    World Heritage Site

    I was at Durham University last week and spent the early morning of my visit walking around the old part of the city. Durham is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and indeed it has a magnificent Norman cathedral wonderfully located next to the equally old castle on the easily defended peninsula around which the River Wear flows. Surrounded by such massively well known and constantly photographed buildings, I took a rather different view and photographed a very narrow passageway leading upwards from Silver St. for my picture above.

    Swimming in Satin by ~ladymorganaThe real Morgana’s Cat! Yesterday my artist friend and I were at Morgana’s studio in Colchester for a photoshoot. As always a fun and productive day out with the lovely and super-talented (photography, MUA, post-production) Morgana and we have some really successful pictures for further editing. I was delighted to meet again the real cat that owns Morgana and here is a lovely picture of her as a kitten on Morgana’s black satin sheets. Onyx is a little larger these days and has the most fabulous yellow eyes and is pure black apart from a little splash of white on her front. She checked us out and vanished as quietly as she arrived.

    Reeds in winter on a Scottish loch. I loved the reflections and the metallic look of the water under the prevailing light (sun plus lots of grey clouds). Nikon D70 with Tokina 100 mm macro lens, processed in Photoshop

    threnodyinvelvet: Another picture from Royal Black Couture Threnody In Velvet Happy New Year! What better way to start than with a lovely corset worn by the Queen of corsets herself, Morgana. I suggest that you also go and look at the absolutely amazing one that she has just had made for her by Royal Black Couture!
