The bluest of blue skies above the town of Perigueux.

On a hot day in Dubai (in November!) the only thing to do is to jump in the swimming pool and cool off.

The Fun Foto Challenge this week has the theme of ‘texture’. There’s lots of that in this battered old doll’s baby carriage, not to mention the concreted wall behind it and the gravel beneath.

Posted on August 29, 2017

Nikon D800, 70-200mm f2.8 lens at 200mm. 1/250 at f8, ISO400. Cropped and adjusted in Lightroom.
