SO MANY PEDESTRIANS, SO LITTLE TIME.

PHOTO CHALLENGE: THE PEDESTRIAN Garry had a bumper sticker on his old red Mustang convertible that said: “So many pedestrians, so little time.” Cruel? Only if you weren’t trying to drive cross-town in Boston where pedestrians pay no attention to signs, crosswalks, or even oncoming trucks and cars. If they feel like crossing the street, […]

Windows

These images would seem a mismatch, were it not for the weekly photo challenge. We were lucky to meet Todd Saunders earlier this year at his studio in Austin, Texas. He crafts neon artwork with a retro, pop art style. Todd also collects roadside iconography and fairground relics (if you have a clown phobia, don’t ask […]

Special dresses

When the layers are adding and adding .. You’ll easily distinguish the tourist, usually half naked, while locals as usual know better when it comes to protect their skins from the sun – we are in Asia: white is the only beautiful skin colour! Add gloves, long socks, helmet (or should I say plastic bucket) […]

Open my eyes to textured layers of beauty in all of us

“This week, share with us a layered image of your own. The topic is wide open, as long as you focus on the interplay of depth, density, and texture (or just choose one of these elements if you’d like)” The WordPress powers that be as personified by Ben Huberman I have limited myself in this post […]

Buddha & Ganesha in Oslo

Unless you have kids, this is a place most people just pass by on a nearby trail on their way to/from work. Definitely a structure that is typically overlooked.

Foot reflexology

If you take a stroll in a park in Taiwan or China you will very likely come across a strange sight. Men and women, mostly middle-aged or elderly walking barefoot on a path made up from large smooth pebbles with the thin end sticking up. I can assure you that these people are not doing […]

Hamburg. The city of water.

Hamburg – Das Tor zur Welt (Gateway to the World) – is a city of water. This element is omnipresent in this city; from the Elbe River to the Alster Lake to numerous canals flowing through the city – no matter where we go we always know water is nearby.

Hawaii

My recent trip to Hawaii provided me with the perfect shot for this weeks Daily Post Challenge of Elemental. Earth, air, fire, and water are all there, but you can’t tell that the air is not exactly the best for you from this shot. I probably could have gotten a little closer if this hadn’t […]
