Thursday’s Special: Diversity
Can you guess what this is?
For this Thursday I chose the theme “diversity”. It does not have to be an abstract like in my photo. Go wild and shoot whatever you like – I bet that “diversity” is fairly easy to find. Still, if you have something different in mind for this Thursday’s Special, you are welcome to publish a post with different theme. Just leave me your links in the comment section. Have a happy Thursday!
P.S. Next Thursday the theme is “Red”. More details on Scheduled Challenges page…

I think they’re drinking straws all bound together in a box or some other container (I was thinking PVC piping but the walls are too thin and I don’t think it’s manufactured in those colours).

Your first hunch was right, Allan. Thank you! 🙂

Bravissima , come sempre!

Love the brightness and vitality of the photo, Paula, as well as mysteriousness! I couldn’ t guess this time – had the feeling of plactis cups put in a pile but wasn’ t sure at all.

You’ve absolutely done it again, Paula. I had no idea what it was, except creative and beautiful, so I had to wait to comment till other people more clever than I identified. Yes I’m someone who needs paintings to have titles, and it shames me. Confession over, I can appreciate. An amazing array of shadow, light, outline, and colour. You really are an artist.

my guess was straws too – but then I thought some type of toy…
and the upbeat tempo of the song matched the colorful, diverse feel of the straw image… 🙂
