Tuesday Photo Challenge: Action
Posted on February 11, 2020
After last week’s theme of ‘Rest’ it was only logical that this time Frank would be seeking some ‘Action’ images for his Tuesday Photo Challenge.
This is the display team of the Air Force of the United Arab Emirates in action over Abu Dhabi, as part of the country’s National Day celebrations.
Monday Window – Abandoned
Posted on February 10, 2020
When we were house-hunting in France we saw quite a few of what we described as ‘Marie Celeste ‘ properties – houses that seemed to have been frozen in time as their inhabitants just upped and left.
This was one of them. I cannot remember where it was but I do know we didn’t buy it.
52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 6 – No Filter
Posted on February 8, 2020
Week 6 of the Smartphone Challenge calls for a picture straight out of the camera, with no post-processing.
This angry-looking creature is actually a tomato from our poly-tunnel (‘serre’). Something either got its teeth into it or it’s an unfortunate mutation. Either way, I Brought it into the house, placed it on the newel post of the staircase, pointed and clicked. Apart from the watermark, this is exactly how the image came out. No post-processing.

Mystery building
Posted on February 7, 2020
I’ve been intrigued by this building ever since I first saw it over ten years ago. It is just outside the boundary of a shopping centre on the outskirts of Limoges.
I have no idea what it is, but the combination of shapes – including a spiral staircase – certainly fits the bill for Cee’s Black & White theme this week of ‘Geometry’.

Monday Window – Confolens
Posted on February 3, 2020
An obviously restored but none the less accomplished stained glass window from the medieval church in the town of Confolens. If you look closely it is possible to see that it wasn’t actually in situ, but rather was resting on the wooden floor, propped up against a wall.
52-Week Smartphone Challenge: 5 – Symmetry
Posted on February 1, 2020
Week 5 of Khurt’s 52-Week Smartphone Challenge has the theme of ‘symmetry’. Reflections are always a good place to start when seeking symmetry, and bodies of water are always a good place to find reflections.
This pond is just across the road, about a hundred feet from our front door. It was completely dry back in the summer, but it’s done very little except rain here since late August, so it’s now an impressive little body of water.

Motoring Signs

These signs are on a door at the ‘Route 66’ biker hotel in nearby Bussière-Poitevine
Haymaking
Posted on January 29, 2020
I suppose that, strictly speaking, this is not so much harvest as haymaking, but I think it stands on its own merits as a contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto theme for this week of ‘harvest’.
