This is probably the last photo I will post on the Saltaire Festival this year. There is a direct connection between the photograph of a dragonfly and the Saltaire Festival. I saw this dragonfy in the sitting room of an artist who lives in Saltaire and he had opened his house to the public as part of the 2009 Saltaire Arts Trail.
The Saltaire Arts Trail is interesting because artists based in the village of Saltaire open their homes to the public and display on the walls paintings, prints, photographs, textiles, ceramics and sculpture. So visitors can see fine works of art and get to look around other peoples houses.
I had never been in the house where I spotted the dragonfly before but I already knew the owner to say hello to because he is a good friend of a good friend of mine who also lives and works in the village. I took some photos of rooms and his art thinking I might put them on here but then I thought this is someones home, so I will let him see them first.
Autumn is now here in England so I guess this could well be the only dragonfly I have caught with my camera this year.

Wow, this is quite unique.
ReplyDeleteYou also have many nice shots from the festival. My husband "is made in England", so we are over to his country a few times every year. Leeds I have never been to, but I have been to several other places on the Yorkshire coast. There are so many nice places!:-)
Very pretty!
