Weekly Photo Challenge

This Monday i am going to do something a bit different than usual……I want to post something for the Weekly Photo Challenge about “Horizon’s”.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not by any means a “professional” photographer.  I wouldn’t even go so far as to say that it is my “hobby” but I certainly like taking photographs, especially on holidays.  This week’s photo challenge spoke to me because I particularity love taking photos of the horizon.  And as you will see below, where water and sky meet tends to be my favourite type of horizon.

This picture was taken at Victoria Beach Manitoba last summer.  I absolutely LOVE the sunset colours but even more, I love the outlines of the people on the pier.  The photograph was taken one evening in late August and it was very, very hot and humid…….the dog days of summer (sigh, I miss those)…….and I know that many of those people were on that pier getting ready to jump in…the best way to cool off!

And one more:

And to prove my “horizon” fixation, a little mood board (after all, it is Mood Board Monday!) to show a few more examples:

Happy Monday!

What’s On Your Walls The Sequel

Our new piece of art….a photograph of a graffitied wall in NYC. Amazing isn’t it? This piece was done by the British award winning photographer Barry Cawson. (www.barrycawson.com) He’s probably best known for “Tibetan Cowboy” which was featured on BBC2’s program “Show Me the Monet” This piece will go in our hallway…a perfect fit! I will try to show it “in situ” if I can get a good angled shot. (the above shot was taken in the art gallery where we bought the piece….in person it’s a much brighter frame and the colours are sharper and more vibrant than what shows up on this post!)
