BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: AFTER AND BEFORE Y1-05

Regular visitors to my blog know that once a month on a Sunday (usually the last one in a month) I post a combined photo challenge theme for Black&White Sunday. It is called AFTER and BEFORE and it invites you to post the same  image both in black and white and in colour. The topic and subject are entirely arbitrary. The only condition is that…

CANON OF THE SPACES

Roberto Cacciapaglia: “I composed “Canone degli Spazi” around essential elements – the harmony of the triads, the melodic repetition and the cycles that follow the orbits of the planets and the structure of harmonics – the very same rules that Pythagoras followed to make the laws of the Universe coincide. Sound can help us realize that the space inside us is as vast as…

TERRESTRIAL TOWERS OR EXTRATERRESTRIAL IMPLANTS

Friable terrain in some parts of the Earth where climate is marked by alternating periods of torrential rain and drought gets increasingly eroded which gives rise to wonderful earth pyramids.    ©Paula Borkovic   I remember showing a photo of this site to someone from work (we usually employ smart people there) and she said that these structures must have been put there by…

MARCH RECAP – 2017

It’s time for my monthly recap. This is what March 2017 looked like:       

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-03

  This month it is time to tackle  Traces of the Past in colour again. My photo shows a panorama of old Mantua (Italy) with the skyline that seems to pertain to some other times. There is no question that the former Duchy of Mantua (Mantova in Italian) still bears many traces of its glorious past.  For this recurrent challenge you are free to…

BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: COUNTRYSIDE

I live in the centre of the city and every trip to the countryside is a treat for me. I don’t do it often, but when I do I never miss the opportunity to photograph what looks like an ideal dwelling. This Sunday you are asked to post a photograph (or several) of a countryside which may, but does not have to, contain buildings…

FEBRUARY RECAP – 2017

It is the last day of February which means it is time for my monthly recap:    and a smaller Black & White gallery:  

FOLLOW MY SHADOW

From the left bank of the Tagus River,  a magnificent, red-painted, steel suspension structure crosses the bay and takes you straight onto shores of Lisbon. All you need to do is follow its shadow.       Weekly photo challenge now appears on Wednesdays, but I will continue to post for it on Fridays. The theme this week is Shadow. Our blogger friend Restless…

JANUARY RECAP

Here is my recap for January 2017.   Reminder: there is a new Thursday’s Special challenge tomorrow with the theme: Pick a word.  

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-01

  Perched on a hilltop with about a dozen towers belonging to the Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, San Gimignano is probably the most picturesque site in the province of Siena.    ©Paula Borkovic This is the first in the series of the Traces of the Past – Y3 (one month the challenge is run in colour, the other in B&W which means that…
