Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 30 – After
Posted on June 22, 2016
After a hard day’s playing, what could be better than to snuggle under the quilts that grandma made and take a snooze?
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 29 – Open
Posted on June 15, 2016
This open book, suspended in mid-air, was part of an artistic installation in the Visitor Centre at the Oradour-sur-Glane memorial. If books survive, and they can still be opened, then perhaps there is some hope in that.
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 21 – Fresh
Posted on April 13, 2016
It probably doesn’t get much fresher than this colourful display of salad leaves at the Rialto Market in Venice:
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 19 – Gap
Posted on March 29, 2016
In the gap betwen two high-rise buildings in central Sydney, here we see the New Year’s Eve firework display (with the added bonus of reflections in the plate glass). This was a 0.5 second exposure, but I think the resultant slight blur makes the light from the fireworks even more dramatic than it actually was.
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 18 – Sweet
Posted on March 23, 2016
I recently posted a photograph of one of my grandsons in blissful contemplation of a pain au chocolat. That was in response to a WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge. Now, as I have twin grandsons, Hugh’s latest weekly challenge – Sweet – provides a perfect opportunity to redress the balance and post a photograph of my other grandson in equally blissful contemplation, this time of an ice-cream. Chocolate and pistachio: what’s not to like?
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 17 – Calm
Posted on March 16, 2016
If I come out of my house, walk the 25 yards or so up to the road and look to my left, this is what I see. And people wonder why I refer to the petit hameau we live in as ‘Tranquility Base’.
(By the way, this is rush hour.)
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 12 – Games
Posted on February 11, 2016
This week’s theme is ‘Games’, so here is a photograph taken last summer of my twin grandsons playing basketball in our swimming pool.
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 11 – Rust
Posted on February 7, 2016
My first time participating in Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge and it’s on the subject of rust.
Oradour-sur-Glane was the scene of a massacre of over 600 French civilians in June 1944, and ever since the village has been left as it was, as a memorial and open-air museum. Inevitably, there’s a lot of rust about, including this car and petrol pump.
