Viva Lewes Issue #151 April 2019

PHOTO OF THE MONTH
LOOKING BACK
Rebecca King sent in this lovely photo of the bench down by the Ouse just outside Lewes, towards
Offham. We loved the colours, and composition.
‘The photo was taken at the end of January’, she told us. ‘It was when we had the beautiful haw
frost. As soon as I looked out my window and saw it, I knew I must go out with my camera. The
light was a soft blue-grey and the textures from the frost were so interesting.
‘I went for a walk along the river bank, by the Pells to Hamsey (I didn’t go that far, it was too cold).
Whenever I’m out taking photographs of landscapes or in nature, I always make sure that I turn
around along the way to see what photographs I could be leaving behind. I did the same this time:
when I saw the bench, I thought it told a story.’
Please send your pictures, taken in and around Lewes, to photos@vivamagazines.com, or tweet
@VivaLewes. We’ll choose one, which wins the photographer £20, to be picked up from our office
after publication. Unless previously arranged, we reserve the right to use all pictures in future issues
of Viva magazines or online.
