WPC: Favourites

This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is to showcase our favourite photographs from 2017. This is my selection and you can check out other’s contributions here.

WPC: Glow

I love trains. After attending our niece’s wedding in Christchurch we hopped on board the Coastal Pacific train that hugged the rugged east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The journey takes five hours and used to run daily. Bush-clad mountains and vineyards on one side, the roaring sea on the other. …

WPC: Elemental

For this week’s challenge, explore the classical elements of earth, air, water, and fire. How do you capture something invisible like air, or the movement of water? Or, more personally, is there a place you go to feel connected to the earth? Take a moment to explore these elements, in or out of balance, together…

Satisfaction: Photo Challenge

We have power and we have an internet connection and we are web-bingeing and it feels so so good. After a few weeks’ absence from the weekly photo this is my contribution to the prompt Satisfaction put out by Jen from WordPress who says: This week, share a photo of something that brings you satisfaction.

Collage

This week’s photo challenge is Collage for which I chose to collage some of the arches that are held in my digital library of photos.

As many experienced photographers will tell you, the sharpness of the lens or camera you use isn’t always that important. Sometimes, what matters more is the style and composition of the…

Order

What was the natural order? “In philosophy, the natural order is the moral source from which natural law seeks to derive its authority. Natural order encompasses the natural relations of beings to one another, in the absence of law, which natural law attempts to reinforce.” (Source) … I couldn’t agree more … which is why…

Friends

In difficult times the importance of social networks can make the difference between succumbing to depression or pulling through relatively unscathed by the process. As retirement looms I am aware of our social support system: friendships, community resources and activities in which we participate. The MOTH has recently joined the local Men’s Shed and seems…

Heritage

This week’s photo challenge entitled heritage and these are taken from my stash on Google drive. The challenge gives me an opportunity to trawl through the digital albums regularly to remember our visit. I have provided a snippet of information about the buildings, clock tower and bridge for interest. The old gas and cole company sits…
