How about a word/photo challenge?  Here's how it works, I'll post several random pages from a dictionary, and participants claim a page, (first come first choice).  Post what page and word you want, any word on the page and photograph it as you would for an illustration for the word in a dictionary.  Simple?  Just choose a page and word, post your choice and I'll remove that page from the original post and wait for your photo and definition.  Be creative, humorous, straight, what-ever, be you.

You have some great looking fire-escapes in Sweden, Peter!  Well done!


N-S, not quite.  Good work, but it's supposed to be a random word from a page in the original post.

Great scene bluzman!  Looks like something out of the 60's or 70's!  Got your VW bus? 

 

N-S, great work on the castle, love the colors.

Thanks.

 

Interesting comment. Based on a non-scientific count of people with long gray hair, often braided, and attired in tie-dyed clothing, it seems that NorCal and some parts of Pacific Northwest coast have a significant number of refugees from the 60s. :)

I never had a bus myself, but I did have a bug!  Some friends had bus's back then, and an aunt and uncle had a VW camper bus!  Now, I would love to have an old VW camper bus!..a red and white one like they had.
