Light Pollution

Design, Photography

Sleeping on a blow-up bed in the study for a couple of nights I awoke in the dark to this cheerful scene. The blue and green of the answering machine and the broadband router glowing away in contrast to the softer, warmer light of the sodium street-lamp, casting soft shadows of delicate foliage outside the window and wooden slatted blinds on the inside. In a sleepy fumble and with blurry vision, guessing at camera settings, I tried to hold the camera steady for the long exposures but I think I like the inevitable soft-focus result.

Glenys Cour

Art, Landscape, Painting, Photography, Web Design

At last the website is done – it has been a project for longer than I had intended but its there now for all to see.

Glenys is a true artist, she paints every day and is never happier than when she can be standing at her easel. She is as enthusiastic now as she has ever been and her work is still as glorious and joyful as ever.

Glenys did not want to entitle most of her pieces so you will find no titles at all, as it seemed wrong to label some and not others.

Please leave any messages for Glenys on this blog and I will make sure she sees them – she may even reply – if she can spare time away from her brushes.

Skies from the train to Swansea – 11th July

Photography

On the train going West in sunshine and rain. The English countryside is at its peak of greenery, the sun has not yet singed the green to brown. Majestic skies, rain clouds sweeping across the landscape in a veil of pearly grey, in the distance patches of blue and white appear, to remind us that it is summer.

These images were snatched from the streaming landscape as we rushed westward, the blue tinged reflections of the train strip-lights adding some false sense of dimension.
