It’s been a while since I’ve entered the PhotoFriday challenge, but I liked this weeks theme — “Body of Water” — and thought I had a good image for it. This was taken a couple of years ago in Lake Tahoe, California.

This weeks PhotoFriday theme is “Temperature.” I thought this image from my recent trip to Barcelona fit the bill.

This weeks PhotoFriday theme is “Distance.” They said that Junior was independent at the nursery. They weren’t joking. He was half way across the park before we could catch him…

I stumbled across a weekly photo competition on Flickr called FlickrFriday and thought I would enter that this week instead of PhotoFriday.

This weeks theme is “Keep it simple” and, as any British person will tell you, that means meerkats.

But please still consider voting for my entry in last weeks PhotoFriday, “Neglected.” I’m entry number 123.

This weeks PhotoFriday challenge is “Neglected,” which is quite appropriate since I’ve neglected to enter the challenge for quite some time now.

My entry was taken in Amsterdam.

This weeks PhotoFriday theme is “Pattern” and here is my entry, taken in the new Oslo Opera House last year. Can’t say I’m a big fan of opera, but the building was amazing!

Is wasn’t really my idea. I saw it in the newsagents in Rhodes Town and laughed but I never really thought of actually buying it. The credit for that goes to my wife.

I’ve been posting pictures of each month entry on Twitter and Facebook but I thought it would be nice to group them all together in one post. That’s what you’ll find here.

“Glory to God, I’m an atheist.”

“What should I say now?”

“So that we don’t forget…”

“This is the life for me!”

“I’m feeling very romantic.”

“I took grandma skiing as well!”

“Shut up and move on!”

“For a bale of hay…”

“Anything for tourism.”

“We said tourism, but not like this!”

“Come again next year!”

“For a better tomorrow, we’ll talk the day after.”

I’m afraid that there’s no way that we can complete with this in 2013 so we’re not even going to try. I apologise in advance for your  disappointment. 

This weeks PhotoFriday theme is “Constructed.” Unfortunately, while this picture may look appropriate I should probably tell you that I’m cheating. This image is, in fact, of the demolition, the deconstruction, of a car park near where I live.

It’s dark when I get up in the morning and it’s dark when I leave work in the evening. I’m not a huge fan of this time of year… But, it did mean that I was in central London yesterday for a lovely sunset. Sunset, of course, being the traditional segue into “Evening,” which is this weeks PhotoFriday theme.

Oslo’s new Opera House is bright and “Vibrant” — this weeks PhotoFriday theme — literally to the point that it hurts your eyes when the sun is out. (Fortunately this doesn’t happen very often in Norway!)
