Theme: “Lunchtime Shadows, London”
Several responses to yesterday’s challenge: thank you. I hope you found it stimulating. The winner1:
“Sunny grey pavement with red brick paving at corners, utility covers left. Defined human shadow primed for a selfie, next to ‘floating’ shadow of a dog on a lead, one paw visible.” – N.J.
I particularly liked ‘floating’, a quality I hadn’t noticed myself.

From now on, I’m going to supply two images each day. By seeing two things together, you might notice more about both – because to compare and contrast can itself be highly creative.
Choose whichever you prefer. Only do both if you’re crazy-enthusiastic.
Your assignment: Describe either (or both) of these pictures, in approx 30 words (each), to make them “visible” to somebody who can’t see them.
Purpose of the exercise: To practice your observational and verbal skills.
Tip: Give a sense of what is shown, and the “feel” of the picture, but remember that you are only trying to deliver a textual alternative to the picture. See Series 2 Episode 1 for an example.
Mildly competitive: After ATC Series 1, I received the following feedback:
“I realised by Number 4 that I was getting quite competitive, so I had to take a step back and just enjoy the exercise”.
