Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Alleys

This photo challenge is alternately hosted each Friday by the bloggers:
Something to Ponder About  and The Snow Melts Somewhere

The prompt for this Friday is:

Alleys

Everyone is welcome to join in with the Friendly Friday Photography challenge.

Here are some alleys in the lakes district of Italy.

• 

  Mussolini’s Mezzegra

• 

  Italy

Alleys are found not just in the old world. The ‘New’ world has its alleyways too.

Melbourne’s streets was created in a grid like pattern of both wide streets and narrow alleys, as the authorities couldn’t agree on the sort of town plan they initially wanted, for the city: whether to make it more European like, or with modern wider streets, so they hedged their bets and incorporated both.

• 

  Guerilla Territory in Melbourne

• 

  Striking Contrasts in this Alley

In Sweden, we have some unique alleys to showcase to visitors.

Both on the West coast and in Stockholm.

• 

  A natural form of alley

• 

  Just like old times in Gamla Stan

I chuckle to think how Manja Mexi would caption this photo?

Travel Theme – Frame

In response to Ailsa’s Travel theme – Frame I try to look for a natural frame –

Australia

or, Something man made that will assist to frame the photograph

Or something artificial…

Italy

     and finally, another frame: ( pardon the corny pun/Dad joke!)

and a frame I hope to never have……

Something to Ponder About

Travel theme: Outdoors

Come with me  on a little walk – Outdoors

Lake Como – Italy

 

The dog loves walking on the beach outdoors…

You never know what you’ll find outdoors; like this “Thong Tree” (Australian thong)

Outdoors can help one see things a little differently….

Compare notes and opinions with a few friends – outdoors….

Norway

Take a trip somewhere new with a view – outdoors….

Bergen Norway

or a bit closer to home – Nudgee at Sunset

Travel theme from Where’s My Backpack – theme: Outdoors

 Something to Ponder About

 

Photo101 – Warmth and the Quality of Light

Warmth – Tick

Quality of light – TickThis ticks the boxes for today’s Photo101 challenge

Somewhere warm and with a quality of light to ponder about

Phoneography and Non SLR Device Photo Challenge – Macro

When in Milan, do as the Milanese do… Eat gelati!

Lens

With a Nexus 4 – no filter

Lens and Pens Phoneography Challenge – Macro theme

and this week I also have a pens section, though just for fun….

 

Summer Holiday in Milan

It was the first thing I did

The milky mass slid

oozing between my fingers.

Sticky,

sweet,

cold

– on my tongue.

Surely one is okay;

Part of the fun?

To hell with the scales

and my dieting fail.

Heat is enemy,  to gelati and man?

Sun worshippers think it means a deep tan.

In the heat and humidity, I’ll always complain.

Yet, searching all winter, “Is it spring?” a refrain.

The north shovel the ‘white stuff’ and wish winter gone,

Whilst my lament is no more gelati, now that I’ve flown home…

😦
