This week’s photo challenge asks us to play with scale to highlight size. In this photo taken in Sorrento, Italy, the contrast between the huge cruise liner and the two small boats around it caught my eye immediately.
And this next photo, also taken in Sorrento, illustrates how everything else is dwarfed by the always dauntingly present Mount Vesuvius…
Local Artist (and # Three)
There are three finished pictures, three people in the shot (two as shadows), and the number three painted on the wall…
They are every photographer’s nightmare (too tall to include in the shots, too many to be avoided). Their fronds are potentially dangerous (they can hurt people and animals, and damage cars when they fall). Some would like them gone forever, others want to keep and protect them. Love them or hate them, nothing is more L.A. than palm trees. I love them. They warm my heart…
The February full moon — also known as the “Snow Moon” — was shining alongside the planet Jupiter in the east-northeast sky tonight. I decided to photograph the event but got so caught up in getting the moon right, I forgot to get a decent shot of the two together! I only realized that some two hours later, as I uploaded my photos. I rushed outside to correct the mistake, only to find the sky covered by dense fog and no sign of the shining pair. But I hear they’ll shine together again on March 2, so I hope to catch them then…
White Camelias
She sang the saddest song, with all her heart. I couldn’t understand the words, but something tells me it was about a lost love or a faraway place…

Depth is this week’s photo challenge. Here is my take on it.
View from inside a prison cell at the Palazzo Ducale, in Venice, Italy.
Gondola ornament. Venice, Italy.
A rainy afternoon spoiled my photography plans and led me to some abstract shots. These two involved raindrops, the hood of a car, trees, the sky, and a little post production.

Jy is wat jy dink - nie wat jy dink jy is nie. Dit help soms om hardop te lag vir wat jy dink of dink jy is.
