This week’s Topics: Cities and City Structures
This week’s challenge is all about Cities. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about cities.
A city is a relatively large and permanent human settlement. Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town within general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law.
Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process, but it also presents challenges to managing urban growth
Let’s see some photos that can only be seen in cities. Have fun with this theme. I’m looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.
- Abandoned Buildings or Barns
- Bridges
- Landscapes or Seascapes
- Cities and City Structures
- Industrial
The Next Series – Things Mentioned in Songs
- My Favorite Things, Verse One: Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles, and warm woolen mittens, Brown paper packages tied up with strings, These are a few of my favorite things
- You Are My Sunshine, Chorus – You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you’ll never know dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.
- My Favorite Things, Verse Two: Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels, Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles, Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, These are a few of my favorite things
- This Land Is My Land, 2 verses: As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: This land was made for you and me.
- My Favorite Things, Verse Three: Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters that melt into springs, These are a few of my favorite things.
- Let’s Go Fly a Kite – With tuppence for paper and strings, You can have your own set of wings, With your feet on the ground, You’re a bird in a flight, With your fist holding tight, To the string of your kite. Oh, oh, oh! Let’s go fly a kite, Up to the highest height! Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring, Up through the atmosphere, Up where the air is clear, Oh, let’s go fly a kite!
- My Favorite Things, Chorus – When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don’t feel so bad
How It Works?
Most weeks I will come up with a topic. Feel free to write me with things you want to learn about.
Go through you photo archives and see what photos you have that fits the current week’s challenge, or better yet grab you camera and take a new photo!
ENJOY and have FUN.

Okay, I have to ask. WHAT is that city with the mountains behind the skyscrapers? I want to go live there right now! Gorgeous urban landscapes, Cee. Just stunning.

That is Portland, Oregon. Mt Hood stands tall behind it. Oregon is basically 200 feet above sea level. Mt Hood I think 11,239 feet. On a clear day it is really impressive. We just don’t clear days very often.

Great shots.
The first one was dizzying. I could sense my little fear of heights. I liked the bridge in the background. The second photo with old and new buildings, the fact that you captured all of the height in the shot, and then contrasted with the action of the cyclist. That was great.
Beautiful third shot. And the fourth is so interesting under the bridge.
Very nice. Randy
