On the beam
25 September 2005 (9)

Fovant, Salisbury, UK

After some early rain, it's been a grey and generally miserable morning here; so, imagine my surprise, when I went to empty the bins,
at being caught in a nice, momentary ray of sunshine! Dashed back into the house to get my camera... and the sun went in again. Blast.
However, a few minutes later, caught this one shining on the coat rack by the back door in the conservatory...
(posh, estate-agent-type word for big porch with windows and transparent corrugated plastic roof...)!

I know it's not even noon: but, sometimes -- as I'm rapidly learning... -- you just know (or hope...) you've caught the 'shot of the day'...!
(I think it was the white paint against the texture of the stone that did it for me....)

Love the combination of the two colours and textures and the timid rays of sunshine, but was attracted first by the hanging plastic bag. We use them a lot here too. CN

You make the mundane special with this shot, Stephen.
