Wonderful seascape Ellie... there in honey on the water... a single bird in flies into the scene... are the stones sculptures of just to lean up against to admire the scene....petersmile
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thank you Peter! I saw it and that song just popped into my head. They are functional sculptures - they can be sat upon - kinda cool, eh?!

Those dragon eggs look about to hatch, Elizabeth, which should be great fun.

Love the honeyed lake.
Elizabeth Buckalew: Yah! And I'll miss it! smile Thanks Ray!

Beautiful, the bird adds to the feeling of peace and freedom
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thank you Zed! The bird was a happy accident - too bad he's so far away, but I agree with you!

Very good Elizabeth, I like the simplicity of this image allowing us to focus on the few powerful elements. The sea appears as a vast continuous expanse, the rails also continuing beyond and the shapes of the two objects are very pleasing.
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thank you so much Chad, for your very thoughtful comment. I liked this because it felt very "Zen", to me. Just what we need on a Monday! smile
excellent capture. i like the straight lines and the stillness here, feels like some other place really
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thank you very much Ayush... it does feel quite different... it was so cold and windy that no one else but Frank and I dare be out there! smile
This is a Blackpoolian attempt at public Sculpture ... Hmmmm

I'm so pleased that you showed us this Eliza ... I'm going back to bed.
Elizabeth Buckalew: Dinosaur eggs?! smile Well at least go have a little meditation, Rico!

This is a very peaceful shot Elizabeth. I see you have added a bird too
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thanks Chris- I'm glad you think so... was what I was goin' for! Well yes, I do have birds at my beck and call! smile

Now you've really got me wondering, Elizabeth! And if only you and Frank could be sitting on them to give us scale! smile
Elizabeth Buckalew: smile That wouldn't have been nearly as peaceful! I would say 5-6 normal sized adults could sit around the edges... does that help?

Wonderful abstract, great play of shapes. That bird has the best seat in the house. Love the sun on the water.
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thank you Astrid! Birds usually do, don't they... ah to be able to fly above the fray!
This must be the day you said you and Frank were getting up early , so this must of been taken about 3 pm them.
Elizabeth Buckalew: The only day we got up early was the day we met up with you! The lack of humanoids can be explained by the gale force winds and bitter cold smile

a wonderful composition -and I like the sandy colours!
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thanks Philine - it was all very "smooth" looking, I thought!
cool to an aseptic degree...
Elizabeth Buckalew: Soooo... that's a good thing? smile

Mystery pods from another planet be careful.
Elizabeth Buckalew: Fortunately they didn't hatch while I was there. If Frank suddenly disappears, we may have a clue as to why!
Looks like a couple of good eggs or nice places to sit and gaze apon the water.
Elizabeth Buckalew: smile I'll choose the latter! Thanks Mary!
ça me fait vraiment penser à des galets géants
Elizabeth Buckalew: smile The circle of life?!
I love the simplicity of this Elizabeth, so different from what is behind it,you did good kid! smile
Elizabeth Buckalew: Thank you Frank - I'm really glad you do - wasn't sure how it'd turn out. I was hoping to catch some of the peacefulness that surely must come when the winds calm down... of course, then all the people would come out of hiding and clutter up the image! smile

An excellent artsy picture of ovals, lines and backlight. I really like how you are interpreting your visit.

So the Blackpooleans decided to honour the rugby ball on their seafront. Strange decision.
Elizabeth Buckalew: Why, thank you Louis! I'm so happy you're enjoying this series. Is that what a rugby ball looks like? I thought they were dinosaur eggs! smile
A perfect combination of shapes and lines
Elizabeth Buckalew: I'm glad I could capture it, Martin!

From the sublime delights of the Lakes to the Gor Blimey delights of Blackpool. You're seeing a lot of life, Elizabeth smile
Elizabeth Buckalew: smile As I've said, I had an excellent guide!
I wondered if Frank took you to Blackpool, somewhere I've never been, should have turned off the motorway last week and called in. Anyway this is a really peaceful image Elizabeth, to be picky, a shame about that little thingy in the bottom left corner, out with the Clone Tool I think.
Elizabeth Buckalew: Oh yes, Frank lives in Blackpool, so it's just a hop, skip and a jump to the beach! Thank you Brian - you're probably right about the thingy in the bottom left. I don't really know how to use the cloning tool (!), but perhaps I should have just cropped it out.
There must be big seagulls in Blackpool! Fine bit of composition!
Good picture Elizabeth. Could make an interesting mono too
