Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreamy

From last winter, trees reflected in Tranquility Base’s very own étang.  

Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs

We’ve all seen signs like this (from the door of a church in Venice). But who knew that those early Nokia mobile phones could shoot video?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime

I’ve been waiting ages for an excuse to post this picture. Taken from the balcony of my apartment in Abu Dhabi during a particularly spectacular thunderstorm.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Endurance

The blue paint on this old door in the nearby village of Bonnefont, here in Haute-Vienne, has obviously endured whatever the local climate has thrown at it over many years.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity

This is from a few years back. On a trip to Oman, we went out to to look for dolphins. Khaled didn’t waste the opportunity to catch his dinner.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dialogue

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fray

The dried and fraying husk of a seed-pod, photographed last December in a nearby hedgerow.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette

Weekly Photo Challenge: Texture

Macro is a good way to discover texture. This is the stamen of a lily. Try not to get the pollen on your clothes: it’ll never come off.
