Sometimes the answer is right in front of us.
All day*, trying to think of another double photo.
And (t)here, on the wall, at work.
Ping(back)! I found it.
Good night fellow #photo101 classmates!
* Whilst working very hard, obviously.

photography101: (another) edge
Something about Christmas preparations sets my nerves on edge.
Trees ripped from the forest.
Forced jollity.
Pretence.
Poverty amid abundance.
So, with apologies for the downbeat tone.
An edgy angle on Christmas preparations in Grote Markt, Brussel.

photography101: treasure
transitory treasure
Treasure is transitory, illusory.
One person’s treasure is another person’s junk.
What was once treasured now gathers dust on the shelf, in the attic, basement, on the table at the flea market.
The real treasure is what we hold inside us.
The feelings we have, for people, places, times.
The memories and hopes that can never turn to dust.
Treasure.
(Canal side flea market, Brugge)

photography101: weekend three three
Sometimes things just happen.
This is a very rough and ready clip.
These people appeared in the street and came straight at me.
So I lifted my camera and just fired away as they walked around me.
I just had to share!

“And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn’t know the market place of any single thing.”
– Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere’s Fan
Not really sure about these.
Woke at four am with an idea.
Why not take a shot of a coin with the EU Parliament building in the background?
Not that hard to try, as the EU Parliament is right outside the window.
The scariest part of this (apart from the fact that I am dreaming of posts for #photo101)?
What if that euro coin fell off and landed on some poor soul’s head from the ninth floor?
If that had happened, I wouldn’t be writing this.
Penny euro for your thoughts?

angular
This trip was supposed to be to the top of Parking 58 which offers the best views across the rooftops of Brussel.
A locked gate bent me out of shape – angular
So, I grabbed this shot, and wondered if I would ever use it.
And, now, I have.
My contribution to this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge from The Daily Post at WordPress.

– Hesse

Trees snatched through the window of a speeding car.
Morning light.
Full of possibility.
