dalecooper57 may or may not necessarily be my real name, although I couldn't swear to it. An aging hippy living in Devon, I do all this stuff (and I do mean everything - blog, animation, music, photography, the lot) on my lovely smartphone because I started like that, and now I'm too stubborn to get a computer. I don't have a theme, because I don't see why I'd want to talk about the same thing all the time, so why only write about one thing? So if you like eclecticism, humour, nonsense, opinionated ranting, and occasionally educational stuff, you've come to the right place. Any and all feedback is welcome, both positive and negative, on the content, style and overall look of the blog. You keep following me, I'll keep telling you stuff, ok? Cheers, dalecooper57

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Hello and welcome to another bank holiday edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, with this week’s inspiration provided by K’lee’s prompt; For the love of…

I suppose I could have picked many things which go with that theme, but since Audrey and I have been spending a lot of time on our bikes recently, touring the countryside around Barnstaple, I thought I’d go with For the love of Devon.

It’s such a beautiful part of the country, here in the balmy Southwest, warmed by the Gulf Stream and criss-crossed with cycle routes like the Tarka Trail. Here are just a few of the shots taken on our journeys over the last couple of weeks.

You can see what K’lee is loved up about HERE and it’s a real treat.

Now you can show us some of your affectionate imagery.

To get involved with the challenge, post a photo to your blog on Monday, add a pingback to this post (or to K’lee’s) and don’t forget to tag your post #CosPhoChal.

Alternatively, add a link to your blog in the comments of either mine or K’lee’s post and we’ll come and check out your entry.

Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages 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.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

After I set the theme for this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, I was sure I’d be able to find many examples to fit the prompt; Unnatural patterns, but I ended up submitting just one image for your consideration.

I took the original photo at work, it’s of the pattern made by aluminium dust from the CNC machine, where it’s fallen through holes in a rubber safety mat.

I made a collage with this image and created an abstract artwork which I rather like.

See what K’lee has up his sleeve HERE later.

But now you can show what you found for us.

Cosmic Photo prompt.

My turn to inspire you for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge today, with a prompt which gives your imagination and creative powers of observation plenty of scope; Unnatural patterns.

We have done patterns in nature before, but this week I’d like you to find us some that are completely man-made and artificial.

Return with your aesthetically synthesized offerings on Monday and we shall compare notes.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is a bitter-sweet affair, dealing as is does with the theme of; Rebirth and remembrance.

K’lee set the prompt and when I saw what it was, it occurred to me that there were two things on my mind this Easter weekend; how fortunate I was to have such glorious weather to enjoy the beautiful Devon countryside with Audrey and; how much I miss my friend, Chris, who passed away almost exactly four years ago.

So I decided to go for some more shots of nature coming back to life, along with a few re-photographed, old 35mm photos of Chris from our misspent youth. (If you’ve not read it before, please check out the link above and join me in remembering a very special friend)

See what delights K’lee has to show you HERE.

And now you can share your own contributions, it’s easy when you know how…

As always, run with it however you want and we’ll compare notes on Monday.
