Felling

Rain rain go away! Nothing but rain all day so I haven’t been out all day except to church then the chippy tonight.
There is a little dog in the above photo somewhere!
Beacon Fell, felling the storm damaged trees.
You can see the lights of the big machine in the distance!

Three good things:
1. The Saturday papers & plenty of time to read them.
2. Built in rubbish bins…..
3. The ability to cancel something after being struck with buyers remorse!

Very nice. It looks like the one on the right is in the act of falling.

Nice b&w image.. yes looks like you should get out of there..
We having cyclone weather at mo hasn't bought Temps down just even mugger as can't have things open because of strong winds..

[Maggiemae]

There would be lots of mud around including some on this wee black dog! Worth a photo!

[Carole Sandford]

Nice black & white capture!

[Pat Knowles]

@tinley23 @julzmaioro @maggiemae I thought when I posted this that the tree looked as though it was toppling….I never noticed at the time & poor Connie is almost right underneath!!

[Joan Robillard]

There will be some of that when spring comes here too I suspect.

[Hazel]

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful in mono - a huge praise from me Pat !!! ha ! fav

[Granny7(Denise)]

Good B&W

[Phil Howcroft]

I am loving your mono series Pat, I think I can see the dog

[Dianne]

Looks great in b&w. You’d better up your dog sitting skills or Connie will be removed from your care... big winds here at present.

[Graeme Stevens]

Great processing and textures in here

[GaryW]

I see the dog! Your lumber jacks do a clean job of felling the trees! Ours leave a mess!

[Jane Pittenger]

Ditto GaryW

[Boxplayer]

Found the dog. We've been lucky, not much rain here at all recently.

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Issi Bannerman]

This is a great capture! Despite the devastation of the felled trees.

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl I’m actually beginning to like b/w at certain times! 😳😳🤔

[Pat Knowles]

@dide yes Dianne & our grandson William has been out numerous times with the fire brigade in Morrinsville…..one was even described as a natural disaster on the text sent to his wife. A funny summer!!

@jamibann @bkbinthecity @boxplayer @jgpittenger @thewatersphotos @graemestevens @denful @quietpurplehaze @joansmor @carole_sandford

Thank you all, I thought it transferred into B/w quite well myself….I’m thinking I’m doing better & it’s a perfect way of utilising old photos in a different way when I’m not going out much!!

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft I’m getting there Phil! I like certain photos in b/w such as street scenes & portraits & it’s interesting seeing which works. Thank you.

[Peggy Sirk]

This works well in black and white. I'm thinking that logging road must be a slick of mud after all of your rain.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Was there 3 men there Pat, you know what I mean, "Tree Fellers". FAV

[Judith Johnson]

Great shot, loving your black & white series
