Lost in Translation

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: MINIMALISM

Some may argue that it is not the right time of year to tackle this theme with all over the top festivities going on in the eve of forthcoming holidays, but I hope that you will still humour me and show minimalism in photography. If you don’t feel like participating in this challenge, just to remind you that we still have one more Thursday’s Special before the close of the year, next Thursday with the theme: 2016 Retrospective 🙂

    I reckon t’s exactly the time of year for minimalism! Should be more of it. And this, of course, is a beauty.

    Good timing for me! I love that caterpillar just hanging in the air, even though it reminds me of last summer’s invasion of the Gypsy moths. Here’s mine:

      You can’t post photos in my blog, only I can do that, but you can participate in challenges. I will be glad if you do. You make a photo post on the theme of the challenge, and you link it to the challenge. Until Wednesday it is Unfocused theme (photo challenge in colour) and until Saturday you can post for the “On top” theme which is in black and white.

              In your post you link to my challenge post. For example if you are posting for the unfocused theme then you put https://bopaula.wordpress.com/2017/01/12/thursdays-special-unfocused/ in your post. You write for example linked to (and here you put the link to my post).
