Thursday’s Special: Adrenalin (response to guest challenge)
As you could have noticed there have been a few guest hosts on my blog recently. This month I have made an exception and I will make room for three guest challengers instead of the usual two per month (the same will happen in June cause of a very special challenger that will appear at the end of the month). So, here is my response to another photo challenge in colour – themed adrenalin. The host chose a photo of sky for his proposed theme. My photo is featuring a different view of the sky, but I am sure that you can find scenes that are evocative of adrenalin in many places. Go as free and wild as you want. I will be waiting for your responses.
May this Thursday bring you only good feelings!
P.S. After this Sunday there will be a week-long break on this blog due to my travels. This means that the next Thursday’s Special is scheduled for 21 May (see Scheduled Challenges page).

Have you got your own adrenaline pumping doing this, adventurous friend? At the moment mine is pumped by the custodianship of twins! I like the composition of your photo, and all the contrasts of line and colour. Enjoy your break in Portugal.

Usually the calm sea releases endorphins for me but yesterday the wild wind and pounding seas definitely energised me in a rush of adrenalin. I love that you like my photo so much.

And to follow the Red Arrows, you show a different kind of courage, with less speed, but much less control β and the sky as backdrop so wonderfully spacious.

I guess that less control means more adrenalin too. You have a poetic way of commenting. Thank you, Hilary π

My adrenaline would certainly be activated if I was the man in your photo. Loved the music. Feeling alive is what adrenaline does to you that’s for sure.

I can imagine that I’d feel the adrenaline too in a situation like that. I think prefer staying on the ground and getting my adrenaline rush on the bike instead. I’ll see if I have something for this challenge later, I’m at work now and there was nothing suitable in my drafts folder…
