Anvisningarna för den här veckan var lite svårbegripliga…åtminstone om man, som jag, varit mestadels förlagd till sängen hela veckan och inte hunnit komma i form. Kort sagt skulle man fotografera någon eller något som skulle varit i förgrunden men hamnat i bakgrunden – eller tvärtom…?
For this challenge – In the Background – I had to read the instructions at least twice. And I’m still not sure if I got it right?
Anyway. This is a photo of me (some buildings, a globe (?) and a street lamp) taking a photo of the street lamp shown in the picture. I was not supposed to be in the picture, but I somehow got a lot more than I asked for. I think it came out rather understandable anyway, but what the main thing is here – I’m not sure about. What I’m sure about, is, that this is Beijing.

What a great capture! I didn’t notice you in the photo until I read the post, how funny is that? The top and right sides of the photo are so striking and dominate the viewers impression. Great post.
Thank you so much! As Madhu pointed out – never delete a photo even if you think it is no good. I usually wait until I have seen it on my PC – in this case it was a good idea.

The best so far!
Like I mentioned on Viveka’s post, a good lesson NEVER to delete what we feel at the time are disappointing shots 😀
Yes, a good lesson indeed.

Perfect! You win first prize. 😀
Thank you AD – I don’t know about that…I think there are many interesting interpretations here! I’m happy you liked it though!
Tittar på bilden och ser nya saker hela tiden 🙂
Ha, ha – kul!
I think you got it right! Great job!
Thanks!
I like your picture but the ”background” image of your site is really something.I love it! Funny how this relates to the DP photo challenge theme, ”in the background” 🙂
Thank you, Aranne! I didn’t think about that – how it relates to the challenge. Nice! Here you can see the background picture on my photo blog:

A fascinating photo.
…almost threw it away.
Really?!
Yes, when I first took a brief look at it in the camera, in Beijing, I thought it looked too blurry, but decided to keep it until I could see it on my PC.
Great entry for the challenge!
Thank you so much! That was a photo nearly thrown away…
Det er et meget flot billede – og jeg ser dig i baggrunden. hehe – Den stilling du står i genkender jeg så godt. Vidunderligt billede til en sjov udfordring. Tak !!
Tack, Mariane! Jo, ibland undrar jag om man inte fått sin tennisarmbåge av fotograferandet istället för av musanvändandet…
I love this!
I have not gotten any mail from WordPress today not your alerts or anything. I did not even get The Weekly Photo challenge. Can you see my blog please?
Yes, I can see! I visited you some minutes ago! Strange.
Thank you for letting me know I am not invisible ; )
😉 I don’t think you would ever be that…thank goodness!
That is so cool.
😉 Thanks!
Just popped it onto my post 🙂
Brilliant …. so is how I read it too …. top class entry!!!!
Ha, ha – thanks Viveka!
