Conversely Mick, that photo, with a few small adjustments, could end quite artistic :)

After just a few minutes of playing with it - there, much happier and easier on the eye :)

It might be arty farty and all that but it doesn't show that the cars are all boring tones which was the point of the exercise!! :-D

Under the wonky chestnut tree.

Are you suggesting the tree is suffering from lack of Water or have you had strong winds Steve? :-D

Person taking the photo wasn't holding the camera vertical.
In my defence, I couldn't see a damned thing on the phone screen so it is pure luck there is a photo of anything.

It was quite impressive at the time.

I'm afraid the craze of taking pictures in portrait mode producing thin pics and, for me, unwatchable 'short' videos in portrait mode is yet another thing I dislike about modern times!! :-D

Agree completely but in the case of the wonky conker tree portrait mode was the only viable option.

Universal portrait mode is one of the curses to be laid at the door of the mobile phone.

2¼sq obviated that of course.

Good to see you keep your bike in the lounge, I have mine in the kitchen, not being one of those who would put it in the garage. It is also a Giant but the hybrid Fast Road AR3, bought last year in a sale.

It's the only place I really can Paul as my garage is full of car and tools and my kitchen is too small... Plus, I love that bike - we've been through many adventures together and it deserves to live in comfort when not being ridden. Bikes become very much part of you and very personal, which is why theft is so distressing.

Giant make good bikes. I've had loads over the years and still have two more sashed away in the attic :)

Your FastRoad is a top choice :cool:

Having posted the latest pictures of our foxes here, I realised the state the roof boards had got into so I spent this morning bringing them up to scratch!! :-D
