Tuesday Photo Challenge: Fantasy
Posted on November 19, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week is ‘fantasy’. I suppose one way of defining that is as something that doesn’t actually exist but you would quite like it if it did.
The possibilities are almost endless, but on a very still day on the River Charente in the Dordogne there’s more than a suggestion of fantasy about the reflections of the riverbank.

This window above the abandoned premises of a video hire shop (remember them?) in the town of Chabanais is lifted out of the ordinary by the eerie presence of an old lace curtain.

Garages aren’t necessarily for just one vehicle, however:
Follow the signs for the public conveniences, though, and you’ll be in for a disappointment:
Finally, an old workshop:

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Slope
Posted on November 13, 2019
Let’s play a word association game. Last week, Frank’s theme for his Tuesday Photo Challenge was ‘steep’. What else could it be this time but ‘slope’?
The almost impossibly picturesque village of Saint Cirq Lapopie clings to a hillside near the town of Cahors, in southern France. There isn’t a level (or particularly wide) street in the place, so lots of slopes. This is probably one of the more challenging ones.

Monday Window: The Grand Mosque, Muscat

The Grand Mosque in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, features many stained glass windows. In accordance with Islamic tradition, images are geometrical and abstract rather than featuring depictions of the human form.
