Tuesday Photo Challenge – City

You don’t need a framework. You need a painting, not a frame. – Klaus Kinski
I guess most of us love things framed to help us follow lines and reveal the artist’s intentions with his/her work. At least if we put them on our wall at home or go to an exhibition. Now Amy challenges us to consider framing – and in my selection (from Stettin all except the header) I try to show some very different ones as well. An important thing to remember is, that a frame doesn’t have to look like a frame, and it does not have to apply to the whole picture either.
I’ve often noticed that we are not able to look at what we have in front of us, unless it’s inside a frame – Abbas Kiarostami
Thank you for all your inspiring Angles last week! – and thank you, Amy, for a beautiful set of frames and for all the fun with this challenge!
For Paula this month – my favorite prompt!
Keys come in many shapes –
For Frank this week – a Key to my heart and attention found in the streets of Stettin last week – Forestforever.

I just had to join in the Friday Photo fun again, Amanda – Remote – my favorite place to be! But this Light house was the most remote one I have ever been to. I knew there was to stand an orange light house on the westernmost point of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, and talked my husband into driving there. I almost came to regret it – we drove for hours in the black lava fields on a Very Bumpy gravel road.
The Lighthouse was visible from afar, but we seemed never to get there…but finally!
This photography challenge is posted every Friday by

Last week Patti used a lovely old English rhyme for the challenge – this week we would love to see your interpretation of what difference angles can do… for our perception of the world.
I was a teacher for many years, and my classes often discussed today’s society, history or literature. For better understanding of other people’s opinions, I used to give a simple example using the numbers 6 and 9. Depending on where you sit or stand, it might be 9 or 6 that you see. If you are not wise enough to envision how the person sitting at the other side of the table might see it, you will always have some trouble understanding other people’s point of view. (The world today… and forever?)
The importance of different ways of seeing the same object, thing, person, happening…cannot be overestimated. And now I hope you will have some fun with it too!
Angles is the challenge!
If you find you have no time to photograph something new from different angles, I am sure you have pictures in your archives to use – because, I guess many camera people work just like I do… Every year I take pictures of the same house, the same people, the same forest… but maybe just not from the same angle!
My choices are two: One sand sculpture from the Denmark exhibition –
– and one sculpture from Stykkishólmur, Iceland.
The fascinating thing is that these two are totally different and so are their messages. But, both sculptures need you to walk around them to get the details, the picture, the whole story, the complete message. So, what would Your interpretation be?
We are looking forward to seeing all your fascinating Angles!
Thank you, Patti, for last week’s challenge, Something old, new, borrowed and blue that really got us thinking – So many creative posts from you all!
Patti’s challenge this week is for us to find Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue – or at least some of these. It is a very old saying, in Sweden as well, that worn on your wedding day, these will bring you luck and happiness in life.
So, I chose Nature for this challenge. To me, in winter clothes, she looks as pure as a bride on her wedding day.
The old oak tree all dressed in white…
…and the winter twigs in borrowed new feathers – a short lived beauty – shimmering against the blue sky.
Finally, the remains of my father’s old house, hidden in the white forest.
The opening image is a favorite photo of starlings, borrowed some years ago from my friend Jane Tomlinson.
Welcome to join in the challenge!
Nothing beats Nature – but –
For Frank – maybe the most strange and sweetest wonderful works of art over my head…
The ice chandelier at the Ice Hotel, Sweden.
The lovely, painted bookstore in Vilnius, Lithuania. (Not exactly the Long Room, but…a piece of magic still…)
Once a year, go somewhere you have never been before – Dalai Lama
Tina allows us all to take a break this week, and I am just back from a lovely break together with my family. The best way for me to enjoy life!
We went to Denmark this weekend, the whole family, and watched the Danish wake-board championships together with many enthusiasts.
The weather was great, and the competitors skilled.
Afterwards we decided to go for the sand sculpture exhibitions – and they were spectacular too. But, what I enjoyed the most, was being together with my children.

Find what brings you joy and go there. – Jan Phillips
On coming home this afternoon, I walk in my garden, among the flowers, listening to the late summer fluttering of tiny wings.
The Painted Lady is watching me, closely.
When she turns around, I admire her intricate outfit. And I feel good.
Welcome to join in the challenge!
For Franks weekly challenge – rectangles! Harpa, Iceland. Look closely and you will find the top of Hallgrimskirkja too.
