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…

Live musically

  Harmony is just another word for happiness.  -P.B. “In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically.” – Vincent Van Gogh       Prompted by weekly photo challenge: Harmony and related to Jo’s Monday Walk.

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past Y2-01

Every time I take a trip no matter how far or close to my home it takes me, I look for traces of the past. When I pick a destination on the Google map, I am not usually searching for the newest wonder of modern architecture, or high-end hotels and restaurants, but places with charm, indicative of what living used to be. You will…

Symphony of Seasons

Where Summer turns into Fall And conical mountains above Receive the first snow That’s where I call home           This is my entry to weekly photo challenge Seasons.

Black & White Sunday: What will make you happy? (response to Guest challenge)

My friend Debbie asked me what would make me happy, so here is the answer:     Discovering new lands in the company of the loved one would do it, and I hope that this summer my knees will allow me to do that again.   (give music a few seconds to start)   This is my response to the Guest Photo Challenge hosted by Debbie…

Black & White Sunday: Leading Lines

Leading lines are lines within an image that lead the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image. Anything with a definite line can be a leading line. Fences, bridges, even a shoreline can lead the eye. I look forward to seeing your contributions to this Black & White Sunday challenge. Anything in monochrome is acceptable, even with selective…

Black & White Sunday: Summertime

When we think of summer, we think of it in colours, mostly blue and green, and all those bright and lively colours that can be seen on funny clothes, bathing suits and sun umbrellas, but what does summer look like when it is stripped of colour?  Join the challenge and find out….   Beach   Beach moving   Floating together   Catching Willy  …

Thursday’s Special: Flare

An unwanted element in photography brought on, among other things, by shooting directly at sun without using a lens hood, or a creative element that adds to the composition of a photo? Whatever your views on flare in photography, I hope you’ll join me in this challenge and maybe think about alternative approaches to the theme. Some of the following definitions of flare might help you…
