Photographs - a search for astrology

After deciding last week to try to avoid using any photographs other than those from our own cameras in my blog posts, I felt doubtful that I'd find anything even vaguely astrological among the pics we've saved over the past few years. Clicking disconsolately through folder after folder of our old photographs didn't inspire confidence that I'll become self-sufficient any time soon, graphics-wise.

One folder of photographs from my husband's long stay in the UK afforded a few possibilities.

In the summer of 2004 we visited an Elizabethan stately home Burton Agnes Hall, - a few miles from where I lived.

Among the photos we took in the beautiful grounds are these which easily relate to
(1) Mercury, (2) Moon, (3) Mars.

It's a start!







This gorgeous astronomical clock is in York Minster, a memorial to the airmen from the north of England who died in World War 2.




From my time in the USA..... here are wheels, which could represent astrological cycles, from a display at an arts fair in Salina, Kansas in 2005. And a sculpture of a goat (Capricorn) made from scrap chrome car parts.








I shall dust down my neglected digital camera and keep an astrological eye open for useful shots from now on. I'll need to be imaginative and resourceful though, likely subjects aren't going to be too obvious!
