HEAD

Needless to say, I'm struggling for inspiration after being away when a daily photograph is easy. Plus, as it's damp and dreich here at the moment, it doesn't lend itself to outdoors photography. So, as I was putting the ski boots away for another year, I thought they deserved a spot on my 365 album! I had a bit of fun in the utility room lying on the floor, arranging them for a semi-interesting shot.

Can't complain though. The wash is all done and back in the cupboards. I received a lovely bouquet of flowers from the kids yesterday (you may seen some of them on 365 tomorrow). Our gate and wall is fixed after the gas lorry 'incident' (we just need to get the insurance sorted out now). We have re-booked our weekend away in Invergarry - the one that was cancelled after John fell and broke his ribs (I just hope that the weather plays ball - not a given), and I had a lovely visit with dad yesterday, who was in excellent form.

thats a lot of drama - and this is an interesting perspective on ski boots - they have a real industrial look to them in black and white and without the snow context

[Diana]

Great shot of these heavy duty looking boots, so many details!
Wonderful news that everything else is sorted out and that your dad is in good form xx

[Christina]

I know just how you feel, traveling makes photography easy!

[Wylie]

ha ha , great POV, hope you got up OK!

[Maggiemae]

Those boots are made for skiing... and cost quite a lot! One of these days, the boots are going to 'walk all over you'..! You, as usual sounds so busy and so organised, I'm all in awe!

[Sarah Bremner]

Impressive POV, all looking great for storage time, and good to catch up. More Munro stuff at Invergarry?

[Joan Robillard]

Good time to try some techniques. Have you tried any?

[Brian]

Impressive POV choice

[Boxplayer]

Huge things

[Kathy A]

Great shot and list of positives

[Merrelyn]

From some one who has never tried to ski, they look a bit like instruments of torture 😂

[Beverley]

Fabulous pov! It’s wonderful when things roll into place and all is good! Great shot!

[Pat Knowles]

I have never skied so was interested to see up close your ski boots. They look rather heavy but I expect comfortable & roomy enough for thick socks. Our SIL loves skiing but have never seen any of his equipment. Perhaps he hires them as unlike you we don’t see much snow down here. You sound very organised & glad dad was chirpy.

[Casablanca]

Cool shot. Hubby owns his own boots these days too.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice pov and love your description of the weather

[Carole Sandford]

Nice pov !

[Dorothy]

Great POV. I had wondered if you took all your gear with you on the trains planes and cabs…guess you do. Look forward to the flowers and Invergarry.

[haskar]

Lovely pov and dof makes beautiful story.

[Phil Howcroft]

it's a super mono shot and yes the low POV works well , hope u got up OK after sprawling on the floor

[Corinne C]

A great image associated to your lovely narrative

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good shot- well thought out and well executed! Sounds like a nice return home after a lovely time away.

[LManning (Laura)]

Nicely composed.

[Kathy]

A serious boot.

[Rick]

Looks like a robot boot. :-)

[Islandgirl]

Great pov and focus!

[eDorre]

Cool shot and fun narrative

@sarah19 Yes, more Munro stuff. We're heading off later today, and trying for 4 - all weather dependent. Should be ok, though. Visibility will be the most difficult, I suspect.

[Issi Bannerman]

@joansmor Oh, I should, but that's not really my thing. One day I will though! It's a good way to learn.

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat We used to have all our own kit, but then skis changed and we never caught up with the new technology. We always have our own boots though - although these ones must be 18 years old, counting back!!! Still very comfy and in good condition, though. We rent skis and poles - it means you get the new technology and don't have to carry them!
