Look up look down @ the museum

I’ve created a button for everyone joining in with this weekly photo project

– you can grab the code on my bar on the left – so lovely to see what everyone is seeing when they look up and down with their camera

I took my photos on a trip to the museum.  I love looking at the structure of the main foyer, as well as the exhibits.  I took the photos on the 1st floor.

Several comments mentioned the arrow frames, so I’m using them again.  I created them using a digital ‘brush’ from Ali Edwards ‘This Way 3x4 journal cards’ brush set.

If you don’t know where you are going

Browsing quotes about journeys (as you do), I found three different endings to the proposition that you don’t know where you are going

seems to be a version to fit all levels of optimism and any situation.  In my general Pollyanna style I tend towards the last one but can see that the other two are also valid.  Which speaks to you?

{the quotes are from Yogi Berra, Steve Maraboli, and Lewis Carroll}

playing with hardware

Hardware is Bonnie’s suggested theme for PhotoArt Friday this week, so at the weekend I kept my eyes open for likely subjects.  I had in mind chunky, rusty iron and just before I reached the cafe I spotted some rusting bolts and pieces on a pole.

Home again I started to play with artistic filters and textures to emphasise the hardness of the pieces.

Then I decided it would be fun to go the opposite route and combine the hard metal with some soft and fluid actions

As always I had a lot of fun playing and am pleased with both pieces.  Looking forward to see what others have done.

Look up, look down–week 3

Lovely to see other join in with the look up, look down and fun to see the similarities and differences.

All our snow has melted but still overcast.  I managed to capture some geese in flight for my ‘up’ .  And for my ‘down’ I made use of the puddles for some lovely reflection.

Looking up may well be a good idea this week as it is reportedly the most depressing week of the year in the Northern hemisphere.  If smiling can increase feelings of happiness, perhaps looking up also raises the spirits – worth a try.
