster and the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Are you engaged by my interpretation ? Thanks for looking.

I'm afraid, Nick, that I'm having a horrifically difficult time being serious these days and all that I can think is that you need a sheep, somewhere down in the foreground, looking up in wonder at that cloud. The cloud is the most noticeable part of this image, for me. The rest of the detail is so small or dark or flat or something, that it barely reads. but, as always, what do you think of my observation?

Hello Katy,
Your observation is very good. Truth is I struggle to engage anyone except myself, and have even more of a struggle knowing when there is no point in offering an image for others to view.
BTW. Your sheep was there. It wandered along the wall It thoughtfully placed in the frame. It went from left to right, then up and over the hill on the horizon. On the other side of the hill it went on board a rocket and whooshed up to the cloud to take a closer look. Well - in my head.

I'm struggling to see anything in this one I'm afraid, but that could just be me tonight, as I have had all evening here on my own going through photos to edit and have not been happy with anything tonight.

On the other hand it could be that it's simply not good enough!

Landscape is nice but there's no strong POI... ;D
