New Book Covers - Sweden and Croatia

Yesterday was a happy, very happy day in my life as I was notified by Trevillion Images about three new book covers, all very special to me.




I took this photo in my dining room back in 2014. It is virtually completely an "as found" image with hardly any arrangement of the objects. What did take some time to achieve was finding a good angle of shooting. The fact that a photo of a scene from my home has been bought for a book cover makes my feel overjoyed. Needless to say, I am so grateful to the art buyer for this Swedish book cover. The book, "There is Always Forgiveness" in translation , is a general fiction novel by an acclaimed Swedish author, and is the fourth book in a hit series. A separate license has been bought for an audio version of the book, too.


There could not have possibly been better news for me on the book cover sales front than my best selling image having sold in Croatia too! This image of mine was used for the original German edition of the "Die Betrogene" ("The Deceived") crime book, and they have stuck with the same image for a Croatian edition too. It is my first Croatian book cover and, being Croatian myself, one that naturally means very much to me. I am so proud to just look at this cover with its title written in my native language. I can't wait for a copy of this edition to adorn my book case.

    How wonderful for you Vesna. I love the images. How funny there is a sort of Bronte link in the crime book...with the name Charlotte.
    Can I ask where you share these images for them to be chosen?

    Hi Jacquie, thank you for the comment. Yes, I was thinking the same about the author's name being Charlotte.
    These images were chosen on Trevillion Images (online photo agency) website. On the right hand side of this blog, under the heading "My Other Sites" there is a link to all my images I have with Trevillion. From here you can also have a look around their website. xx

The Villages of Laycock and Goose Eye, West Yorkshire

Image
Two miles west of town of Keighley, on the border with Brontë Country lie two old, small and peaceful villages: Laycock and Goose Eye. I love exploring and photographing picturesque villages and was very pleased to discover these two which are only a slight detour on my way to Haworth. Wandering around Laycock, I was immediately drawn to the sense of slow pace of life and living in harmony with countryside and nature. The villagers were friendly and took the time to chat to us: there was an owner of a beautiful and unusual, very old house doing some work outside, and further up a group of ladies came out of another house after getting together for a morning coffee. There were some gorgeous gardens teeming with colourful summer blooms and attractive tables with chairs thoughtfully placed to enjoy soothing, far reaching views. We passed through Goose Eye on our way out of Laycock, but I came back to take photos a few days later. Goose

Gawthorpe Hall and Charlotte Bronte

Image
As a big Bronte Sisters fan I am on a mission to gradually visit and photograph all the places of connection with the sisters, both with their life and their work. Living in West Yorkshire where the sisters lived and wrote, I consider myself very lucky to be in a position to do so. It also makes for a special pleasure of marrying two loves of mine - the one for photography and the one for the great literary sisters. The weekend of 8th and 9th October was reserved for a trip to Gawthorpe Hall in Lancashire. The Kay-Shuttleworth family who lived at the Hall in the 19th century came to hear about Charlotte Bronte, who was becoming a well known author, and invited her to stay, which she did on a couple of occasions. Gawthorpe Hall is a beautiful, early 17th century Elizabethan mansion, and is the last stop on the Bronte Way - a 43 mile long footpath that starts at Oakwell Hall near Birstall. Charlotte described Gawthorpe as "grey, stately and picturesque, a model of old Englis

Ponden Hall to Ponden Kirk, Bronte Country

Image
The other weekend I returned to the wonderful Ponden Hall , my favourite place to stay in the Bronte Country. This time my intention was to explore the dramatic countryside around Ponden and locations linked to Emily Bronte's novel "Wuthering Heights". I was particularly keen on seeing Ponden Kirk, a large rock high up on Stanbury Moor, the place Emily chose for Cathy and Heathcliff to meet in the novel. It was a mainly cloudy, but dry day with the sun only very occasionally trying to break through the rather thick clouds. After a hearty English breakfast cooked by lovely Julie, the landlady at Ponden Hall, I set off by myself on the long planned 4.5 mile walk. I felt pure excitement and just a little bit of trepidation at the prospect of being alone on the top of wild and windswept moorland area as yet unknown to me. I headed north-west of Ponden, along a rural track flanked with one or two farms. The sun was trying to push through some menacing clouds creati
