20111021 - Too Late

I've got a loose tile thingy on my roof - not a tile, but a bit that goes between the roof and the top of the wall. The wind's been slowly edging it out for ages and now it's starting to rattle in the wind.
Fortunately a blokey with a ladder's going to come and tap it back in and re-point it next week. Good job really 'cos I haven't got a ladder - and if I did, I don't much like going up 'em!

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

a sad mood for a sad process - so much sweat went into it and now 99% of what is built is trash

That's quite a gothic composition...spooky enough for me!

Never mind the tile thingy! What about this shot?! Fantastic!

Lovely moody shot - one advantage of winter is the beautiful naked trees.

Beautiful work, very well framing and composed, sky loks very dramatic.

Well we don't want this to happen!
What a magnificent tree, it's seen the beginning and end of that barn, probably.

An awesome eerie image. Love it. I don't like climbing ladders either. V

Is this what you imagine happening to your house if you don't do something soon!! I like the toning and the composition!
Bob B.21-Oct-2011 23:33
Wonderful image Phillip!

I think you might need more than a bloke with a ladder if this is your roof :0)
very clever picture tonight, not sure what is best - the tree, the sky or the tumbled down cottage. Great!
