I like this subject - If I can't get a 'fresh' image, I have the perfect one from my archives. Hope I can get out though, cos I love looking for this kind of shot. It's surprising how many natural frames there are, once you get your mind around what to look for and start to look.

We have a monument near us 'Penshaw Monument' and in the woods nearby, theres a perfect shot where, no matter what time of year, you can get a shot of the monument, perfectly framed by some tree branches. I always mean to get a spring, summer, autumn and winter shot of the same view, for a tetaptych. but never get the time, or forget, or the weathers not right when I try.

[Hinfrance]

Glad like the theme. Good luck getting the shot you want.

I hadn't planned on doing the framed by trees and shadow cliché, but it just happened to be right in front of me. This is former home of the music hall star Josephine Baker



The chateau is currently being restored, but has displays of her memorabilia throughout. There is also a falconry centre - I'll post a few shots from there, hopefully tomorrow, but as usual in the summer there are guests to attend to first

One from the archives here on CC. was taken in 2009. Been a bit busy will try to do better.

Just got back from a break on the Dorset Coast, But I did manage to grab this shot which fits the theme, I guess!!

I had a nice one, from the archives, but, it was framed by trees. After H's comment, I decided not to use it.

I had another one, a bit different, from my 'volunteer records' from last Wednesday. In fact just a snapshot, with the focus in the wrong place, so it would not have been my first choice, but ...

I 'tarted it up,' in the hope it would look like an old picture from the Stalinist archives. Not quite sure what to call it, but, I may go with 'Slave Labour.'

One from the archives. The Olympics taking up far too much time!

Statue of Bobby Moore taken through the structure of the new Wembly Stadium.

Im in with one from my archives,I took for a similar theme a while back. My car is off the road for a week or so, so restricted to where I could get to. Hence an archive shot.

A quick hand held grab, in the shadows of evening light.

[Reinardina]

Great variety. Wonderful.

[David Blandford]

a good selection this week       

[Reinardina]

Yes, and a few more votes, but I did hope for more!

[David Blandford]

You tried your best R to get some more votes !         

[jinky]

Well I got my vote in but not my entry which would have been a bog standard shot of Oxford college / cathedral through some trees anyway. never mind - time should free up for me soon.
