This is the last week of my Just Some Fun Topics challenge series.
This week’s topic is Weathered Wood. Any kind of weathered wood which can come from on old building that lost it’s paint, driftwood, sculptures. You be shown a variety of different photos that fit this category.
Feel free to dig around in your archives for photos if you don’t have anything knew you can photograph. Most of all I hope you have fun. This is definitely one where you can add photos of your favorite things.
I had a marvelous response from all of you on last week’s theme of Abstract Photography. Thanks everyone you always amaze and delight me. I’m proud to announce our featured bloggers from last week’s topic. Their posts really grabbed my attention. Please check out their posts and congratulate them. Maybe you will be chosen next week.

Cee, as always you provide us with fantastic images. My pick for this week must be the wheel and the old house, normally I’m not a sepia person, but I really like it.

Weathered wood! You must be surrounded by it, Cee, living where you do. Even the rafters in my house are made of ‘oregon’ and we are so far away. No oregon or hardwood used in houses here anymore; it’s all pine. I worry for the future of these houses.
I’m not sure if I have any photos, and as it is 6:30 AM and I about to ‘get behind the mule’, this challenge may have to wait until later.
Thank you so much for featuring my abstract photos. It is indeed an honour.

Great weathered photos. I don’t think I have ever seen a wooden (?water) tank before. Is it for water or for grain? It looks like it fills either railway carts or trucks. Otherwise it has to be a giant teapot.

It is a water tank for old steam trains…..so you are right on. 🙂

What is it about weathered wood that pulls us in? Clearly I’m not the only one. I have so many photos that relate to this topic I could probably do 365 days of weathered wood, but would that be too much? I pared my choices down to one specific trip my family took a few years ago. I hope you love them as much as I love yours! https://lunanista.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/cees-fun-foto-challenge-weathered-wood/
