Cobbles by Moonlight
A slight reworking of an old pic, uploaded by request for my good friend, Tony Hedger.
When I last had this on, Tony wrote a good story to accompany the shot, and if you have never read any of Tony’s story’s, you don’t know what you are missing.
To see the story Tony wrote for this shot, Click Here.
The picture is of Albert Street in Dawlish, which is the last Cobblestone street in the town.
Shot in colour, and converted to B&W, which gives it more character.
I hope that you like it.
Thanks for looking.

George Swann
I think this is my favourite of all your work Richard, beautifully atmospheric, you can’t beat a dimly lit cobbled street, the figure gives it a sinister mood added to by the dim moon. Great work, old boy!!
Richard Veal replied
Thank you George, for the wonderful comment, and the fave also.
Very much appreciated.
The dimly lit figure is a friend of mine on her way home from a late shift, and I made her turn round and walk the other way so I could get this shot. LOL
She was not very amused. :-))

Well, you have to rely on Zola and Clarke to show you how to play. LOL.
I used to live in Forest Gate in the old ‘days’ and could hear the _Happy Hammers_crowd when in my back garden.
Anyway. Glad you read Tony’s work. He does do a good story.
Have a great Sunday my friend.

EvaBridget
I think this is excellent Richard!
The composition is wonderful – I really like the way that almost everything is “happening” in the bottom left hand quarter, the full moon balancing it out beautifully.
Really, really good.
I will go off and read Tony´s story now…
