Hello everyone.
Today’s assignment nearly beat me. Not because I couldn’t find anything to shoot; no I couldn’t find an end result that I liked! Am I getting too picky?
I tried little model motorbikes perched on the fender of one of my Harleys. Ants climbing over pebbles. Golf balls, tennis balls, rugby balls. I couldn’t stand any of them.
Time to get out on two wheels and find some inspiration!
A gentle trundle around the Northern edge of Bodmin Moor took me to the old air-base at Davidstow. I’ve blogged about this place in the past, it’s one of my favourite locations to go for a bit of fresh air and thinking space.
I can palpably feel history in the air here, but apart from the ghosts of the past and the odd walker the only other inhabitants are the sheep. . . and that’s when I got an idea!
Looking West I could see there were some sheep enjoying the last of the evening sunshine and they were nicely silhouetted on a small hummock.
I hope that this shot gives some idea of the wide open space that is Davidstow and puts a form of scale to the view!
Catch you soon.

¡Excelente, qué bueno! Good choice. I love the waning light.

It’s one of those “Golden Hour” shots, I can’t resist them, especially into the sun!

I really like both of these. Ideally placed sheep enjoying the view – did you train her?

I could be facetious and say that i tied them down. . . but no, they were both incredibly co-operative and helpful, even though they were hundreds of yards away!!!

You were much more motivated than I was for today’s theme…. it’s raining, I’m working, I don’t have much time, etc. etc. Anyway lovely views as always D… but you should have done a selfie in your bike’s mirror 😉
