Oh, normally the poll indicates which ones have received votes. These all look like zero votes so far. Never mind, I didn't realize one needed to vote first to see the other results.

Post by: Biggus Dickus on April 30, 2017, 08:10:33 PM
Congratulations Recusant very well done! I voted for both of these, and simply love your picture of the ruins, you took that from almost the perfect angle the way the arches diminish over the doorway in the background.

The art ware in the 2nd one reminds of a local artist here in Michigan, and we actually own a couple pieces, and I would share, but they are put away for the moment (Out of season, glass pumpkins with long, twirly stems and vines.

Anyway I liked all of the pictures, and would say this was one of the more interesting of the photo challenges here at HAF, good job picking out the challenge topic Tank, and well done to all who submitted pictures.

Post by: Dave on April 30, 2017, 08:32:35 PM
Yes, good one Recusant! Lots of old ruins round here of course - should have thought of those.

Loved the red rose as well, Tank.

Now, at last, Arturo's vibrant query about the sardines can be answered! Tut, no-one over there reading minor American literary classics? I will let the Wiki tell all . . .

QuoteCannery Row is a novel by American author John Steinbeck, published in 1945. It is set during the Great Depression in Monterey, California, on a street lined with sardine canneries that is known as Cannery Row. The story revolves around the people living there: Lee Chong, the local grocer; Doc, a marine biologist; and Mack, the leader of a group of derelicts.

The tombstones are, of course, "Death Row" and pictures of a couple having a shouting match (in the centre of town), in a line, are a "Row row".

Way too intellectual for me, esp. first thing in the morning.

Thank you for your work running this fine photo challenge, Tank.  :)

The arches are in the ruins of Abbaye Saint-Mathieu de Fine-Terre at Plougonvelin in Finistère, Brittany, France. My favorite kind of church!

The others--glasswork by Chihuly from the Bridge of Glass at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, and some of the thousands of menhirs at the Alignements de Carnac, in Brittany again.

Thank you as well to Father Bruno, Gloucester, Magdalena, and xSilverPhinx, as well as everybody who contributed and voted.  :boaterhat:

Now to come up with a theme for the next photo challenge. I'm open to suggestions.  :D

What about a colour theme e.g. red or blue etc.
Curves?
Angles?
Edible?
Transparent?
Fits in a matchbox?
Soft?
Hard?
Metal?
Plastic?
People?
Holidays?

I took that on my recent trip to Honduras, it's a light fixture/chandeler made out of natural shells/husks...it was at the dining hall at the Indura Resort.

My second guess was some kind of lighting fixture, but I just couldn't tell.
