CS #716 - 'Scapes!

[warth man]

Starting from midnight tonight, wherever you are, and for the following week the next CS subject is 'Scapes. Any kind of 'scape, be it landscape, seascape, cityscape, nightscape, even a bathyscape / scaphe if you happen to have one lying around. Or perhaps any form of e - scape. The choice is yours and we are to follow the usual rules: submissions are to be photographs taken over the next seven days and nights; maximum three pics per post, but there is nothing to stop you making more than one post; all to be "safe"; and the golden rule - have fun doing it. I'm sure samples are not really needed but I put some up just to act as pictorial starters:

I know that most of us are restricted these days but hope we can get at least some fresh views of the wider world out there. I look forward to seeing what we can come up with.

Good idea. This topic will inspire me to go to some places I was planning to get back to once the weather cools, and we have had low temperatures in the 30s and 40s F since Saturday. So that criterion has been met...no excuses now.

Nice theme and great examples. I'm hoping I can squeeze in some time to shoot. Been very busy, wrapping things up at work.

 

[Walter Rowe]

Great theme!

 

[Terri French]

I’m in Grand Teton NP. Perfect theme for me.

These three images are w/in a 1 mile walk of my house. Yesterday I captured them and was planning to post one. I couldn't decide which one so here are all three:
1. Looking from Bloomington towards Saint George.

Thanks Terri, so do you.

 

[Mike Buckley]

Very cool, Gordon, that in your second landscape the biker is also escaping.

Nice trio, Gordon. I like #2 for the layers, and 3 for the stone construction.

Thanks Nick. Right across the street from the Blake House is an old pioneer house that has now fallen into such a state of disrepair as to make it no longer picture worthy. I have used that house many times for some of my paid gigs.

Love the interpretation Nick. However, the lighting makes the dough look a bit green...not sure it that was intentional, but doesn't look real appetizing...

Yeah, the counters are vintage puke-green composite.

I replaced the original with a slightly corrected version.

It will bake tomorrow. Stand by . . .

Nice, Gordon. That's a fair old escarpment and scree slope. Thanks for being first off the mark!

We now need "Breadscape". Wish I was over there to taste it. Bread is my ruin. Or rather, my diet's ruin.

PS Why does this remind me of the recent photograph on the café of an alligator and "what lurks beneath?"

Ashamed to say that I got nowhere today. Rain outside and one granddaughter has just arrived at her wonderful (!) teen years, so we were engaged in an awkwardly social distancing birthday event. Sorry folks but I'll try harder tomorrow.

Same here... crazy day at work... I guess they are trying to squeeze the last bit of work out of me...
