Muddy tracks
Posted on February 21, 2020
There are many ‘roads’ like this one around here – access tracks for agricultural equipment. You certainly wouldn’t want to try and get your shiny new roadster along here, or even your flash SUV, probably.
It has been a very wet winter here and the ground is very muddy, which accounts for the almost three-dimensional set of tractor tracks in this image.

K is for kite

Something involving the letter K is Cee’s Fun Foto prompt for this week, so here is a very large kite that was flying at the annual ‘Estevol’ airshow last summer.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Number
Posted on February 18, 2020
For the 200th iteration of his Tuesday Photo Challenge, Frank has chosen the theme of ‘Number’.
I spotted this lorry in the Sydney suburb of Manley. There are lots of numbers on it and I have no further comment.

This colonnade of marble columns at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi seems to go on forever.

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.
