The view from our curtain rail

I bought a 'gorilla mini tripod type thing' from the Lidl supermarket. The one's with the flexible legs. A bargain £5-99 price ! Only suitable for compact cameras, but a nice bit of kit to have in your collection.

This is my first attempt at using it !!

I stuck it on top of our lounge curtain rain, put my panny tz7 on self timer ......and hey presto this is the result......... me doing a stupid wave, my wife having a coffee, Ruby (our little whippet) having a snuggle with Jane, my daughter browsing facebook on her phone !

Oh and the canvas on the wall is our previous whippet...Lucy.

The wide angle nature of the camera has produced a half decent 'fun shot'.

I feel a mini series of 'views from unusual places' appearing on my 365...courtesy of my mini gorilla pod style tripod

I love this super fun shot, Phil, and *gasp* your wife let you take her pic from the front! :) Cute, cute, cute family, including whippets past and present! I'll look forward to seeing more views from unusual places!

Really fun shot Phil & the first time we have ''seen'' Jane!! Must have been a good laugh you rushing down to get there in time!!

We don't usually get to see so much of Mrs H! Very nice especially with a mad man in the background! Fabulous canvas.
