Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #99 – Old and New
Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands.
First of all I would like to thank you for all your gloriously delicate colours from last week – so creative and so interesting – and so many!
This week, Amy is challenging us to look for “Old and New”, and now we’re looking forward to your interpretation.
In the opener, Hovdala Castle, Sweden, a place to remember the old and celebrate in new ways. But Old and New can be the contrast of architecture, fashion, collections, treasures… in one photo or multiple photos. Please visit Amy for beautiful views and inspiration!
I have consulted the archives, and these all represent moments where I really was stricken by the perspective of Old and New.
Tbilisi, Georgia – is a very old city that is being totally rebuilt. Sometimes the combinations are not that great, but old and new is always very striking.
Everywhere in Europe, you will find Old and New together.
Some combinations hurt more than others – This beautiful old building was combined with a new hotel – Umeå, Sweden.
Tbilisi again – the old fortress looking down on the new city.
In fact, when I think of old and new – two cities come to mind directly – and here they are. And, there is a reason to why one of them is called ”The Eternal City”…
I hope you will enjoy the challenge, and we are looking forward to interesting posts!
Stay tuned for Tina’s (Travels and Trifles) LAPC #100 on June 6th.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #87 – Reflections
We welcome another guest blogger this week, Miriam of The Showers of Blessings. She suggests we find reflections to share.
Believe it or not, but I found myself in some of mine…even though I never do selfies.
Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many — not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Today, International Women’s Day, we might just change his quote a bit…and put in woman and women too.
Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?
―
Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you’re just a reflection of him?
―
Bewilderment increases in the presence of the mirrors.
―
When do I see a photograph, when a reflection?
―
A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.

These images were made in Iceland, Stettin, Copenhagen, Bilbao, Norway and Switzerland. As usual, click to enlarge.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Yard
For Frank this week. I’d love a yard with trees, leaves, cats – and wine as a roof.
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #84 – Narrow
Future? Now, let’s see what will happen this week! Amy has chosen Narrow as our theme. She says:
Travel has taught me that once we go through a narrow path, alley, and/or road with a little patience, at the end it always opens up to pleasant surprises.
Of course I agree – in urban areas: a narrow street where you have to look far up to see the sun; steep, dark stairs ending in a light blue door, and the very old streets of Tbilisi.
My own love for things narrow, is a winding path – and preferably one of which I don’t know the end…
But, to me they all are inviting. Though every narrow shell does not hold a pearl – at least not one like my daughter!
Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.
Finally, Thank you for all your creative answers to last week’s challenge, Future, fantastic reading and images, both hopeful and sad. Just the way Life is. ♥
Stay tuned for the last February challenges:
- Feb. 22 – Tina of Travels and Trifles
- Feb. 29–Patti of P.A. Moed
Remember to link to Amy’s original post, and tag it with “Lens-Artists.” If you’re new to tagging, click here for an explanation of how and why.
As always, we are all looking forward to seeing your creative responses to the challenge – and thank you for your support!
Thursday Thoughts – Glimpses of Modern Tbilisi
More of Tbilisi, Georgia – there is, of course, a modern part of it as well…even if that was not the main reason for my visit!
Strolling the busy streets, I looked through the windows of different restaurants and shops – and saw this fantastic wallpaper, with lamps in an oval shape.
The overall photo sits last in this gallery – there you will find the first three of these architectural wonders – more facts in the pictures.
A would be Concert hall – empty interior, all the money spent on the exterior. See the header!
Peace Bridge – or ”Always ultra”, beacause of its likeness to a sanitary towel…see the overall, last photo in this gallery.
This passage was filled with murals and graffiti – too narrow to get a good shot though…
Out in the street again
I just had to go back for a closer look at the wallpaper – fascinating history become art? Anyway – I just loved it. It covered the whole interior, quite a large room. I would love to have a piece of it framed on my wall. So many different faces – Please click to enlarge – and you get the feeling!
