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.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Crawl

This boy – and his twin brother – now plays rugby for his school. But you have to crawl before you can walk…
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Growth
Posted on February 5, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge is ‘Growth’, so flowers seems like a logical place to go to find an appropriate image, notwithstanding that I posted a picture of some roses last time.
I saw this tightly packed group of lily buds in the Botanical Gardens in Sydney a few years ago. There’s plenty of potential growth here and perhaps the tight crop lifts the shot a little out of the ordinary.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Rose
Posted on January 29, 2019
Frank’s chosen the topic of ‘Rose’ for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge. I have no shortage of images of roses in my library, so the only problem was selecting one previously unposted. I think this fits the bill. It’s a French rose called ‘Pierre de Ronsard’ and I saw it last year at the annual festival of roses at Doué-La-Fontaine
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Breeze
Posted on January 15, 2019
Every seven years, the Catholic church in the Limousin region holds the ‘Ostensions’, when relics of the saints are paraded in procession around many of the towns and villages of the region. To mark the occasion the streets are decorated with flags and bunting, such as these flapping in the breeze outside the cathedral of Limoges.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Gentle
Posted on January 8, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge is ‘Gentle’.
This is a picture of my grandson enjoying bathtime. It goes without saying that the soap that produced all those bubbles was a very gentle one.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Floor
Posted on January 2, 2019
Inspired by his own DIY project, Frank has selected the topic of ‘Floor’ for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge.
This is a detail of a mosaic floor in the main prayer hall of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Cold and Warm

Nothing like a cold ice-cream to cool you down on a warm day.
