OCTOBER RECAP

Here is my gallery for October, somewhat smaller because I was here just half the month.

Like a Diamond

Every now and then you find a diamond right there in nature and you don’t even have to cut it to make it sparkle.  Lago di Braies with a shining backdrop Part of weekly photo challenge shine.  

Black & White Sunday: Composition

For today’s theme – composition – you may decide to show photos where you paid special attention to this important element in photography, where you either respected the conventional rules in photography (such as the rule of thirds) or you chose to broke them to make the image more interesting, or you may take an entirely different approach in your interpretation. The focus does not need…

Thursday’s Special: Seascape

I am well aware that all of you don’t live by the sea (me neither), but if you can’t take a photo of sea for this occasion, maybe you can dig something out from your archives?     If you want to participate in Thursday’s Special challenge, link to this post and leave me links to your entries in the comment section bellow. Yesterday…

Black & White Sunday: From Above

  For today’s challenge in black and white you are supposed to post a photo taken from above. Don’t let the fear of heights and vertigo stop you, you don’t have to climb high. Sometimes all it takes is to look down at your feet. My example is showing a view of 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon taken from the bottom of Cristo…

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past Y2-03

Looking at the romantic skyline of the Renaissance Mantua, a square building with four angular towers draws my eye and takes me on an imaginary tour of a 15th century Lombard duchy when art was a commodity available to the privileged few, but when it ranked fairly high in the general order of things. A hard act to follow in today’s Europe, won’t you…

Thursday’s Special: Glow

The last week’s theme was easy, and this one should not be too difficult either. We all need light and glow in our lives, so today’s theme is glow. A reminder: if you are interested in voting for the last week’s best photo entry, you have an opportunity to do so until next Wednesday i.e. 1st of June. Happy Thursday! P.S. For newbies –…

In Between

  Don’t ask anything. Just take this somewhat surreal image and sedative music as a free meditation session. After midnight a new challenge is on. Peace

Landscape

My mind is elsewhere, somewhere between my unpaid overtime work that I have to finish this weekend, and the pending volunteer work that is more rewarding, and my wish to go out and take photos, but still I had to check out what WP has as a challenge this Friday. When I saw „landscape“ I could not resist. It was a tie between a…

Marching through March i.e. when Winter meets Spring

March, the third month of the year, was named after Mars, the Roman God of war, but also a guardian of agriculture and the ancestor of Roman people being the father of Romulus and Remus. That’s what the Western European tradition says, but in Slavic which is the tradition of my ancestors the story is a bit different, or is it? When I was…
