Here you will often find my thoughts of the day, with the occasional vent - but first and foremost this is where I can share my passion for stitching.

Photo Hunt - Lights (& Round)


Grab the Scavenger Hunt code.
Photo Theme. Join the blogroll.


This week's theme was a definite challenge for me while hunting through my minimal photo library (oh boy, I miss my huge pile of photos back in Auckland) ... but I managed to find something that would fit the theme of "Lights".

This photo is of a row of street lights illuminating the way down St Kilda Pier in Melbourne (well, they would be illuminating the way if it was dark LOL).



Next up are some lights illuminating the room at the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong (and a very difficult shot for me to get trying to reach up behind the barrier, and around a stone 'dragon', as well as missing the guard on duty ;) Under the circumstances, it came out OK :)



Lucky last, here's an archival theme - this one is "Round" ... I had a few choices to use, but opted to do use this one - definitely not a great photographic shot, but I like it for the 'round theme'. Any LOTR fans will recognise this character - chasing the ring over the rooftop of Wellington Airport in New Zealand! :D

Clever take on today's theme! Love the Hong Kong temple's pic, such pics are very hard to get both technically and strategically, lol!

Oh, and love your last pic, have to show it to my son. Happy saturday in AUS!

All of your "light" pictures are really nice! I bet that pier is very pretty at night! And that bottom pic at the airport is FUNNY! ;)

That last photo is a bit scary... people still flew out of that airport? ;) I bet those lights on the pier were lovely at night.

I love you pictures for the theme of Lights. They are perfect. The first one reminds me of a pier in the Northern part of Michigan. Wonderful contribution.

Thanks for visiting.

Love the light photos - especially the pier one. It's nice and different :)

I have a Gollum shot like that too! We were in Wellington for the premier of Return of the King. Were you there too or was he up there for a while?
