For challenge number 26 (in view of our recent slide into photographic inertia) we have agreed to offer our viewers (that’s you!) a fresh view of a familiar statue or monument, using photos taken at any time during the course of this 100-challenge marathon.
toni’s offering was actually achieved last November during a trip to a grey and foggy Paris; the trip elicited this email:
hello my chum! well paris did not deliver at all on horizon front - though did manage to shoot 'known landmark in interesting way', in that top two thirds of eiffeltower non-existent due to lack of visibility in blasted fog! had just the loveliest break…
jenny: love the blurry leaves in your mysteriously foggy Eiff** ***** photo; it has a picture postcard feel to it and could almost have been taken 50 years ago
jenny’s offering comes from a recent stopover in Barcelona; it hasn’t yet elicited anything by way of comment (largely because as I type I am still mulling over which alternative view of which particular ‘familia’ landmark to go with)
later…..(still mulling)
even later…..and I have rejected the (newly) familiar Sagrada Familia- in spite of its being swathed in translucent plastic and shored up with cranes and scaffolding - in favour of this…..
reflection of Barcelona’s quite splendid cathedral
toni: ahhhhh! love ju*taposition of organic bobbliness of ‘cathedral unfamilia’ contained by sleek upright verticals of window... swoon.
jenny: back to using your failing keyboard I see xxx
