Black & White Sunday: Tribe (response to Guest Challenge)

Today’s challenger that appeared as a guest on my blog Guilhem asked us to post a photo/several photos that would fit the theme tribe. He was lucky enough to go to South Africa where he spent several days in the mountains of Drakensberg with Sotho tribe.

I did not have such opportunity and no matter how hard I thought of doing an alternative interpretation of tribe which can really be any group of animals, or even things, I found an easy way out by capturing a wall that has now been pulled down in my neighbourhood.

I hope you will join us and find something you can capture that would be related to “tribe” theme. Have a great Sunday!

what a cool wall to find P- I like the triable art – and also every single window seems so unique – still finding details and little things in this wall…

  What a nice and true thing to say – alas it is a lost piece of art that I miss a lot.

Ah, another tribe gone extinct?
Lovely wall Paula (you know I’m a street art fan) and what a shame it has gone. I know street artists have to accept that their work is normally temporary, but it must be sad for them to see their creation pulled down.

  I wish they could be given some permanent wall for these creations. The few walls that we have along the railway station has already been used.

Excellent graffiti and photo. Normally I’d go for colours when graffiti is involved, but I like that it’s in B&W.

It’s a difficult topic, and I was wondering what your photo would be, Paula, because you’re not usually a people shooter. 🙂

Puf- pant! Tribe??? where can I find an image representing such a thing? And than Merriam Webster offered a way out: “a group of people who have the same job or interest”. A show that I saw this weekend:

What was that building Paula? An industrial or residential one?
