Lost in Translation

Hello 🙂

This is the 2nd Pick a Word photo challenge this year. The challenge consists in choosing one or more of the provided five words and to illustrate them in your photos. However, you are not limited to picking one or some; you can do all five. Today is the first day of October and also the mid-Autumn Festival in China. I am not very familiar with it, but it inspired me to choose “lunar” as the first word today.

Here are the words to pick from:

LUNAR (because of mid-Autumn festival )

VOLTE FACE (cause of so many meanings )

SOARING (cause it lends itself to a number of possible photographic interpretations)

REPOSING (cause I really need a rest)

and

IMPREGNABLE (cause it is a cool word )

Lunar

Volte face

Reposing

Impregnable

If you want to know more meanings of VOLTE FACE:

• to change beliefs (suddenly) from something to its complete opposite
• to change the plan entirely
• to change mind in the opposite direction
• to make a 180 degrees turn
• to back away or back out of something that one was resolute about
• to take U-turn or about-turn on a decision
• a total change in opinion and attitude

Last time on Pick a Word there were more than twenty entries. Check them out, if you haven’t already.

Your deadline is by the first Thursday in November, when a new Pick a Word challenge will run.

And finally, Thursday would not be special without some music enclosed:
