Tuesday 15 December 2009: Abstract - sunlight on the stairs

Only 3 degrees C when I went out at 11 a.m. this morning. It had been colder earlier, maybe down to freezing during the night. I took photos of plants and flowers in the garden - the roses are still blooming - and some of these may appear on my blog later. The light on the walls and roofs seemed so bright but I wasn't happy with any of the photos I took. The sun's rays fall at such a slant at this time of the year that it's difficult to catch the effect of light and shadow I was looking for.

Back at home, this rather grainy shot of the low afternoon sun shining through to the stairwell looked best to me.

1. Rather nice angles, shapes and colours.. I would never have guessed it was stairs! Garden Bloggers Bloomday, hmm not much point me doing that, even though I'd completely forgotten about it.

4. I like this a lot. For some reason this sort of thing always makes me stop and look. Glad you blipped it!

5. Love the lines and the accents the light makes. I wouldn't have guessed stairs either - makes a great abstract!

6. I like the shapes of sunlight among the formal lines and angles.
