Tuesday Photo Challenge: Road
Posted on June 11, 2019
Out here in the French countryside there are many roads like this: leading who knows where and accessible only by tractor.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Ancient
Posted on June 4, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week is ‘Ancient’. It’s open to discussion whether there’s a clear transition point between merely old and truly ancient, but I don’t think there’d be too much argument against calling the historic city of Petra as properly ancient. As the poem says, it is after all ‘The rose-red city half as old as time’.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Tower
Posted on May 29, 2019
Frank’s theme for his Tuesday Photo Challenge this week is ‘Tower’. This image gives you two for the price of one.
It shows an aspect of the church in the preserved village (and national monument) of Oradour-sur-Glane.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Vista
Posted on May 22, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week is ‘Vista’ and, inspired by the photo he used in his own post, I have gone with a seascape from the coast of New South Wales – somewhere in the Sydney area, but I can’t remeber exactly where.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Wheel
Posted on May 8, 2019
Frank’s theme for his Tuesday Photo Challenge this week is ‘wheel’.
Here in rural France, old cartwheels that are way past their sell-by date are a common sight. This one was spotted in the nearby village of Saint-Martial-sur-Isop, during the ‘Wool Festival’, which accounts for the natty headgear.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Worship
Posted on April 17, 2019
Frank has set the theme of ‘Worship’ for the Tuesday Photo Challenge this week.
Always pleased to have an opportunity to showcase one of the most visually stunning places of worship you’re ever likely to see – he Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi
Round Patterns
Posted on March 5, 2019
This image is multi-tasking as my entry this week for both Frank’s Tuesday Photo Challenge with the theme of ‘Round’ and Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, where the subject is “Patterns‘.
It is a photograph of one of the magnificent crystal chandeliers in the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, captured by setting my camera’s auto-timer and laying it on the floor of the prayer hall, pointing up at the ceiling.
