PHOTO OF THE MONTH<br />
HINT OF CASTLE<br />
‘This photo was taken at 8am in early February, after we had snow,’ writes Emma Chaplin, our former<br />
editor, whose photo we liked so much we decided to disobey our unwritten rule about not using images<br />
from regular <strong>Viva</strong> contributors in this space. There was good reason she was out and about so<br />
early: ‘I think I have the most beautiful walk to work in the world. From the Pells to the Hive on the<br />
High Street, usually up Castle Banks and past the Tilting Ground.’ That certainly beats commuting.<br />
‘Inspired by the wonderful Peter Messer,’ she continues. ‘I observe my surroundings closely. I'm<br />
always looking for something different to photograph, either buds on the trees, new flowers growing<br />
in the beds, or interesting ways to frame a similar, and familiar, view. So I took this shot with my<br />
phone through the gap in the flint wall by Castle Precincts. I like the snow on the wall and the leaves<br />
beyond, with just a hint of castle.’ Knowing that we like to check out the tech in this slot, she tells us,<br />
too, what she took it on: ‘my Moto G5 Plus’.<br />
Please send your pictures, taken in and around <strong>Lewes</strong>, to photos@vivamagazines.com, with comments on<br />
why and where you took them, and your phone number. We’ll choose our favourite for this page, which<br />
wins the photographer £20, to be picked up from our office after publication. Unless previously arranged,<br />
we reserve the right to use all pictures in future issues of <strong>Viva</strong> magazines or online.<br />
