The word for Tuesday 04.05.2010 is MIRROR IMAGE

Today's word is Mirror Image.  I had to go to The Sleep Clinic today, up in town (Central London)to collect a light box and a wrist clock to record my sleep patterns. On the way up on the train, l just couldn't think what l would do for today's word. Then as we got the entrance to St. Thomas's Hospital, we were face to face with this amazing sculpture...my mirror image! Success!! I really am in love with this piece. If you look at it from some angles, you can see through the metal pieces. It is a huge sculture. I couldn't see who the artist is or the title but l will carry on the search!

The word for Monday 03.05.2010 is CONTORT.

Todays word is CONTORT. This word worried me for a while. All l could think of was a dancer, a gymnast or someone from the circus! Not something l was going to see on my walk today l didn't imagine!  Today we decided to go to see a park, we had heard about but had never been. It is Wimbledon Park...great place, tennis courts, bowls green, wonderfully safe and interesting children's play areas and a huge lake with sailing on it. Amazing place, where l saw children doing amazing things on climbing frames ect but l was unable to take images of them for obvious reasons. Anyway, after a gentle walk, Tony and l headed back to the mini and as we reached the gate, l was fasinated by a tree that had some fungi growing at its base.  Being the curious person l am, l wondered if there was another group on the otherside of the trunk. No.... but then l noticed a crack running quite a way up the tree and in the crack was a fungi contoiured inside the trunk. I had my image!

The word for Saturday 01.05.2010 is COMPLICATED.

I seem to be very busy these days and keep forgetting to do this post. I am going to see if l can do it each day for this week..if not l'll stop. Fingers crossed l manage because l actually enjoy creating this blog each day. I find that l do think more about my art and photography since l started this daily word and image blog!
Well back to buisness. Todays word is COMPLICATED.
I think of complicated as meaning confusion, not easy to understand or something involving many parts. The image l have chosen for this word is a pylon. I saw this at Merton Mills and was intrigued with it. It is not often you are able to actually get this close to a pylon, let alone stand underneath it. So l took the oppurtunity to take quite a few images from many angles! I found it quite complicated trying to see which bits were connected to which section. When there is a blue sky next, l intend to go back and take so more images The reason being I want to see what the difference will be, between these images with a grey sky and ones with blue. For instance, with a blue sky will the image be so dramatic?.
