Thursday’s Special:Traces of the Past Y2-07

Quite often when I travel I take an unconventional approach. It is not about learning about buildings and places that I visit, or knowing all the dates and names; it is about stepping into the past, and if I am lucky enough to have only the company of my choice with me, it is like a time travel  in which I write my own script.

This is another Thursday’s Special photo challenge with the recurrent theme – Traces of the Past for which you are invited to showcase any example of  past relic be it from the recent or distant past, a place or a thing, or something else. There are no limits really. Just remember to:

  • make a post on this theme before next Thursday

  • link to this post and tag it #thursdaysspecial

  • leave me your links in the comment section bellow

  • grab the challenge widget (my Jupiter photo bellow) – optional

  • I will not pay visit to those bloggers that just leave their pingbacks without commenting here.

Please, check out the entries for the challenge. Who knows you might discover your next favourite destination:) Thank you all for participating:

      Much appreciated, Debbie. I am very glad that the thought resonated with you. Hubby and I decided to visit “uglier” places just to avoid tourists, though this one can hardly be classified as ugly in any way. 🙂

        No, it’s not at all ugly and you have captured the beauty of the place, Paula. The reflection adds to the beauty as does your words.

    Thank you Paula for this challenge. While a bridge can be remembered as a historical place it can also be a reminder of the earth’s sensitivity to human actions and its ability to heal, if allowed.

    All those lovely lines: in the sky; in the building; in the waterway; and to top it all off a perfect reflection. I like the way you describe entering imaginatively into the place where you are. It’s a bit scary to do so here – and probably in many places. My own script is far more benign than historical reality.
