The latest photo challenge of the Daily Post had the topic ‘unlikely’. Quite a broad and versatile topic. It is about something that happened even though it was not expected to happen. This made me think of a trip to Mount Snowdon which was wrapped in clouds when I arrived and didn’t seam to revealContinue reading “Unlikely – photo challenge”

Prolific – photo challenge
Last week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post was about something ‘prolific‘ – for me it is about something successful. The first things that came onto my mind were ‘U2’ and ‘Dublin’. Being such a successful band, having fans from all over the world traveling to their hometown to follow the footsteps of music historyContinue reading “Prolific – photo challenge”
I’d rather be – photo challenge
I just caught myself daydreaming about the lovely places ‘I’d rather be’ right now while procrastinating the work I actually should finish, when I realised that this was this week’s topic of the Daily Mail’s photo challenge 😀 As the weather just turned winterly cold again my mind took me to the lovely West coastContinue reading “I’d rather be – photo challenge”
A Face In The Crowd – photo challenge
Last week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post was about ‘a face in the crowd’ but with a slight twist. Instead of exposing the person on the picture, anonymity is the key – meaning capturing a person’s shadow, picturing them from behind, or when they hide their faces. I really liked this idea, especially asContinue reading “A Face In The Crowd – photo challenge”
Tour Guide – photo challenge
This week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post has the topic ‘Tour Guide’. It is about showing the most interesting or significant places of the places someone grew up. As I was looking through my pictures thinking of places around the area I grew up that mean something to me, I quickly had to realiseContinue reading “Tour Guide – photo challenge”
Land’s End
Visiting the southern coast of England, I also went to ‘Land’s End‘, a headland and lovely holiday area in Cornwall, which is part of the Penwith peninsula and seen as the most westerly point of England. The edge is marked by the ‘First and Last House’ which is now a small gift shop. Continue reading “Land’s End”
Evanescent – photo challenge
This week’s photo challenge of The Daily Post – a little bit late but till not too late – is ‘evanescent’, or more precisely about something that lasts only for a short period before it disappears and is forgotten. The ‘short period’ should be seen in relation to all components. Compared to the period ofContinue reading “Evanescent – photo challenge”
Heritage – photo challenge: Caernarfon Castle
This week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post is about ‘heritage’, which stands for something that belongs to the culture of a specific society, such as buildings, languages or traditions that originated in the past but still have historical importance. Travelling to different countries, I was able to visit many historical places, that offer loadsContinue reading “Heritage – photo challenge: Caernarfon Castle”
Wanderlust – photo challenge
This week’s photo challenge of The Daily Post is about ‘wanderlust’. The term itself originated in Germany and describes a person’s need of just going outside and starting to walk along a path or travel the world. It is also the opposite word of being homesick. Since 1902 the word was adapted to the EnglishContinue reading “Wanderlust – photo challenge”
Security – photo challenge
The topic for this week’s photo challenge of The Daily Post is ‘security’, which actually is quite a big and broad topic. In ‘Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs’ safety is the next step after psychological needs in the Pyramid and hence still belongs to the basic needs of an individual. Feeling secure is more a psychologicalContinue reading “Security – photo challenge”
