Once every two years we go to a local ceramics fair, held in the middle of the Cumbrian countryside. The majority of items are pricey ‘artisan’ pottery. We usually admire them and move on, but occasionally we’ve been deeply impressed by a piece and made a purchase.
The other day, we were cleaning and partly rearranging the living room. My wife suggested we relocate two of our favourite pieces onto one of the windowsills that face the garden.
We decided to give it ago… then sleep on it; seeing how we felt in the morning. The following day, we were delighted to find bright sunlight streaming through the blinds with such energy that it patterned the ceramics and their surroundings with shadow-stripes…
A quick snap with the iPhone later, I had the above photo…
You can’t always capture the moment; but, here, the camera did its job well. Let’s hope the summer lives up to this bright promise.
