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…

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…

Inspiration

Recently I wrote a post about inspiration, and here it comes as an official WordPress photo challenge. No creation is possible without inspiration, otherwise it would be an imitation. Here is a photo of the most inspiring island I have ever visited. Listen to the song to find out where it is 😉    

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past 02

Standing on a 200 m high dolomite rock at the elevation of 634 m in the Spiš region of Slovakia Spiš castle (Spišský hrad) is one of the biggest European castles whose land area covers 41,426 m². First built in the 12th century in Romanesque style at the site of an earlier hrad (hrad is Slovakian word for castle), Spiš Castle was the political, administrative, economic and…

Black & White Sunday: NATURAL

When I think of a challenge I intend it to be as broad and as specific as possible. This time the theme is NATURAL – it can be nature in general, human nature or anything in between. The following naturescape for me is an allegory of human nature. If you have missed seeing it in colour, you can find it here with the corresponding story….
