Lovely texture, but also, I love Olive bread.

I'm almost two weeks behind and life is getting hectic again. This is another PABD shot just so to tick another week off. I was out with some friends for lunch during an unusually hot and sunny day here. I noticed these Shadows of the line of trees while waiting for the others. A quick snap to fulfil the theme.
Note: The tree branch is for added interest.

Week 14 Shadows

Cheers, Pete. It was a hot day too, with 25.5ºC in the car when I returned.

Great shot and good use of technique. Not too fast and not too slow

Nice shot, bit of interest on the horizon, water looks good and nice detail in the rocks

Cheers, Keith. It was deliberate to have the wind turbines in the distance to add interest to the shot. It was quite tricky to get to the water's edge for me anyway.

 

[Kell]

Lovely composition and the long exposure works well here too.

Thanks Kell, I thought the Snapper's Choice week would be ideal to get the Technique shot done.

 

[rpn]

That's me up-to-date with this.

Cheers, Dave. It ticked the box!

 

[Kell]

I think it did more than tick the box.

A lot of us have gone for a similar appraoch this week I'd say, but this is one of the better ones.

What Kell said

 

[Darkslinger]

Your snapper's shot is awesome! I'm a little jealous...

And the "after the rain" shot really captures the mood of the challenge

This multi-colour rainbow staircase takes you to the upper garden level of a shopping centre.

Week 17 Stairs

[Boots]

That is quite a sight! All the better for the absence of colour around the outside.

The colour steps have been there for years but repainted recently.

 

[SimonH]

Gosh! They're colourful Stan! Great capture.

Thanks, Simon. According to the local council, the colours represent the original LGBTQ+ pride flag.

Wow, guess you didn't take long before deciding on the subject for this week

 

[eoSimon]

Great subject and picture !

Wow, guess you didn't take long before deciding on the subject for this week

Cheers, Keith. Actually, it wasn't my first choice. I was thinking about another staircase also in the city centre that is locally known as 'The Killer Stair' as it has over 60 steps with only one 'landing' at halfway.

Great subject and picture !

Thanks, Simon.

 

[Kell]

They look great.

Nice angle.

Have you desaturated the outside or is it all really that grey?

Thanks, Kell. Well, I'm from Aberdeen, the (grey) granite city!

Very vibrant, they really stand out.

 

[Darkslinger]

Really nice, great image Stan.

 

[Cloudforest]

That's so colourful Stan and nicely portrayed.

Terrific Snapper's Choice shot too.

 

[AlanDorset]

Irresistible, those stairs

 

[rpn]

Haven't been here for a few weeks since my last visit and am getting behind again. Just when life is moving forward slowly, then BANG!.... 10 paces back. Hopefully, all should be back on track again, and here I am, a quick mini catch-up.

Week 18 Geometric + Black & White Technique

That's hardly behind at all!

Nice image for the theme.
