PHOTOSTORY FRIDAY - SKYLINE

-

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

I was fiddling with my mobile phone and exploring the options I didn't know I had, 
when I noticed a panorama mode,  so I played some more...
the first  was of the extended view of the Castle opposite my work. 
I have posted a view of the Castle from the museum before, 
but never quite like this...



... and this is the view from behind the picture above.
On driving home, well l know it appears lazy and unecofriendly but it was pouring today!!
Anyway this is the skyline view in panorama mode!


from left The Cathedral then the Castle and then Dixons Chimney
 (which is l believe the tallest mill chimney still standing in Europe, can that be right?)

this is normal mode and you can just make out the green of the cricket ground through the trees,

Not bad for a mobile phone eh?

    Lovely photos. I am afraid my phone does not have panorama mode or any other mode for that matter. It just takes phone calls and even that is a bit hit and miss!!

    I wonder if we have the same type of phone? Mine does the same thing and I love to layer photos of people with the panorama mode. So fun to play with.

    Great pictures!

    I don't take pictures, I tend to break cameras....and as Americans don't usually have castles across form their work place, I am so jealous! Even though we didn't live terrible far (a few miles)from Windsor Castle, I couldn't see it from the upstairs window, more's the pity! Lovely photo...lucky girl!

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
