Patti says this week we’re exploring “the edges.” What have we captured “On the Edge” of buildings, cliffs, beaches, shelves, or any kind of edge we can think of. An interesting challenge open for many interpretations.
In the header, I have put Icelandic rocks and a weasel(?) on one of the edges.
I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.
– Kurt Vonnegut
Switzerland and my garden – varied things and creatures on the edge.
We live at the edge of the miraculous.
– Henry Miller
Alaskan rainforest and a small tent covering a First Nation family. On the edge of society.
Life and death are balanced on the edge of a razor.– Homer
My hands and camera on the edge of a precipice – of books!
‘Tis the sharpness of our mind that gives the edge to our pains and pleasures.
– Michel de Montaigne

A sharp tongue is the only edge tool that grows keener with constant use.– Washington Irving

Sooner or later we will come to the edge of all that we can control and find life, waiting there for us.– Rachel Naomi Remen

Lovely post, Ann-Christine. The dunes and the book cliff are my favorites this week.
Thank you – the books were popular!
Love the books click
Fab collection.
Thank you!
You are welcome, AC
Hi Anne-Christine, wow…I’m in awe, your selections for the prompt are so fascinating! The one that made me wonder the most was the one of you and the books. Do tell…how did you do that or find a place like that to get that photo!? PS as a fellow fan of dew drops on grass, I loved that photo too!
Thank you, Shelley! Well, to tell you the truth, we happened to walk past the city’s library (Prague)and there was a gigantic queue outside. We decided to return the day after instead. And – those books were built up in a trumpet like cone – I guess there must have been mirrors inside. We looked into it and was rather mezmerised. They told us the queue was due to a message on instagram about this.
You’re welcome! That’s an interesting back story as to how you found your way to the photo opportunities! The swirl of books into a cone is so fascinating. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
Amazing edge images, AC!! Love all of these. The the My hands and camera on the edge is absolutely stunning.
Oh….what a gorgeous collection, AC. You always have such intriguing images…like a vortex of books and the rock shelf and the dew drops and the cross near the edge of the trail…but all of them are wonderful. How did you create the vortex? I love it!
Great photos, Ann-Christine! Loving the water beads on the edge of the leaves, also the book tunnel and the Sahara dunes which interestingly makes me think of cocoa powder…
All amazing shots Ann-Christine but the book vortex is incredible! Love the tranquility of the dunes too.
Great photos – the one with the books is quite creative
Ann-Christine, these are all wonderful photos. So many good one. I really like the green grass and water drops. 😀 😀
Those Icelandic rocks look sharp. I almost didn’t spot the animal. In contrast the colours of the dunes and the leaf was so arresting. The books photo was a lovely surprise. I had seen this on Instagram some time back. I need to Google more information on this installation. What a thrill it must have been, Ann-Christine.
Very alluring photos
That shot of the dunes in the Sahara is simply stunning! I love the raindrops on the blades of grass too, while the vortex of books intrigues me and the iguana takes me right back to my own visit to the Galapagos 😀
Good afternoon, dear Ann-Christine,
we very much love your book picture and the dunes. The book picture seems to be liked by most. Well, we are all bookish people, is the comment of Siri 🙂 and 🙂 Selma. But, of course, is the quality of the picture as well.
Thanks for sharing your collection

A brilliant selection of images interpreting ‘edge’ in so many different ways…from weasel (stoat?) to marvellous dunes taking in that Alaskan tent at the edge of humanity and a vortex of books along the way!
Inspirational as usual, Ann-Christine. The books photo was both awesome and disturbing. For some reason, my brain struggled with that one…! The dunes are of timeless beauty and I love your droplets photo too.
I can’t even think how you achieved some of these fantastic images – that one in the Sahara for instance. Just … wow!
Wow that is some amazing photos, Sahara, the cross I noticed straight away, lizard and the books, very impressive
Third try. It won’t accept my comment and I’ve forgot the second time to copy my comment so I could post it via the Reader. Silly me.
The dunes and book vortex get my vote as well. I enjoyed the succulents (I think) hanging over the wall in the middle shot in the top row. It made me sad to see a family living in a tent like the one you shared but other than that, all your excellent choices were lovely and some quite unusual. Now I’m going to copy so I don’t lose another comment. Sigh.
I really liked the picture of the grass blades with drops of water, Ann-Christine. Beautiful!
Amazing photos! Truly on the edge.
So many surprises to love this week. The cross, the succulents,, the drops of rain. The tent sure puts life into perspective, and the book shot is phenomenal. The Morocco dunes are amazing. Must be a favorite memory. To think those footprints tell a story, and to also think they will be gone the next day is apart of that story, isn’t it?
wow! GREAT photos. Unique, all. You weaseled out of that one! 😉
Wow Ann-Christine! Amazing images, especially the vortex of books. However did you do that? I also liked the sand dunes.
The pristine dunes and a lifetime of reading and knowledge in an incredible swirl . . . unbelievable !
Some amazing images this week Ann-Christine. Those books!!!! Wow. Also loved the little creature at the galapagos and of course those amazing dunes.
Thank you, Tina, I had fun with this one too. And, size is not possible in the land iguana photo, but he is about 120 cm and weighs maybe 10-12 kilos. The cactus is about 250 cm high. We were advised to stay not too close to them…
This is so fabulous Ann-Christine, love the Iguana, the desert, those books in a swirl actually I love ‘em all 🙂
I’m lost in that vortex of books! How did you do that? And the dunes are pristine and perfect.
