Best of the Rest - Photography Week 40 & 41 (2016)

These are a selection of images taken during photography weeks 40 & 41 (3rd to 16th October, 2016) which were not included in previous posts:


Falmouth Harbour

The weather during early October was fairly indifferent and much of the week's photography was confined to close-up or abstract style compositions.

As I was passing the harbour in Falmouth at low tide, I took these shots of the inner wall lined with upright pieces of stone:




On a separate day, I captured these reflections at high tide:




Rock Studies

Rock studies on the seafront in Falmouth are one of my favourite subjects - as I have mentioned in a number of posts. What I have not included previously is a photograph that provides context to the close-up studies. Here I include an image taken near Castle Sands looking towards Pendennis Point and Castle. The low tide reveals the rock formation which provides the basis for the rock studies:














Falmouth Docks

The viewing area for Falmouth docks is high on a hillside. There is always plenty of activity with large ships receiving maintenance in the dry dock. On this occasion one of the ships had been fitted with a protective blue tarpaulin skirt:




Autumn Colours

Hints of autumn colour are beginning to show:




Street Art

There is probably a thin dividing line between graffiti and some street art. I guess it comes down to the purpose of the painting and what it is communicating. Some of the designs and colours are quite eye-catching:






Truro Cathedral

Lastly, looking up at Truro Cathedral with sunlight against heavy skies:
