Thursday’s Special: Something Fishy

P.S. The photo looks much better when you click to zoom in (twice).
**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.
This week’s contributions to Thursday’s Special are:
-
Thursday’s Special: Fishy
-
Mathematical Tiling – Does it Add Up?

Please explain it to me. I really like sculpture but I can’t figure out why the transparent whale is passing through the wals of a circle, and I’ve just spent approximately 10 minutes scrutinizing this one.

😀 I don’t know Allan. I’ve been staring at it for a week, but I could not meet the artist to ask him that question. One thing I can say though.. it is fun to be sitting in its belly 😉

Strangly enough I wanted to do the yellow flowers for the One Word Photo Challenge but as I looked at the photo’s and started editing them in Photoshop I kept thinking of you and then I remembered it’s Thursday today and that you have your Thursday’s Special and so I thought I am sure you won’t mind if I include your ‘non-challenge’ Challenge as well as I wanted to include information about this lovely, bright flower and lately I hardly get the chance to take part in many challenges. 😀
I am glad to hear you like yellow flowers and enjoyed the post. Thanks hon. 😀 *hugs*

Dear, dear Colline, I can’t see the videos at work so I will do that at home in about 5 hours :). Thank you for joining me sweetie. I will tell you my impressions later 😀 This fish sculpture was mine to enjoy for a week last summer when we stayed at a posh hotel to which it belongs. I even sat in its belly once 😀 THANK YOU 🙂

No, I behaved myself today 🙂 I got some good news about qualifying for some part-time job translating into French and I put my French chansons playing in my earphones… the outside world ceased to exist :D.

Hey Congratulations! Really happy for you! And lavender is a good choice 😛 Research shows it has calming effects! So, you have scientific backing! 😀 And it is a perfectly good reason to choose a hotel! If they took the effort to put it up…they would make the effort to take care of the guests! 🙂

Exactly.. they let me into one room, but it was noisy and the bed was a bit wobbly, iron and high, so I decided on a whim to trade it for another room and they let me – no extra charge 😀 and as a plus side I had a view of the fish 😀
