I had a marvelous response from all of you on last week’s theme of Industrial. Thanks everyone you always amaze and delight me.
I’m proud to announce our featured bloggers this week. Their posts really grabbed my attention. Please check out their posts and congratulate them. Maybe you will be chosen next week.
Featured Bloggers
Ever Changing – Timeless black and white photos for industrial.
Leya – Leya went to a Lime plant that is fairly close to her home a took two marvelous photo.
Gluten Free. Lekker Food! Leaker Life! – There are some wonderful photos for this week, I especially like the second one with the gorgeous sunset of clearing snow.
Life is Great – Great photo of a power transmission line.
Hamburg Und Mee(h)r – Stunning clarity in these industrial photos.
Mostly Monochrome – Great huge tanks of some sort. I like they stepped out of the all black and white photos for these images.
PsychologistMimi – Such a great variety of photos for this topic.
Drawing With Light – Pay particular attention to her second photo of the reflection. I think it is stunning.
Current Series – Subjects from Songs
The series is finding subjects for your photo or photos that sparked ideas from verses from songs. So whatever sparks your imagine and creativity will fit into this category. Here is the first verse of the song My Favorite Things from the movie Sound of Music.
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
Current – Things Mentioned in Songs
- My Favorite Things, Verse One.
- 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
The Next Series – Just some fun topics
- Bikes and Motorcycles
- Farm Animals
- Catching People Unaware
- Abstracts
- Weathered Wood
How It Works?
