Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge: Character

I was on holiday for a few days in Split, Croatia. The hotel I was in was something from the 1940’s. It was so lovely in the sometimes chaos, the iron doors to open on the elevator and hopefully end up somewhere. I always took the stairs but nothing ever happened that wasn’t easily fixed to the elevator. The room was small but adequate.

The next morning at breakfast on of the other guests said it seemed incongruous to look outside and see modern cars and motorbikes when you could imagine that we tied up our donkeys last night out the front. Breakfast was a fine buffet and a waiter came around with a trolley dispensing tea or coffee. I was reprimanded for trying to serve myself from his trolley gently but firmly.

After walking about Split most of the day, I was headed back to my room when I passed the dining room set up for tomorrows breakfast. Did I capture the rooms character?

Paula’s words this month are quite varied giving you a chance to show different styles, parts of the world or around your place. That’s why I love this photo challenge so much.

TRIBUTE

WADING

TOWNSCAPE

HARBOUR

BOKEH

How did I go this month. I know I have other photos that I prefer it’s just my present computer predicament that has me befuddled. If I get it sorted I might even have another go just for fun. Isn’t that what photo challenges should be?

Friendly Friday Challenge: Leading Lines
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #198: Light and Shadow

Why put both challenges together? I found a lot of my photos have both elements. Some of these may be placed into one or the other but some a well into both challenges.

I think I will go with a theme within the challenge themes. I haven’t mentioned leading lines in the descriptions but I am sure you will pick those photos among the light and shadow ones.

Starting with sunsets which make great light and shadows

Staying with artificial light play and shadows

and just some sunlight used in different ways. For indoors

and outside
