Daily Dog Walk View !

Part of our daily walk(s) with Ruby take us by St. Mary's Church in Arnold.

I've posted 4 pictures of the church on my 365, but I've never shared this view. This is a path leading around the back of the church. It's quite a nice little path ...trees shrubs and a church.

I usually like to 'bob down' quite low when taking paths / roads, but as I had whippet, bags, umbrella and camera I decided to shoot from eye level.

cool shot - love the image of you trying to bob down with bags, whippet, umbrella etc!!

[Charlene Barker]

Love setting to see every day while walking the dogs. Beautifully done in b&w

[Cherrill]

Oh this is nice! Looks like one of those old postcards you see at fairs in boxes. Quite timeless, you could sell this to the church :-) One whippet + bag + brolly = excellent picture tho I am with Juliette on this one @sparkle a good image is conjured up!

[Steve Hollingsworth]

Nice looking place great snap .... "whippet, bags & bobbing" is that legal Phil ..lol...

[ShadowDancer]

Beautiful b&w composition. I like how the tree is "reaching" into the picture.

[Pat Knowles]

We all like to imagine you bobbing down low with all your baggage Phil by the sounds of it !! This is a lovely little path by the side of the church & I think the composition of this photo is lovely! I like the placing of the tree ,hedge & then the tower in the middle ..lovely !

[John Brown]

Churches always seem better in B/W ,nice shot.

[Kerri]

Beautiful black and white

[Judith Greenwood]

No need to go bob bob bobbing along - I like it very much from eye-level.

[peter/zipp]

hhaha i'm laughing at all your bob bob bobbing comments!
Nice one, like to see these everyday views. Need a Ruby's eye view at some point.

[Allison Williams]

This reminds me of an old book we have on our library on the British Isles. Lots of B&W photos of lovely picturesque scenes.

[Jennifer C]

[patsyj]

I really like this angle of the church and the bw..of course, I have liked all the images you have posted of the church..

[Sue Wilde]

This is a beautiful image. As the others have said, it's very British Isles. Excellent choice of B&W

[Tashy]

My favourite view of the church so far, looks so rural and peaceful. perfect in b/w. amazed you had a steady enough hand with ruby umbrella and bags weighing you down!

@happypat Pat, thank you for your kind words, I was desperate to get down a little lower, but ruby had another agenda, the hedges were too good not to 'sniff' :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@sparkle ha ha juliette, i'm always carry lots of thinks walking ruby:)

[Frances Chaloner]

Lovely photo it has a nice timeless feel to it - like the old church :-). I love the idea of a Ruby view point shot! I saw these cameras you could buy that were time lapse and attached to the dog or cat collar so you got a series of shots from their day. Great idea but they were very unreliable so I did not bother. I once saw a tremendous Australian film about a dog that was entirely filmed at dog eye level and perspective it was superb. I have searched for it on the internet but have been unable to find any reference to it at all. It was cult at the the time (70's or possibly 80's I'd guess) and Aus films were very good indeed. Oh dear I am getting carried away...
