WPC : All-Time Favourites

How does one choose “All-time favourites”? Is it the quality of the photo, or the memory it evokes? There are inevitably sunsets, at home and abroad, or the amazing ‘golden light’, just ahead of sunset, when it catches the gum trees. There is the lonely fisherman, in the early morning, on the Vltava River in the middle of Prague, contrasted to the illuminated splendour of the Parliament in Budapest. Here are some favourites, from the last four years

There’s a bird in there!

The final  episode of Weekly Photo Challenge – their decision, not mine!

Weekly Photo Challenge : Blur (II)

I couldn’t resist offering a second entry in this challenge, when I thought about photos that might not otherwise be shared. Both offer natural blur caused by movement. In one, a man walks into view as an attempt is made to take a snapshot through the open door of a train. In the second, the movement is as a train is departing the station.

This is my second response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Blur.”
