Didn’t have to do mud here today because it was book club day and this was the way to the hostess’s property! Along a wonderful coastline! Sometimes Hector Dolphins are seen along here. You can see the volcanic activity here in these cliffs which interests geologists so much! I think I must be one - not a cliff but a geologistess!
Three good things:
1.I feel blessed with my wonderful friends on 365!
2. Everybody except me wore high heels for this Book Club meeting - and there were no men there!
3. As we don’t have a set book to review, we all talk about the books we have read. Except me - I’m always on 365 as it is fundamentally more interesting with lots of fascinating stories! History, geography, literature, fun, laughter, holidays!
I only ever wear high heels about twice a year!! New Years Eve & perhaps another time....great coast line .......book club is a good name for a coffee morning! I would like to go to a book club bit not sure I would want to read someone else's choice!
@happypat I'm the same - over the years, have avoided reading a book that someone has chosen to 'read'! Too much like school English to me! Our book lot seem to like shoes and talk a lot about them, I hide my comfy sneakers under the chair!
I never think to edit coast shots in b and w but it works wonderfully. I had to laugh re both your heel-less-ness and you being a geologista. Made me think of my daughter in law who hiked a grueling Grand Canyon trail with my son and husband and showed them every rock and gave them geology lessons galore. They loved it. She said her family was bored to death with her rocky interest
Beautiful coastline. We, in our book club, read four books every winter. They have been chosen from a long list by a group of people. On the short list are four books that all of us have to read; we usually have very interesting discussions.
Wonderful craggy cliffs and surf lines. Begone, you high heels, that give a girl some mean bunions! I liked your comment about my mailman... maybe, if you buy him a ticket to NZ, he will happily deliver a Lensbaby. ;)
Why is it that I enjoy seeing other people's mono pictures whereas I never fully like mine? This is beautiful and crisp. Quite a few words must have been said at the meeting with all the women and no men around to stop them, haha.
The last time I wore high heels I almost broke my ankle! Not meant for me now- but I admire anyone who toughs them out. (Actually from my days working in a shoe store, I know for a fact that they are horrible for your feet- but too many of us would rather sacrifice our health to style!) I have the same trouble with reading- 365 is so much more fun! LOL Love your coastline- so rugged but beautiful. Great shot!
Beautiful light and subject here. Good for you for not bothering with high heels. I am also on 365 a great deal--or out taking pictures, or looking at, weeding, and processing them. No time for a book club. But I have been re-reading a book by a Canadian photographer called Freeman Patterson, who happens to be my favourite photographer. He published several books during the predigital era, and new editions for the digital era have come out. I still have the old ones and think there is a lot useful and inspiring stuff in them.
i just finished five books, maggiemae. it is my de-stresser, especially that they are tremendously good books; excellently written and the plots riveting! that seriously cut my already cramped time on 365. i so missed reading marathons which i used to do a lot before 365. it felt good but then photography always beckons and I'm too addicted to stop!
@summerfield I can read books when I'm away very easily but not so much at home - there always seem to be dishes to do, walks to walk, meals to cook, photos to take!
What a wonderful route to your friend's house!! I am in total agreement with you in that high heels should never be worn unless absolutely necessary, and then only for maybe an hour! And, 365 is full of wonderful stories from all places around the world.....I think reading them while viewing the wonderful photos is our guilty pleasure! ;-)))
