THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-10

For the third year in a row, and for the tenth time this year (I skipped the one in October) I am posting Traces of the Past challenge. This month it is a photo challenge in colour and you’ll have a really long deadline since I am going on a holiday next week. The next post on this blog is planned for 30 November and you have time until 29 November. I look forward to seeing your posts on my return. Wishing you all peace and happiness!

Traces of the Past is a recurrent photo challenge that (normally) happens every month (one month in colour as part of Thursday’s Special and the following month in black and white as part of Black & White Sunday). You are free to choose whatever traces of the past you can find. It does not have to be a distant one, or rich in history; it can be something personal, or it can even have a human form.

  23. Your photo of the castle is wonderful. We didn’t get to see the castle, it was closed for filming, so we went to the garden instead, and the weather was so grim I would never have got a photo as lovely as this. You have made me think about castles though and it is time I posted some of the Welsh ones I have visited. I shall try and get something sorted before you return from your holiday. Hope it is fun and hope it is somewhere warm!

  28. […] Just look at that beautiful blue sky, I can’t wait to return to it for our 2018 winter sojoun. My final photograph also has lots of blue but it is a very different shot. It was the first I took that day. An unusual first shot to take I know but I needed it for the following month’s past meets present.  I kept it as I thought it might be a useful historical photograph to keep. All to often the photographs and postcards we retain are the glorious vistas, interesting buildings, family celebrations and brilliant close-ups. However in a hundred years time it will probably be the rare photographs of the average street scene that historians will be hunched over for traces of our past. They are certainly the ones I find most useful for my past meets present challenge. Talking of which I must put my thinking cap on for what I am going to share next month. Do hope you will join me next month or even better why not share traces of your past with Paula this month. […]
