For once I wasn’t using my Lumix Dramatic Monochrome setting when I took this photo on Wenlock’s Linden Walk back in early June. But I think the manual colour version-turned black & white has come out quite well despite the deep shadow and lots of zoom.
The next photo was taken on a winter’s day using the monochrome setting. It’s the path that runs from the field behind our house and up onto Wenlock Edge. The horizontal line of tree tops marks the top of the Edge. (I like the strange effect of false horizons). When you stand up there the land falls away from you rather hair-raisingly, dropping almost vertically through ancient hanging woodland. In winter, through the bare trees you can just make out the rooftops of Homer village way below.

This is the footpath to Bradley Farm. It lies on the far side of the town away from the Edge. Also a change in seasons here: this was taken in full sun last August just as the wheat was ripening.
Windmill Hill sunset. I think it’s early autumn because the little ponies that are brought in to graze the hill have not yet been moved to their winter quarters.

I take lots of photos of the hill on Down’s Farm. It’s an interesting shape and the spinney on top gives added character. But with distant views I always like some structure in the foreground too, in this case the Windmill Hill bench. I took the next photo with same idea in mind.
The subject here is the cricket club’s shed on the Linden Field. It stands between the lime tree avenue and a line of Wellingtonia or Giant Sequoias. From this angle I think it looks rather mysterious. A Tardis type portal of some kind. It simply pretends to be the place where Wenlock’s cricketers keep the lawn mower.

All your photo are gorgeous for in the distance. There is no way I can begin to chose a favorite. 😀
That’s very sweet of you, Cee. And thanks for keep challenging us.
Such timeless photos in B&W, Tish. Love those footpaths through the fields. 🙂
Yes, I’ve really come to appreciate field footpaths. I think I took them for granted in my childhood in the country. But they are a great resource, and lots of visitors come specially to ramble around Wenlock.
All delightful, but you can probably guess my favourite 🙂
I was thinking of you when I posted it 🙂
Beautiful. The last two especially.
Cheers, Ark.
A wonderful set of photos Tish. They are quite enticing and mysterious.

Enticing and mysterious – I like that, Alison 🙂
A superb collection, my dear Tish!
Thank you lovely Anna.
These images are beautiful….and have a great deal of abstraction in them, which appeals to me greatly. Wonderful work…Janet:)
It’s very good to know that these appeal to your artist’s eye, Janet, and you’re right in your observation, although I hadn’t consciously realised it till you said it. In a way, it’s the abstraction that most appeals to me.
Your second photo is outstanding!
Thank you, Gilly. I like that one too. It reminds me that I must walk the path in summer, though in winter it is perhaps more dramatic.
The first and second photos are my two favorites. Very evocative … tickling sense memories from long ago and far away.
Thank you, Marilyn.
These all look great in black and white, Tish.

Oh I love these big skies. And the bench; it’s the opening shot for a very black comedy I think. 🙂
Thank you for that notion, Su 🙂
Oh, Tish, you have such a good eye!
That’s very nice of you to say so, Naomi 🙂
A fine set of monochromes Tish
Cheers, Robin.
Really beautiful captures, Tish. Like someone already mentioned, I, too, could not pick a favorite.
So beautiful Tish, thanks for taking us along on this ramble in Wenlock, I feel like I’ve travelled there with you, lovely contrast on these shots too
Glad you could come along too, Athena 🙂
I’m beginning to enjoy viewing B & W photos more. Your selections for the challenge are all wonderful. 😎
Love your choices in B& W – isn’t funny how taking away colour can actually add something to a photo!
It’s a very strange sort of magic, isn’t it, Claudette.
It is – I love colour, but sometimes I do black and white and they just have something else that captures me.
Great images
