Lens-Artists Challenge: Five Elements
Posted on December 1, 2024
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).

This bizarre metal sculpture can be found in the Japanese Garden in the city of Toulouse, in southern France. It looks like it might once have belonged to Captain Nemo.
And, as you can tell from the foliage, it was taken in autumn.

Sheep markets are held regularly in our local village. They take place on the Rue du Marché Ovin (it means…er, ‘Sheep Market Road’). When I was recently mooching around the metal pens I had obviously just missed one.
In the circumstances, you can’t really blame the sheep for being nervous, I suppose.

Tuesdays of Texture: Firepit
Posted on November 2, 2016
We’ve just spent a week in a holiday cottage in the still largely rural East Lothian region of Scotland. Although the weather wasn’t good enough (October? Scotland? I don’t think so) for us to use it, this firepit/barbecue area certainly offered a whole range of textures.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Spare
Posted on May 28, 2016
This motley collection of rusty washers and other miscellaneous bits and pieces (presumably spares) was seen at a vide grenier (car boot sale) in the village of Lesterps. Who buys this stuff?
