This week’s Thursday’s Special theme is recycled. In the image below you can see a bench made of empty graffiti paint spray bottles. I hope you are a fan of recycling and that you will have no problems finding something for this theme. I look forward to seeing your entries next week.

Thursday’s Special: Creative Intervention
Posted on December 3, 2015
Shooting an amazing piece of creation in most unlikely places, or making a creation of your own and capturing it by camera; possibilities are countless.
Have you recently seen something that changed the original aspect of a place/thing. Was it a pleasing creation or unsightly one?
I was happy I’d turned into that alleyway when I saw the DJ Cat. (click on the bellow tune)
I hope you’ll have fun joining Thursday’s Special photo challenge after a long break. For the forthcoming themes this month please consult Scheduled Challenges page.

Thursday’s Special: Graffiti
Posted on May 22, 2014
Finally I have some kick-ass graffiti to show you. This appeared in my neighbourhood just two weeks ago. I am sad to report that two homeless persons died in a fire there last winter, hence the inscription on the house. After the last flooding that hit the eastern parts of the country a lot more people will be left without homes. I can only wish and hope that the government will do everything possible to help them restore their lives.
I would be happy to see your contributions to Thursday’s Special, so leave me the link in the comments section. Happy Thursday!
