I am frequently struck by the shapes of silhouettes, or the shape of things against a fairly bright sky, as shown in these examples:

Nice work, Sue. (Is that Tyne Cot Cemetery by any chance?)
Best wishes, Pete.
It is Tyne Cot, Pete
Thought so. I was very moved when I visited there.
Best wishes, Pete.
The thing that hit me most was not the name ad graves, but the sheer number of huge plaques with the names of those whose bodies were never recovered…
I am rather fond of a silhouette too, but in this instance I am attracted most to the second image with those marvellous columns framing the little building at the end. Are those gravestones Sue?
They are gravestones, Jude – this is a section of Tyne Cot cemetery, the largest Commonwealth War Grave commission cemetery, resting place of thousands of men who fell at Paschendael. It is probably the most sobering place I have ever visited. More here: https://www.cwgc.org/find/find-cemeteries-and-memorials/53300/tyne-cot-cemetery
I can imagine it to be fairly disquieting.
That’s an understatement….
I agree with seeing and shooting shapes and shadows…back after a long time away – trying to catch up with everything.
Thanks, Robert, hope you catch up soon!
The third is my favourite, intriguing, tell me more . . .
The remains of the West Pier at Brighhton about 3 years ago….probably even less of it now … Here’s what it looked like over 35 years ago: https://suejudd.com/2015/01/26/brighton-west-pier-30-years-ago/
Marvelous, I find all of them intriguing.
I wasn’t sure what to come up with for this prompt, but I think these worked, Paula! Glad you like them
Oh, yes, they worked splendidly.
Great!
All intriguing in very different ways. I thought I recognised West Pier. Very striking from that angle.
Thank you, Tish 😊
Love a bit of variety, Sue. 🙂 🙂 I was about to check out when your comment popped up. On cat feeding duties. Mission accomplished for now. Sending hugs!
Oh, I’m all for variety! Have some hugs from me! I’m having a quiet day in tomorrow, as storm Brian is sending 40 mile per hour winds our way…
That’s a bit naughty of it. Hope it dies out for Sunday evening when James et al are flying over here. The weather has been a glorious concoction of all kinds here. I’m perched beside my kitchen sink now as the Wifi doesn’t reach as far as the living room. Not terribly comfortable so I’ll not stop long. 🙂 🙂
Sunday is supposed to be much quieter… I heard there are fires in Portugal, but a long way from you, I believe
Yes, a long way north, but awful, Sue.
Absolutely…dreadful
Wonderful photography 😄
Thanks!
