A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

I had to vote for week 4, I feel that the crop really focuses in on a subject. Is it just me or does anyone else see a duck in the driftwood? I also like the oranges and greens you’ve color selected, nice job.
Oh thank you for that insightful comment. I definitely see some kind of feathered creature in the wood, be that bird or duck. Interestingly, I saw this same piece of driftwood placed into a beach sculpture a month or so later nearby. No duck, though.
I love what you did in week 4 with the different crop it works really well and gives an abstract feel to the image, but I prefer week 3a with the wider view of the driftwood. Looking forward to what you do next year.
Thanks so much for the comment, Lee. I agree the crop gives off a different vibe, but this is different from the complete view. Best wishes for the festive season.
Hi Amanda – finally made it 😃
One thing I really enjoy about this challenge is the wonderful variety we are ‘finding’.. and I do like the variety you have created in your image with the different versions.
The crop really changes it up and yes I see a feathered something 😃
If I had to choose a fave, I think Id vote for 3a.
Happy New Year Amanda!!
