Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Abstract Photography

Cee’s challenge this week is about abstractions. My try is from Malmoe last Autumn. See more abstract photos here.

Like abstract art, abstract photography concentrates on shape, form, colour, pattern and texture. The viewer is often unable to see the whole object. The subject of the photo is often only a small part of the idea of the image. Viewers may only know the essence of the image subject or understand it by what is implied. 

Often the image will not be a literal view of the subject itself. The subject tends to come second to seeing. The impact of aspects of the subject become a form of expressing the point. (definition found here)

Cee’s Fun foto Challenge: Catching People Unaware

My trip to Gdansk brought many opportunities for this challenge of Cee’s..I have shown these shots before, I think, but my memories are sweet and warm from this sunny trip.

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Bikes and Motorcycles

Bikes and Motorcycles – Maybe not exactly qualifying for this, but these were the most frequently used vehicles in Rome.

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My Favourite Things Chorus

When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don’t feel so bad.

My favourites – a sunny walk under the open blue sky, the snow  just melted away – it’s early spring – and my best friends are running wild with joy. Then I don’t feel so bad…

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Let’s Go Fly a Kite

With tuppence for paper and strings, You can have your own set of wings, With your feet on the ground, You’re a bird in a flight, With your fist holding tight, To the string of your kite. Oh, oh, oh! Let’s go fly a kite, Up to the highest height! Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring, Up through the atmosphere, Up where the air is clear, Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

I have posted him before, but this theme meant memories…

Almost exactly two years ago, I found this magnificent kite in the forest, lying on his back in poor condition. So – I took him to the expert to save him, if possible. At first he seemed not too badly hurt and for some days we had hopes for him to be able to fly again.

Unfortunately the veterinaries couldn’t save this beautiful bird – letting him go without him having full control of body and wings would starve him to death. So, my try to ”fly a kite” was in vain. At least I’m grateful for having given him a second chance.

I’m sure he is soaring somewhere up there now…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My favourite things verse three

For Cee this week – some of my favourite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters that melt into springs, These are a few of my favorite things.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: This Land is My Land

As I was walking that ribbon of highway, 
I saw above me that endless skyway: 
I saw below me that golden valley: 
This land was made for you and me.
 I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps, 
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; 
And all around me a voice was sounding: 
This land was made for you and me.

Of course Cee’s challenge must be applied on my own country and land – Sweden.
