This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you to get your inspiration; From ground level.
I went with the literal interpretation and all my photos are taken from mere inches above the ground.
A reflection of trees in a puddle, an obliging skateboarder doing tricks for me in the town’s pannier market and a couple of low down shots of the old streets around church square make up my vertically-challenged offerings.
How low did you go to achieve your results? Let’s have a look, it’s easy to do…

To get involved with the challenge; check out the Cosmic Photo Prompt each Friday, then post a photo (or photos) on your blog the following Monday, with a pingback link to my Monday post.
Tag your posts with #CosPhoChal.
Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages, animation, gifs, or whatever other post production techniques you fancy are permitted, (in fact, they’re actively encouraged!) so get creative and turn your photos into artworks for the Cosmic Photo Challenge.
The wet cobblestones are my favourite.

I like those ground views a few inches above the surface. It is an interesting perspective.

The black and white street/pavement between the stone walls is the stand out for me. Those heavily cut back trees against the sky give it an atmosphere.
I kept my contribution simple with having lots of nature images to pick from:

Thanks, David. Yes, those pollarded trees make very fine sculptures.

I couldn’t remember the word for pollarding. I know it wasn’t coppicing because that’s ground level.

The skateboarding photos are great action shots, I like the fuzzy blur of the skateboarder. And the alley with the distant figure in red is sublime.
My contribution doubles up with the Square UP challenge. It wasn’t planned that way, I only realised it now while I was loading it up: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/01/25/growing-up-while-climbing-up/
