This week’s Lens-Artists Challenge, set by Sophia at Photographias, asks us to feature the four classical elements: air, earth, fire and water, but with metal as an addition.

Ideally, a single image would include all five (and so probably qualify for a notional bonus point. Unfortunately, I could find nothing in my library that would achieve that quintuple whammy, but I managed to include the full set in just two images.

Air and fire are accounted for by this shot taken at a firework display celebrating the United Arab Enirates’ National Day (which, coincidentally, comes round again this week).

As for the rest, here’s some dew (water) on a spider’s web woven on the back of a metal (sic) chair in our back garden (earth).
