Weekly Photo Challenge: A Fleeting Moment

A fleeting moment…. The challenger for this week mentioned something about street photography, but I prefer to find myself on a ferryboat with a wind in my hair and snapping pics of a fleeting sunset leaving one island to land on the next one.

Just for you for this challenge, a sunset over Malta archipelago, one of the images that tells me I have to go back some day.

    You are very welcome. I know all too well how fleeting sunrise / sunset light can be. I’ve had the light come and go in less than ten minutes, often much less. You captured it like a pro! 😀 😀

  Why thank you Frizz 🙂 That one was taken on Lake Orta in Italy (close to Maggiore) and I had to use hubby’s EOS and a tripod 🙂 If you want to see more of it, it is under “Flirting with life post ;). And I guess the photo in this particular post did not impress you enough to say anything, or maybe it has left you speechless :D. Well, be as it is, there is also music attached to my photos than only some of you listen to.. Good thing is that I keep this blog primarily for my own enjoyment 😉

Hi Paula. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. It is nice to ‘meet’ you 😊. You actually beat me to it regarding visiting yur blog. We I wrote mine last night I used the awordpress related links to list some of the other bloggers who had also entered the weekly challenge. What I the try to do, albeit slowly, is visit all those I have ping backed as a matte roof courtesy. It is a great way of finding new blogs . Yours looks full,of Interest and one I will definitely return to.

I have also seen many people just doing pingbacks for weeks without any other attempt to showup… I will be off for 10 days as of this Friday owing to my holidays, but I will be coming back to give your page due attention. Thank you Ronnie.
