Figures in the landscape

 

Back to the gloaming, which has been so elusive this summer, and up Salisbury Crags.

 

 

 

 

Up to join the other dusk-time photographers there, trying to capture the city as the city – a whole spread out, something which can be made to fit on a postcard or print.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suppose this last picture counts towards the challenge of the title. Just that the figures are all unseen, crawling their way through the streets, lurking down closes or muttering something in every pub, some dull and wonderful dialogue with their day.

Thresholds Project take two

 

Today, as I thought of the constant rain and the humidity sleeking the leaves outside, and of my safeness and shelter inside, I started thinking of the Thresholds Project from a while ago. It came to nothing, as D and I were forced to move house suddenly, and a few other things went agley.

I wondered now, if I shouldn’t try a less ambitious version. Maybe print, instead of video? To those who agreed to submit before I flaked out – would you like to submit now? I know I’ve been thinking of what might have been, what you might have chosen to send.

To new writers and poets of differing stripes – would you like to be involved? Check the link for more details.

 

I’d love to throw a real, IRL really real reading, but since most of the writerly people I admire are states-or-Canada-side or elsewhere home and abroad, and I am in Edinburgh, it would not be a satisfying event. It would probably be me in a pub drinking a nice whisky or two, reading your poems/flashes/pieces quietly but enthusiastically to myself.

BUT ANYWAY. Submit to wheresthebread[@]hotmail.com. Ask any questions here in the comments or to that address. And thank you for your patience with me.

Share Your Spaces 3

Two more spaces to explore, belonging to a blogger/writer and a photographer/painter.

This space belongs to: Paul Lamb (of Lucky Rabbit’s Foot)-

I’ve attached a photo of my cleaned up work area — that place I retreat to in order to write. Or attempt to write. Or to surf the internet.
 This space belongs to: Karen (of Draw and Shoot)
I have attached a photograph of my studio space which is in my home. 
The shelves and cupboards are laden with old camera’s, photographs, rocks, nests, art supplies and all kinds of other things I love.
Making it my own is a  work in progress.

I feel like going on a bumper blog posting spree with these images. Thanks to you all again, and stay tuned over the next day or so. Next up:

This space belongs to: Scott (AKA photographer/blogger Seekraz) –

The attached photo is “my” desk at home.  It is where I assemble most of my posts and have the photos on my computer.  If I’m feeling the need to write with pen on paper, I might sit on the couch that can be seen in the photo, or its mate that is directly across from the fireplace.  I also write at my desk in my work place, occasionally, when the writing-spirit is moving me and I fear that I cannot ignore it…and sometimes, too, in my truck, while parked under the rain-dripping trees at my favorite park, or beneath the shady trees on a bench in the same park.

This space belongs to: Linda, author of Animals Behaving Badly –

I came to your post via my internet-friend the Rejectionist’s tweet
and when saw your hedgehog I was inspired to chime in.
This is my workspace, which is not complete without two sleeping pugs.
There’s also a bit of stuffed Panamanian golden frog hanky-panky in
the background there, which all makes sense given what I write about.
