Weekly Photo Challenges

weekly photo challenge: yellow

Posted on

Show us what “yellow” means to you.

These are the words from the folks at the Daily Post for this week’s photo challenge.

We could hardly pass up the opportunity to share our first ever rubber duck race in Burgos, Spain during our Camino. The river was dotted yellow except for sections where the ducks got a little caught up with one another.

That was the close up!

And now for the view down the river.

Enjoy the weekend and week ahead!

weekly photo challenge: twinkle

Posted on Updated on

This was a tricky theme but we think we found a picture that twinkled! Don’t look at the sun, look at the reflection off the water 🙂

We took this in Kusadasi, Turkey. We have used a photo of the same horizon when we first participated in the challenge.  Then an hour later from that photo, this happened.

One of the most incredible sunsets we’ve seen 🙂

Enjoy your weekend ahead!

We would love to hear your comments.

 

 

weekly photo challenge: gone but not forgotten

Posted on

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is dedicated to the first city in the world to experience a nuclear attack. 

As with all memorials, it serves as a reminder. Although all those lives are gone, they are not forgotten. The war is also gone, but will not be forgotten.

Towards the centre of the park is a monument that holds the names of all the people killed by the bomb.

The monument is aligned in such a way that when we look through the arch, we see the Peace Flame and theHiroshima Peace Memorial (i.e. Genbaku Dome or A-Bomb Dome).

The dome marks where the first atomic bomb exploded on the morning of August 6, 1945.  It is the skeleton of the actual building that was there that day. What we see is what remained and has been preserved.

weekly photo challenge: converge

Posted on

Today, we share a photo of an outdoor fish market on the island of Santa Cruz, one of the Galapagos Islands.

Where the pelicans converge for any fish that might be up for grabs.

How has everyone else interpreted converge? See here for more!
