A Step at the Start of a Journey
The quote to inspire from Debbie at Travel with Intent
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”
– Lao Tzu
Sometimes that step can be daunting.
Whether you look up
to see what could lay ahead.
Spiraling upward
perhaps to touch the stars.
Or look down
into the depths of darkness.
Making sure each step
is taken with care.
But ultimately
that step can one of light
showing the way.
Always try to take that step,
even though
sometimes that step can be daunting.

Glass in Black and White
Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Glass
When I first saw this challenge, I wondered what glass should I have that would do well in black and white. After a while I discarded my original ideas when I found these photos.
Ghostly glass figures in an art installation in the Lismore Art Gallery
Some of the hundreds of glass spheres as part of lighting in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt in Seoul.

Shopping
The word prompt from Debbie at Travel with Intent: Shopping
As you may have guessed, I am unwell again with a stupid cold and not in the mood to do all those jobs I have to do outside. It has been a bushboy post avalanche.
Onto shopping. I am taking you shopping in Seoul, South Korea.
Down the narrow staircase we go
Now we are in the street where the colour and shops abound.
Some of the shops are multi story shops, while some are just on the pavement.
If you find a spot, plonk down and get your goods out for all to see.
Or head into the shops where there is something to tantalise.
After a while you might need a bite to eat.
And then back into the fray to find a bargain.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Flags or Banners
I wasn’t sure if I have any flags or banners but a bit of recollection pulled a few out of the folders. A varied lot. Lots of flags and banners just in here
Some colourful little flags
The clouds seems to fit nicely
The Lotus Lantern Festival banner in Seoul
Flags of the world in a market in Seoul
The flags on the structures at the No Coal Seam Gas protest in Bentley. A big win for people power

Tilted
The word prompt from Nancy Merrill: Tilted
“Have you ever tilted your camera on accident and then thought “Wow, that works!” If you have some time to work with your subject (or subjects), try some shots with your camera tiled from slightly to wildly and see what happens. It can add a unique twist to a commonplace image.” – Nancy
Well, I didn’t know which way to tilt trying to get this photo of a building in Seoul
