I’m not sure whether a “Crimson” sunset is too obvious an interpretation of the theme, but I couldn’t find a better image so you’re stuck with this one(!).

It was taken in Malta, just outside where I was staying in St Julians. The picture was taken on… gasp… actual film.

I know this picture isn’t going to win any prizes, but it’s literally true that it’s a view “From my window,” which is this weeks PhotoFriday theme. Instead it’s one of a series of shots I called “Asshole who park across my driveway” that I created last year when I was working from home a lot. Because we have our own space and don’t often have a car parked in it, people assume that they can just use the space in front. Really annoying those times where we do have a car to park…

“Rain” is a good PhotoFriday theme for someone, like myself, who lives in the UK. I could have taken a picture on pretty much any day, but this way taken in August last year. Um, actually, in Ireland rather than at home…

There’s no need to panic and rush to vote for my entry in last weeks challenge since I didn’t enter.

This weeks PhotoFriday theme is “Inner City,” the meaning of which varies depending on where you are. In the UK and some other places it often refers to a slightly run-down, residential part of a a city, which is the meaning I’ve gone for with this shot, taken the Czech Republic.

I didn’t post an entry to last weeks challenge so there’s no pressure to vote for me this time!

This weeks PhotoFriday theme is “Handsome.” My entry is, perhaps, a little cheesy but I’m going for it anyway. It’s a picture of my son, who is two months old today.

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Tall.” I’m entry number 154.

One thing that distinguishes New York from other large cities is how high it is. Even the small buildings have a dozen floors; they’d be considered quite large even in London. So I thought that a picture from New York, here of the Chrysler Building, would fit the bill for this weeks PhotoFriday theme, “Tall.”

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Greenery.” I’m entry number 157.

This weeks PhotoFriday is “Greenery.” Maybe it’s too obvious, but my first thoughts were about green, verdant forests with bubbling streams and soft light. I have a few of those in my library but in the end went with this one taken in Kamikochi, Japan.

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Pristine.” I’m entry number 132.

This weeks PhotoFriday theme, “Pristine,” is a word that I always associate with clean, white, untouched snow. I’ve only ever been skiing once and, since I spent most of my time falling down, I didn’t have my camera with me very much. So instead, I have the above image, taken near Lake Tahoe. The snow, despite it being July, is still pretty much untouched.

According to the tags in Flickr I have already used this picture for a PhotoFriday previously. Unfortunately I can’t think of a better one for this weeks theme, “Cloudy,” so you’re stuck with a repeat, I’m afraid.

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Days End.” I’m entry number 159.

What better way to celebrate the end of a hard day than a relaxing glass of beer? Well, that’s what I think anyway, and so it was the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw this weeks PhotoFriday theme, “Day’s End.”

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Best of 2011.” I’m entry number 121.
