Back in the office

First day at work again. 3 days a week. Though I like being back, I still felt trapped inside.

Mark takes care of the children. He said he found the youngest of 10 months climbing on a small chair to get to the plums in a basket. The boys were fighting when the landlord came to check out the damp in one of our rooms. But then, when the children had some grapes and Sep wanted more and cried because there were none left, Lev gave him his last one.

Cool building.

Oh mama, that must be hard. Love your photo, though. great illustration for your point. I may have to start up working again and it's freaking me out. Don't know what we will do with the kids or what I can even do as I have bee so long out of the work world.

[Gwenllian]

Oh golly how hard to be back at work! Great image to represent your feelings. What a day for Mark, well done him. Glad he was rewarded by Lev's charm and generosity.

[Graham Thresher]

A super capture and I hope work goes well. FAV

[virtualbrownie]

Super shot - those blinds look like bars on the windows.

[Margaret Obey]

Poor you back at work. Hope at least it's enjoyable. Love the building in b&w.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@amandal thanks Amanda! I'm glad their dad is with them the days I work and vice versa. It's funny how the mind works, when I'm not with my children I miss them, but when I'm with them I sometimes wish I could escape for some peace and quiet.
Hope you find something that suits you!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@lleo thanks Gwenllian!
@thresheg thank you Graham, and for the fave.
@virtualbrownie much appreciated, the fave!
@ceilidh thanks Margaret, it's totally different than standing in front of a classroom full of children, but it's okay and not too stressful so perfect for me for now with three young children.

[Jan Rose]

Great shot, nice lines.

[Pyrrhula]

Ik hoop maar dat je van je werk houdt. In Nederland snap ik het niet zo. In belastingland is een plus een geen twee. Hoogstenst anderhalf. Nu moet je haast met z`n tweeen werken om te kunnen leven.
Maar, Mark weet nu wat drie kinderen opvoeden inhoud. Dat is ook een grote plus.
Het lijnen spel en licht vind ik mooi in deze foto.

[Call me Joe]

Cool lines- love it:)

[*lynn]

fabulous shot... fav

[Lin]

The perfect photo to convey your message - nicely capture!

[Angelieke]

Yes i get that you feel trapped with these windows. Great photo.

[Bill Fenske]

The cold colors seem to enhance the feeling of being trapped. Sounds as if Lev is a really great kid.

[Rachel]

It does feel like a prison with all those bars. Isn't it nice that the kids care for each other deep down.

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent shot

[Julia]

great shot!

[Suse♡]

Strong contrast fits here perfectly. I don´t blame you for feeling trapped, those strong bars would make me feel so too -where do you work that those kind of bars are needed!

[Iris]

This is a great shot, but it looks like a prison!! Hope it wasn't quite as bad - must be hard.

[Dione Giorgio]

A very busy day for Mark. I bet he preferred to go to work instead of you. Delightful shot to mark your feelings.

[Joyce]

Great that you and Mark can share the childcare it must help knowing that they are with him. Love the picture it's a really great B&W shot.

[Sam]

I know at work I always feel trapped!! Sounds and looks like you did too........:)

[Robyn]

Great lines and patterns

[Newbank Lass]

Trapped feeling portrayed well. Bless your boys. Mine are like that. Hope the bond lasts a long time. Hope you settle back to work ok.

[Lottie]

Good that you can still see the trees outside. Hope you get back into the swing of things soon :)

[Leon Buijs]

Great shot to show your feeling of being trapped inside

[Rachel]

Wonderful lines and pov, great contrast. Great b&w

[Penny Price]

Great B&W.

[Ivan]

Bit prison like - effective angle. Good in mono! Fav.

[Christine]

Hope you don't feel in prison at work! Impressive shot

[Boxplayer]

Oh yes know that trapped feeling, perfect image.

[Kathy]

Hey! Thanks for stopping by my page and leaving a comment!! Also big thanks for the tip on David Hilliard Photography!!! He's amazing!!!! I had never heard of him before.
I really love the lines in this photo. I would feel trapped too!! It has a cold feel to it when done in B/W like this...I think most photos do. At least the windows are large and there is a view!! Great composition and details!! FAV

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@joemuli @lynnz @graemestevens @ivan @cashew @jporcaro thanks for the faves!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Super illustration of feeling trapped. Especially when the sun is shining

[Pyrrhula]

Ik heb Uw comment gelezen bij Ivan. Je vergeet : Panorama Mesdag . Voor een Scheveningse toch het icoon van de nederlands schilderskunst .
Ooit weleens gezien ?

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@pyrrhula ja, dat heb ik gezien, ook zo mooi!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@ziggy77 thanks Jo for your nice comment and fav!

[Susan]

The emotional connection with the image is definitely there. very well photographed though sorry you felt trapped. If you want to meet up now you're back at work, let me know. Easy to meet in Bangor.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@dailydelight would be nice to meet up one day, but I only have half an hour lunch break. You work in Bangor too?

[Leah]

great lines, patterns, and b/w.
