Beetle hunt - # 39/10


Another of my moody Ham House offerings - (a bit "same-ish" and in a rut?). The lavae of a carpet beetle (they eat valuable old carpets) have been found unexpectedly in an unusual place. (The hunt constantly goes on in the background).  A thorough clean-up must be started immediately.  I'm lucky because I get called in to take photos of the event.

I chose this because I liked all the shapes, curves and angles; the soft and the hard; the light and shadow.  It makes a mundane clean-up into an event that engages the sentiments.

  2. If you're back to Ham House, things must be better now; here, on the contrary, my back pain is back... ;))

  3. I agree, if you're lurking around Ham House with that big ole camera, you must be on the mend. I love this shot and the warm tones are so nice. Great one!

  4. 'In a rut' borders on the definitional, Chuckeroon!

  5. rut = RuT = Richmond Upon Thames

    therefore, definitional ...

  6. Je comprends que tu aimes cette photo. Cette blonde personne qui s'agite au milieu de tous ces ustensiles, échaffaudages et échelles en agitant les bras semble tout à fait charmante tout en ressemblant à une mite perdue dans les poils du tapis cependant. Une athmosphère étrange hors du temps et hors d'échelle...
