Sitting in the Dragonfly Cafe in Lismore a few years ago (pre-flooding events) The white walls and simple pictures and decore drew me in and I had to grab a photo and playing with the settings on my phone photo software, these images were the result.
A lovely song from way back when to enjoy
The colour version
More black and white
Quite washed out with the whites trying to dominate
As you can see I am not all that good using my phone for a camera
I intended to do a selection of YOUR favourite photos over the year. Graham from Hawaii had a great idea so I am going to steal his idea for my 2022 wrap up. Grab a photo from a post and add the post link in case you would like to see more of what is in that post.
It appears my home page and my photo challenge, Last on the Card, are the two most popular pages on my blog every month. So I have selected the most popular post for the month. Let me know if your favourite photo appears.
I started this post on Sunday but the original went away from being beautiful. This is a dark post as well but I find that once we are in the dark, then mystery can be all around.
The fire was lit to celebrate the Winter Solstice the warming glow smoke drifting into the trees
The sun was setting casting a stillness over the bush birds at roost silence only broken by sounds of cars in the distance on the highway heading home from working in town
A car drives down my road the crunch of gravel another coming home for dinner Here’s cheers to the Winter Solstice a wine and snacks crackers cheese olives sopressa the warmth of the fire
The sky darkens the bush is quiet all are home the faint sound music from down the road the faint reverse beeping of the final truck to leave the quarry silence at last darkness decends
The final embers the final glow of a winters day Winter Solstice goodbye my friend until next year when a fire will be lit to celebrate the Winter Solstice
