Weekly Photo Challenge: Abandoned

Somehow I believe that this vessel is not totally abandoned – only for the moment. An owner will return some day. Hope is valuable to us all!

Object – what’s an ”object”? The WP challenge this week made me choose a useful object, an object that I like, portrayed on the most beautiful summer’s day.

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Imagination

Imagination – life would be unbearable without it. I was an imaginative child, and much of it was sparkled by books and all those stories hidden inside…

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
Jorge Luis Borges

Personally, I would sooner have written Alice in Wonderland than the whole Encyclopedia Britannica.

Stephen Leacock

This piece of Encyclopaedia Britannica was bought by my daughter, who used her imaginative creativity  to make it end up as my birthday present!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition är ett roligt ord, nästan onomatopoetiskt eller ljudhärmande, om du upprepar det några gånger…I Madrid hittade jag ett flertal exempel på sådana kombinationer av levande eller döda ting som befinner sig intill varandra och medvetet eller omedvetet bildar kontraster. Några fler, och bättre, finns i ett tidigare inlägg, här i the green wall.

Idag har jag valt fyra andra exempel. Det första sida vid sida, det andra ovanpå varandra, det tredje omringande varandra och i det sista exemplet klänger de sig fast vid varandra…

Juxtaposition is a funny word, and it sounds almost onomatopoetic when you pronounce it a couple of times…In Madrid I caught some of them…the juxtapositions. I know I used the green wall in an older post with (more and better than these…I won a competition with that one) juxtapositions, but this time I have picked another four examples. They do stand in contrast, the first one side by side, the second one on top of the other, then almost surrounding each other, and in the last picture they are clinging to one another.

Somehow it’s easy to find buildings and architecture showing this, but of course you find it everywhere if you just take a look around…Find more of juxtapositioning here!

Side by side

On top of each other

Side by side and surrounding

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Buzz

I’m an outdoorsman kind of person, so I don’t like the buzz of the crowd, crowd, crowd and all that so much. I mean I don’t mind it, but I don’t seek it out.
