Graffiti, Lille

We pass graffiti every day without a second thought. A lot is just territorial or gossip, but some is quite artistic. Just because it’s ordinary and every day doesn’t mean it’s not worth photographing! This was taken in Lille, France.

Old Fashioned

An old American car, Trinidad, Cuba

This weeks PhotoFriday is “Old Fashioned.” Here is my entry. You really can’t beat Cuba for that retro, old fashioned look, and here is a great example of a 1950’s American car, still apparently in use and in great condition.

Rough

Muir Woods

This broken branch from a tree in Muir Woods, California looks pretty Rough to me, hence I’m using as this weeks PhotoFriday challenge.

Beauty

Sunrise over Mount Sinai, Egypt

We climbed Mount Sinai at night, our torches illuminating just a few metres around us and the vastness of the surrounding landscape shrouded in darkness. Just after six in the morning the sun started to rise allowing us to see the Beauty of the area. “Beauty,” of course, is this weeks PhotoFriday theme.

A Lot of Bottle

On our recent trip to Tuscany, B bought a cheap local bottle of wine not because of the wine itself — we’ve not dared taste it yet — but because the bottle was pretty. It’s been sat on the dining room table since then, gathering dust.

Last weekend I decided to take a few pictures of it. It’s not my normal kind of photography but the results were fairly respectable I think.

Wine Bottle

Neither shot is as sharp as I would have liked. I am not sure whether this is my camera technique, softness of the lens or poor focusing. I liked this view because the fuzziness, if anything, enhanced it.

Wine Bottle

Both were taken on my Canon EOS300D with my very much under-used Sigma 70-300mm. The camera was resting on the table and I used the self-timer to help reduce shake. The white back-ground is actually my living room window.
