Two Little Houses, Two Little Gulls

Folkestone Harbour this evening. There were three little gulls but sadly one flew off as I approached down the slipway.
Cool composition. Didn't we use that one house in a WWYD challenge?

@homeschoolmom I think that was the little yellow one on top of the cliffs - the little pink one sits on a pontoon in the harbour and the little orange one at the end of the pier was one of the last to arrive:) I shall miss them if and when they are removed - the little yellow one was dismantled some while ago.

Great harbour scene and a beautiful capture of it.

Good shot

A very cool photo. I love how the hoouses could appear to be theirs.

I so love these houses, they look to be wearing well too.

So wonderful

Very lyrical Felicity, could be the beginning of a nursery rhyme. Love the shot.

Great shot

Always fun to see this harbour and its little houses. Surely they seem to move around!
June 3rd, 2018  
Oh such a lovely shot !
June 3rd, 2018  
Love the colours and composition :)

It looks very tranquil. Low tide and muddy when we were there - and lots of 'works' out of shot!

Lovely

great capture

A lovely composition and peaceful scene. Fav!! 😀

What is with the little houses? Are they some form of art installation?
June 3rd, 2018  
@helenhall Yes, the artist is Richard Woods and his work featured in the last Folkestone Triennial in 2017. The little houses dotted around in random locations were meant to emphasise the shortage of affordable homes in the area.

Oh my what a beautiful scene!

I love this sweet shot! What an interesting way to make a statement about the lack of affordable housing. It seems like everyone has that problem. If only we could figure out how to distribute wealth a little more fairly. I know how but I don't think anyone is interested in letting me rule the world!

I like this a lot -- I like the meaning behind the small houses and what they remind people to think about. I wonder if you'd cropped out the third pole, keeping both houses, if you'd have the composition you wanted but with 2 birds instead of 3. I sort of like 2 birds, 2 houses, 2 posts.

Those little Richard Woods houses are always so striking. This is a lovely shot full of life and colour. I like @taffy's idea - I think that crop would work well.
June 4th, 2018  
@taffy Thanks for that, it's a very valid point. Will have to get out of the mindset of thinking in threes - I was fixated on the three seagulls on the three posts (before one flew off, that was)!
June 4th, 2018  
A very striking shot with a message. The houses certainly add that splash of colour to the scene.
It's A FAV!
June 4th, 2018  
Those little houses are so cool! Terrific photo! :-)
June 4th, 2018  
such lovely tones..I confess, I like the right side of this shot most.
June 5th, 2018  
I agree with Taffy on this, great shot though.
