Challenge Your Camera #12: Elemental

“Today, another guest theme from Marie at Hops Skips and Jumps, a challenge with some choices. Marie’s theme Elemental is based on the 4 classical elements from Ancient Greece in which it was believed that the universe was made up of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

So, make your choice, choose one element and post any number of photos, or decide on all elements and post one photo of each. Try to be creative with your camera, close up or distant, creative with the image the element alone or combined with other elements.”

Add Summer to a bit of Winter

Debbie’s quotation inspired image

It is difficult when the Northern hemisphere is experiencing Winter while I am here on a 35C day staying inside keeping cool. I don’t really have a Winter either so I don’t really have any wintery photos but I do have a bit of Summer to make good use of the first part of Debbies quote

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”  – John Steinbeck
