sunset

A beautiful sunset after heavy rains earlier this month. The small stripe in the middle is the Mediterranean Sea, the lake up front is due to the rain.  Linking to   PhotoHunt  ~  weekend reflections.

candle

I had no candle for today's photohunt and had a busy Saturday morning. But I came home to a nice luncheon prepared by my husband, who surprised me with this centerpiece to lighten up this gray, rainy day. Right on time for PhotoHunt !

And I even found a little reflection for weekend reflections.

feather

    An unexpected guest, some time ago. Love the colorful feathers. Posted for  the Saturday PhotoHunt after several weeks of absence...  Happy weekend!... 

photohunt: lacy

Nothing like rococo lace, featuring the Electoral Palace of Trier in Germany (some vacations ago), considered one of the loveliest rococo  palaces in the world. Today, the Electoral Palace is the seat of the District Supervisory Authorities. Originally posted here. And stretching it in order to post for  the Saturday PhotoHunt  after several weeks.

children get the scoop

 Saturday's Photo Hunting and The Saturday PhotoHunt

This post won't bring you the scoop on children nowadays but you can be sure two grown-up children enjoyed more than one scoop of ice cream during a past holiday...

advertising ~zap

 Saturday's Photo Hunting and The Saturday PhotoHunt

Old bodega in Valencia, Spain, with liquor advertising in the back. And since water may zap brain power according to the news (click here) , I opted for chilled bubbles instead. Cheers and happy weekend.

The entrance to a sturdy home, as found one summer at the French Alps. And I guess one of the last pictures friendly edited online by picnik, so sorry to see them closing the site...

awesome and yellow

A re-run but  it is awesome and yellow,  I still don't know the name of this flower...

Happy Easter everyone! it's a huge egg, but couldn't resize it for the post, bear with me, it's a fun collage place.  You can hover the mouse over the "egg" and you can see the individual pictures from this blog.

fresh ~ artificial

  Saturday's Photo Hunting ~  The Saturday PhotoHunt

A  fun group of skiers. They enjoy fresh snow but sometimes weather conditions call for artificial one for the slopes. At any rate, my ski season is over now so I don't have to worry about that. At least for several months!

hunting: loud, relaxation, and old

Cuban musicians playing loud - for The Saturday Photohunt - and delightful music at the entrance of a metro station in Santiago, Chile. It was a moment of relaxation  in the busy city,  for the sake of the Friday Foto Hunters. The guitar player wore his old jeans,  specially for  Saturday's Photo Hunting. This picture was taken at midday in summertime last month. Little did I know it could be used to combine all three picture huntings...

PhotoHunt: ripped

There is something wrong with this picture from my archives. Maybe you can guess what it is, if you are not ripped, that is...!  I know, I know, but I couldn't do any better for this week's PhotoHunt. Cheers! FB Group

Update: keep the hunting up by signing here with your picture for the "ripped" theme, meet Gattina's Saturday's Photo Hunting!

phot hunt: light

Light bulbs found in a department store in Paris. More pictures of this beautiful place can be found here.  I kept looking up at the wonderful dome and decorations, all other goodies were not as appealing!   The store's unique Belle Epoque architecture, which features a dramatic colored glass dome and an ornate Art Nouveau staircase offering dizzying perspectives, contributed to the department store being named a Paris city heritage site.

For PhotoHunt.  Below, the unique dome.

Photo Hunt: broken

This 12 meters/39 ft high wood sculpture by the Swiss artist Daniel Berset represents a giant chair with a broken leg and stands on the Place des Nations, in Geneva. It symbolizes opposition to land mines and cluster bombs, and acts as a reminder to politicians and others visiting Geneva. I have posted other pictures of this broken chair here already, bear with me, it's all because of the message.

Photo Hunt: high

A panoramic view of the the Plaça d'Espanya  from the 27m/ 88.6 ft high rooftop terrace of a new shopping mall in Barcelona, which was once a bullfighting ring and it is pictured in the prior post.

The tall Venetian Towers mark the road that leads to the Magic Fountain and to the National Palace of Montjuic, which can be seen in the back.This palace was constructed in 1929 in order to house the installations for the International Exhibition of that year in Montjuic, and to display a selection of Spanish art. Along with other buildings from the same exhibition it should have been knocked down when the exhibitión ended, but it was preserved and it nowadays houses the Catalonia Art Museum. Aditionally, the Barcelona Fair buildings can be found on both sides of the Venetian Towers.
