Esther's favorite photos

Another shot of the result of recent long-lasting rainfall. This is bridge 105 the Pack Horse Bridge over the Leicester branch of the Grand Union canal. Behind the camera the River Soar joins the canal to become a canalised river and with all the rain it has overfilled and backed up through here to threaten the bench. HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.

HBM - I'm not sure if this qualifies, as you can't really see the bench that the lady is sitting on. It's still a favourite lucky shot of mine, caught some years ago when I was taking seascape photos in Georgia, USA.

SC188 - Post 18 March - Dutch Artists en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoes_(Vincent_van_Gogh) As a tribute to Vincent van Gogh, I have chosen to take a photo of my well worn gardening shoes. Once upon a time they were shiny and red, but now they are very faded and scruffed, but comfortable. On the left shoe it's possible to see a black paint splash. This latest addition happened just this past week when I was painting some new trellis. The shoes are placed on the quarry tiles in our kitchen.

Do you see some similarity with Broadway Boogie by Mondriaan www.canvasprintsaustralia.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Piet_Mondrian_1942_-_Broadway_Boogie_Woogie-s.jpg ? Van Gogh in this link: www.ipernity.com/doc/305531/53273462/in/group/509429

SC188 - Post 18 March - Dutch Artists Je ne voulais pas faire ce challenge... Ce matin , je me suis décidée. 10mn pour faire les fonds de tiroirs et autant pour quelques prises : je savais que la dernière conviendrait : une nature morte-un clair-obscur, ("à l'arrach' "comme on dit parfois chez moi) Rembrandt : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rembrandt

Sunday challenge 188 "Our next challenge = Dutch artists Vincent van Gogh gave us sunflowers, Rembrandt van Rijn his beautiful portraits, Johannes Vermeer his cityscapes, M.C. Escher his magnificent graphic work, Piet Mondrian his geometric abstract work, Gerrit Rietveld his houses and furniture." I wonder if Dutch artists can inspire you for the next challenge. Using my previous created image, cropped. Just love the style of Mondrian.
