Lost in Translation

Thursday’s Special: Sunset

For my last Thursday’s Special post in 2014 I chose the tune “Veloma” by Fabrizio Paterlini. Veloma in Malagasy means “goodbye”, but this is not really a goodbye; it is just one “see you next year”. The first Thursday’s Special post scheduled for January is on the 8th with the theme “Dusk”. More about themes and scheduled posts on Scheduled Challenges page.

Thursday’s Special may be over for now, but we still have two Black & White Sunday posts this year – see the above mentioned page for schedule. To all those that are checking out early this year I am sending Christmas blessings and best wishes!

 

The last TS entries in this year are:

Debbie’s talking to Santa

Jo’s Festive Sunset

Heart of the Sun by Tish

CG’s early morning sun

Suzanne’s Hot Day Sunset

Drake’s “Sunset Boulevard”

    A stunning photo to end the year, Paula. Delicious colours and lovely composition. Hills and water and silhouette and music. What more could we want?

    May you have a charmed season, however you celebrate. For me, it will be a belated solstice at my daughter’s, with 7 beloved family members (5 missing) and a friend or two on 25th. She’s been trying to get us together-ish at her place for years.

        They were opportune, Paula. The Cenotaph normally doesn’t make much of a shot but with that sky- picture perfect 🙂
        How are you, hon? Are you winning the race? Hand still hurting? I’m preparing to go out on a ‘Monday walk’ (when the other half makes it out of bed 🙂 )

          Hi Jo,

          Thanks for asking.. my hand is not bad when I don’t abuse it. That’s why I need breaks from blog. I have some cases of viral pneumonia in the family so I am a bit in panic.

    What a beautiful sunset photo to finish the year of photography posts with. I hope you have a very happy Christmas and look forward to talking with you in the new year . I have a dreadful feeling I forgot to reply to your email about me doing a guest post early in March. Sorry – I’ve been really busy . I would definitely like to do the post – I think the date you mentioned was March 5. 🙂 Here’s my Thursday special photo – http://artifactsandfictions.com/2014/12/19/hot-day-sunset/
