On returning from the trip around Great Yarmouth with Ms. With A K, I decided to do some spontaneous tasking for the first time in a while.



So, the camera that was used here is nothing special. It has no manual setting, and forces overexposure in darkness. In some cases, however, I like the way the trails of light move off into the dark.

Yes, I took more photos than this, but I deemed them unsuitable, or uninteresting.

Reflections

Reflections

This is my favourite photo. I love how the trails smudge into the water like a painting

The lamps pierce the sky


The Bridge

The Bridge

"Bridge Business" sounds like a poor sitcom about trolls

A minimalist shot

The lights reside in the distance.

The way the lights all travel the same way and make the same shape is so beautiful

Good Things Come

Just... wait.


Rorschach

What do you think it looks like?

I support this photo. I look like a sepia ghost

The roads, inhabited at this time by only cars and


Warning

Locked behind the fence. This is around where I lost the camera case


Shadows

Shadows

I love the way that when you're walking on the pavement, and a car comes up behind you, your shadow becomes really long, then as you keep walking, it stops, and then shoots off behind you, like a spirit caught in the wind.


Ghostly

More apparitions


Spotlight

Another of my favourites


Intrigue

Intrigue

I don't know what this is exactly, but it was sort of like a giant black Tic-Tac with tyres all around it.


The Harbour

Don't you find it interesting how the circle of light on the left is cut through by another beam?


The Harbour, Pt. 2

The Harbour, Pt. 2

The ship is huge. It doesn't occur to you how big it is without really getting up close


Pawprints

In the concrete. This was one hefty dog!


Up Close

Up Close

The pawprint up close and somewhat fuzzy. It made me smile

And then there is the blindfold. And the unicycle. And hitchhiking. And ice skates. And an urban iditarod style sled team. And the elaborate, fully costumed passion play processional, complete with a full size wooden cross. and. . . wow, good task.

Well, yes, but as we all know it won't work. After all, you can never cross the same bridge twice...
