Thursday’s Special: Closer to Heaven

 

jasna_lake

**About Thursday’s Special: It is a ‘non-challenge’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. I invite everybody interested to join in. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions (no red tape whatsoever). The only thing required is to post a photo post on Thursdays entitled “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), to provide a link to my Thursday’s Special post, and to leave a link to your post in the comments section of my post. If you like Thursday’s Special widget, feel free to grab it and post it on your blog.

    Almost surreal, Paula. The song title had me immediately singing Diana Ross, but I like your soundtrack too. 🙂

    I could stare at this all day! I like how you used the little grassy area in the foreground to bring your eye into the scene, and then it just keeps going and going.

        Not properly equipped, seriously? If this is the result of “not properly equipped,” then I’m not sure I can handle how good an “equipped” photo might be!

    Paula – your photo of loser to heaven is remarkable! Such technicolor colors, and serene setting, I feel drawn into your photo.

    Here’s one from me, a different take on heavenly skies.
