Driving to my Mums one morning, the clear blue sky was filled with vapour trails – lots of them…. I suspect there was an airforce ( U.S. and R.A.F. ) practice manoeuvre, as well as the usual commercial flights. I thought it presented a dramatic spectacle, so I took a few photographs. The one you see was probably the best example. At my Mums I was checking the bed sheet on the clothes line and was struck by how the bright sunshine was affecting the folds etc. I liked the coloured clothes pegs – so I added a few more to ‘decorate’ the top ( I sized them differently ) to make the picture more interesting. I added a photo I took of the bottom of the sheet and chopped it up to create a collage effect. The sky was then added at the top. My Mum was in the conservatory reading the newspaper and probably thinking “What’s that idiot doing photographing the clothes line?”. Along two lines of the sheet I have written: Beautiful Sky Whilst The Washing Dries, And My Mother Reads The News. You probably can’t quite read that because it is a low res image.
