Never say neverβ¦ Just a few days ago I swore to a friend of mine that I would never take iphone pics and much less upload them on the Internet, and then Sara came up with a new photo challenge that did not sit well with me: TODAY (or in my interpretation: a licence to post a crappy “spur of the moment” pic).
As I was walking to the local bakery this morning to fetch croissants for breakfast, I noticed another cafe bar had opened in my already busy and noisy neighbourhood, so I took a pic.
There you have it: Today in my neighbourhood.
Please, don’t rate the quality of the photo. I just wanted to show my neighbourhood, tried to use iphone instead of a more decent camera and wanted to prove myself that I can deal with any challenge. That said, I think there have been enough challenges for one day and it is only 11 am.
P.S. Here is some music to make the experience better, do give it a listen (it cost me extra to put my music here ;).
Thanks for giving it a try :). It is annoying that it can’t play on the same page :S. I usually have two tabs opened one for listening to the music and the other one for looking at the pics.
A perfectly good first iPhone photo Paula, I knew you had it in you!! π And that song, so catchy and upbeat, I can see you strolling along listening to it, not a care in the world, a bounce in your step and a smile one your face!
Why, thank you Cardinal π though I must say that particular one was not taken today!!! Hey, is Jeff the only one that is listening to my music here??
I didn’t even notice the little link to the music. I clicked it after you mentioned it, but my computer won’t play it because I don’t have QuickTime installed. If you put it in another format (like mp3) I can listen to it.
Or, you could just upload your song to YouTube and post the YouTube video here. (it doesn’t even have to be a ‘video’, just the song and a photo). That way you don’t have to pay extra to post your songs.
Now you tell me after I have spent 20$ for the privilegies ;). Most of my tracks will come in mp3. This one was an exception. So far I have three “singing” pictures (under Isolation and Versatile Blogger Award). Thank you for trying Cardinal :). I enjoyed your “today” tour.

Thanks Tilly, I try to find beauty in it, but believe me it was hell last night with about 2,000 people going to a concert just in front of my window and making racket till dawn.
Thank you for you nice comment Island Traveler. There are so many disadvantages in my neighbourhood, but I prefer to see the beauty in it and to capture it to take it with me :).
Your wordsl always make me feel good. Thank you.
Brilliant picture π
