15th place in "Picture of the month" for December 2008 at foto.no

Theme: The Countryside (På landet)

We were on our way back to Arundel from a walk along the river Arun in West Sussex when this man came towards us. I turned around and got a few shots until the dog stopped, turned around and started staring at me with an evil eye.

There is no harm in asking




















One day this autumn I saw this man sitting on a bench. I found it fantastic how the colours of his clothes matched the leaves on the grass behind him. He noticed that I was staring. I turned back and told him what I saw with the autumn colours, and would it be ok if I took a picture?

He smiled and said yes, of course. Then he suggested I should call the picture "Livets Høst" which translates to Autumn of Life. So that is how I got the picture and how the picture got its name.

It turned out he lived around the corner and smiled when I came by before Christmas with one copy for him and one for his daughter.

I did get an award for this image.There is no harm in asking.

Very proud as it was my second meeting in the club and first time I dared entering a picture!

Breaking the Surface


This is taken from above, just before she is breaking the surface. The image is shot on a boat holiday in Turkey. Kind of a bittersweet memory- the same group of women were on the same boat on the very same date in 2001.
