Keith Burton's photos

Taken indoors, using flash. Cropped and converted to mono and a white vignette added. (The rose was originally pink).

Or to give it its full name: The West Dean College of Arts, Design, Crafts and Conservation. You will probably know that I visit West Dean Gardens a few times a year and always post photos. This beautiful college is situated in the same gardens. It is not open to the general public, but you can walk past it and see how beautiful it is. More information here: www.westdean.ac.uk/west-dean-campus if you're interested. Best viewed large in my opinion. Thanks for looking and have a great week everyone!

The starlings near Eastney boat yard are very friendly.........especially if you have food in the car! There's another image in the PiP. Thanks for looking and enjoy your Sunday.

Dying leaves from a Horse Chestnut tree. Thanks to everyone who has visited my photo-stream over the past week or so, especially those who left a comment and/or a yellow star. Always appreciated and makes sharing worthwhile. Have a good weekend everyone...........and take care.

..............I really can't remember where I buried them!"

We went for a look around the boat yard at Eastney, Portsmouth this morning to see if there was anything to photograph. I've no idea whether anyone is actually living onboard this house boat, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was. It's not the most well looked after berth..!! Check out the PiPs for more untidiness!

This sign marks the end of a sewage outfall pipe off the beach at Langstone Harbour. I just thought it looked good against the sky.

Taken in Priory Park, Chichester, West Sussex. No one seems to know who the statue was supposed to be, although some people have speculated in might be of Noah. There is a plaque on the base of the statue with an inscription, which reads: "This statue stood formerly on the conduit in South Street and was afterwards for many years in the cathedral vault of Mr William Guy, surgeon, the pupil of John Hunter and the friend of Hayley and Flaxman. it was presented to the Priory Park society by his grandson Dr William Augustus Guy of Kings College London and erected on this spot may 31 1873." Nowadays the general consensus seems to be that it is a statue of an unknown Druidic figure. My personal theory is that it is a statue of Gandalf the Wizard :-))) There is a view of the complete statue in the PiP.

Detail from a very old gravestone in my local cemetery. Sadly she has lost her wings.

Taken during a morning walk last Tuesday. There is another perspective in the PiP if you're interested. Viewing large works best, I think.

Taken in my garden back in August.

Taken in my garden outdoors in natural light using a small folding table and a sheet of card as a background. The egg-shaped vase again, with a handful of Common Reed Grass heads from the Mill Pond at Langstone Harbour. Simple, but effective I think. Best viewed large and hope you like it. Have a lovely day and a splendid weekend everyone.

Taken last Tuesday morning during a walk at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. The "WW" on the sign refers to the Wayfarers Walk, whichis a 71-mile trail in Hampshire. It is a varied walk, passing through many pleasant towns and picturesque villages. Langstone is situated a few miles from the southerly end of the trail.

Taken during a morning walk at low tide yesterday. The old railway sleepers act as sea defences. I think it looks best viewed large, on black. The view in the other direction can be seen in the PiP if you have time to look.

Berthed in the Royal Navy Dockyard Portsmouth, Hampshire. Now a museum ship and open to the public. An interesting history of this beautiful old warship here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warrior_(1860)

These were hanging upside-down to dry in one of the gardener's sheds in West Dean Gardens, West Sussex. The were so pretty, I couldn't resist taking a photo.

A vaguely autumn-themed still life image photographed yesterday. I'm currently in the throes of a stinking cold with a cough.......so I'm staying indoors for day or two. The flower came from a pot in my front garden, the leaves I collected and dried last week (also from the garden). The background was a sheet of card from a craft shop with a subtle texture added in post processing.. The egg-shaped vase I found recently in a charity shop and liked it so much that I bought it especially to use in photos, so you'll probably be seeing it again. Have a splendid weekend y'all.
