L-A: Treasure hunt

First I thought: Treasure, how cool! Then I thought: Ah, not just any treasure. Then I thought: Oh, there are keywords! Then I thought: But there are so many! Just look at all these items that Tina lists: Challenge Items: Sunrise and/or sunset, Something cold and/or hot, a bird, a dog, a funny sign, a bicycle, […]

L-A: Narrow escape

For Niki de Saint Phalle, her art was an escape. Before she left, she left us the testimony of her life of narrow escapes, which culminated in her Tarot Garden right here in lower Tuscany. Today there won’t be many words. Niki’s Giardino dei tarocchi is full of narrow passages, entrances, pathways and peeks. Do […]

L-A: Future? Ojalá!

I could also say magari in Italian, since ojalá means about the same in Spanish, namely I wish! This was my Sunday and I can only wish to have more such days in the future. First, we need a song. This one is called Futura by Lucio Dalla and it starts “Who knows, who knows […]

L-A: Four capitals

Here are the only four capitals that I visited in my digital life since 2007, and a bouncy new tune by the old favourites. Viveka, who is guest-hosting Lens-Artists photo challenge for the first time, wishes to know what capital means to us. I shall stick to only one meaning of the word, especially because […]

L-A: Reddy or not

Oh, I like such challenges when one glance is enough and I’ve got thirty photos immediately reddy. Admittedly, I didn’t go out to snap these now but rather had a look at my archives – since Patti allows this too for her Lens-Artists photo challenge – and chose those that stood out the most or […]

Pic and a Word #216 & L-A: Leading stripes?

Today I combine two challenges, one on Leading lines and another on America. First the photos from here in Tuscany, and then a poem about them in America. For a change, let’s start with the gallery. This is a place around here which I pass daily in all seasons. This is where my mind goes […]

L-A: Windows with views

No matter that Amy says A window with a view for this week’s Lens-Artists photo challenge, I’m afraid the singular form won’t fool me into putting only one window in my post. But you knew that. Let’s hop right in, but maybe not through, since they are windows: first up are three personal windows from […]

L-A: Special shot spots

Leya asks for special spot shots for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge but I must always turn things around a little. Certainly it’s the spot that makes a shot but sometimes it’s also just a matter of weather and light. Below are some spots where my heart and camera gave a little dance. You who have been […]

L-A: Calendar 2018

Tell you what: how about two calendars for the price of one? Especially since there is no price at all, except your attention which might be the most priced possession you could give me, and I thank you for it. While real photographers are selling their 2020 calendars and normal bloggers are sharing their favourite […]

L-A: On display, in Italy

As promised, today is Italy’s turn to show off. This week’s Lens Artists theme is on display and this is my second post. I’m feeling generous (or rather unable to choose) so here are thirty images. Two days ago Slovenia was on display, and today I simply must make the second post for this week’s […]
