Salt 'n Pepper - phone cam photo

Phone cam photo: an intriguing view from the discussion after this evening’s BBC Photo Club which was a presentation by James Burns of londonfromtherooftops.
This image is illustrating the point that you can make a photograph almost anywhere now that we all carry cameras in our phones.
Thanks Mihaiela

My photo of the statue in Hyde Park: Physical Energy by George Frederic Watts OM RA

G.F. Watts’ horseback figure is one of the many fine statues in London’s Hyde Park. He uses a monumental sculpture to portray its opposite, the dynamic horseman riding against the wind.
Last night’s autumn gales have left few leaves on the trees,  revealing the clouds scudding along in the sky above.
I'm trying to show in 2D the concept which the statue shows in 3D.

Physical Energy by George Frederic Watts OM RA (1817-1904)

JH in the gilded cage at Boijmans museum, Rotterdam (NL)

The sculpture Apollo is open to everyone. To me, it is a circular gilded cage placed on the black and white striped tiled floor of the central courtyard of the Boijmans Museum in Rotterdam. The Berlin-based artist, Olaf Nicolai (b 1962) explains his work depicts a football pitch where the movements of the players are evident to everyone, the floor is a sports playing surface and a football is supplied with the exhibit.

Thanks to my friend Wolf
