Weekly Challenge: Landscape …

Posted on April 1, 2016 by mvobsession | Comments Off

For this week’s challenge, share a photo of a landscape: a wide establishing shot of a scene in nature or an urban setting. Landscape photography is typically displayed in a horizontal orientation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have 3 choices for landscape.

A snippet of landscape through the door of a Martha’s Vineyard lighthouse…

The Hudson river flowing east to NYC… taken from Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, NY

A picture of Milford, Pennsylvania taken from High Point Monument in New Jersey… you can see three states from the monument, the highest point in NJ.

Weekly Challenge: Connected…

Posted on September 4, 2015 by mvobsession | Comments Off

This week, show us how two (or more) things — people, objects, places — come together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two paintings connected by knitting.

The Dingmans Ferry Bridge connecting NJ and PA.

Nubble Lighthouse, Cape Neddick, York, Maine

Except for boat the only way this island is connected to the mainland is by this bucket/gondola on a cable of some sort … something you’d ever get me in :)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forces Of Nature …

Posted on May 8, 2015 by mvobsession | Comments Off

The challenge this week is: This week, share a force of nature from your corner of the world. It can be something as large as the Grand Canyon, or as small as the tiny seedling steadily breaking is way through the concrete in your driveway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can’t actually see the forces of nature at work in these pictures of the Gay Head Lighthouse on the island of Martha’s Vineyard… but it’s because of the erosion of the cliffs that the lighthouse is now being moved. It stands perilously close to the edge, a mere 46 feet from the edge. The move has already begun and the lighthouse is expected to soon be in its new location. For anyone interested, the website is Save The Gay Head Lighthouse… CLICK HERE for link.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall …

Posted on March 13, 2015 by mvobsession | Comments Off

Weekly prompt: From the interior walls of our home, to our book club’s Facebook wall, to the community bulletin board at the local market, walls are the canvases of our lives: where stories are read, voices are heard, ideas are shared. Much can be revealed from the items on a wall, from old postcards to long-forgotten flyers.

This week, consider the walls you’ve erected and decorated, the halls you walk down each day, or the exteriors you’ve ignored or neglected. What do these walls reveal about a place, people, or you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven’t decorated, erected or painted any of these walls but each one has intrigued me enough to take a picture.
