This weeks PhotoFriday theme is “From My Past.” I guess this image shows something from all of our pasts, except perhaps the glasses. I saw this in the Natural History Museum in Vienna and it amused me.

My entry for this weeks PhotoFriday, “Vehicle,” was partly inspired by a conversation last weekend about the highlights of Norway. This is the train — vehicle — that takes you on the Flåm railway, twisting and turning down the side of Sognefjord from the top to the water front.

Finding three of something for this weeks PhotoFriday, “Three,” was harder than I was expecting. In the end, the answer was staring me in the face.

It may look like a hacked Rubiks cube but actually it’s designed this way. B brought it back from her recent trip to Tokyo. This three-by-one puzzle is, I think, much simpler than the real thing. Though this could also just be an older me. The last time I solved a real cube I just took the stickers off…

I confess that I was very tempted to roll out one of my old favourite autumnal pictures but in the end I actually went out with my camera and took the above image. This was literally taken just outside my flat. The golden light and the yellowing leaves say “Autumn 2009” to me. Obviously for the true British Autumn we’d also need some rain.

The obvious part of this weeks PhotoFriday theme, “…Is In The Details,” is details. It calls for something close-up, imperfections and all. But there’s a missing part, typically “the devil,” so I thought it was appropriate that the above picture is a close-up of some tiles on a church in Spain. Hopefully that means that no dæmons are present.

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Dawn.” I’m entry number 74.

As anyone who knows me can attest, “Dawn” is not a time that you’re likely to see me awake, much less running around with a camera. That made this weeks PhotoFriday a bit of a challenge.

In the end I picked this shot from the top of Mount Sinai. It perhaps represents “sunrise” better than “dawn” but it was certainly taken at dawn!

When I think of “Fast Food” — this weeks PhotoFriday theme — I think of burgers and pizzas and, generally, stuff that I don’t cook myself! The ultimate in fast food is a dish that takes none of my time! This steak sandwich was photographed and consumed at the Royal Exchange in San Francisco.

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “The Face.” I’m entry number 300.

I’m not sure how well this image fits the theme of “The Face.” It’s certainly a face, but the face? Still, it’s one of my better early portraits that was not of my family.

He looked after a temple in Tibet. We were expected to tip him on the way out and I didn’t have any change so I ended up having to give a reasonably large denomination note. I decided to get value for money by taking a few pictures.

I did hesitate to use this image of a tea leaf for this weeks PhotoFriday theme, “Plants.” Surprisingly, this is the single most popular picture on ZX81 (according to Google at least) and I have also used it on a previous PhotoFriday. Then again, I thought, it does fit the theme…

If I’d gone with my first instinct, this weeks PhotoFriday theme, “Fear,” would have been incredibly easy. Many people fear snakes, but one person in particular has had a bad week and I didn’t want to make it any worse. Also, I’ve use that picture before (“Dangerous“).

Instead find the above picture of a woman in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. She looks trapped, fearful. She may be very happy for all I know, but for the purposes of this challenge she is in fear.
