This is another week where I’m not completely happy with the image I’ve ended up using. Sure, in this picture of Paris showing the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, there is “Shade.” But is a shadow and shade the same thing? Not quite.
Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “People.” I’m entry number 223.
I’ve photographed a few weddings before, but this one was different. The others have all been for friends. This one was for a friend of a friend, someone I’d never met before. In the end I don’t think that made any difference, but I was much more conscious that I mustn’t get in the way.
Apparently I’m “famous” for not taking pictures of people, which should have made this weeks PhotoFriday challenge especially tricky for me. However, in practice I decided on this image pretty quickly. It was taken in Lindos.
Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Sundown.” I’m number 160.
- Nearing the end of an era… – Some great images of Endeavour.
- Apple drops secrecy, confirms iOS 5, iCloud on tap at WWDC 2011 – Looks like it’s going to be an interesting WWDC…
This kind of feels wrong. Posting my PhotoFriday entry, this week for the theme “Sundown,” actually on a Friday is very much out of character for me. As an added bonus, I really like this image. It was taken in Kyoto, Japan last year.
Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Many” (quite by chance, it was also taken in Japan). I’m entry number 177.
The east coast of Rhodes has all the big name destinations, Faliraki and Lindos, but I figured that the west coast was worth a visit too.
The first thing that I passed (other than the airport which I wouldn’t be going to for another few days) was Pataloudes, better known as the Valley of the Butterflies. However, despite the name there were no butterflies.
Before I left for Rhodes, I’d read that the island has a pretty good public transport system and was very tempted to try to complete the week using only buses and coaches. The bus from the airport convinced me that just getting as far as Lindos (nearly 50km from Rhodes Town), much less seeing anything when I got there, could well take a considerable chunk of a day. It also looked as though there might be some other interesting things to see on the way — something that would be tricky to do on a bus — and so I decided to hire a car.

- When We Tested Nuclear Bombs – Amazing and scary images. I didn’t know that there had been so many tests — over a hundred in one year alone.
