2013 CM Blog Circle September – Humanising a non human {Personal}

2013 CM Blog circle

So September’s theme for the Clickin Moms Blog Circle was “humanising a a non-human” – making objects feel and look human.  It’s just a very short one from me this month as it’s been crazy hectic around here, and I am busy working on lots of photos that I can’t wait to share with you very soon.

This one was taken during the ClickinWalk last weekend that I took in Amsterdam with a great bunch of ladies – I’m thrilled with the images I captured and can’t wait to share them here very soon.  This one I liked best to fit this month’s theme. It was taken from a billboard at the EYE Film Institute Netherlands and I liked the way the shadow of the lion mirrored that of the human.

Follow the circle round to see the rest of the group’s talent starting with Dawne!

    This is really outstanding! I love the parallel here, the strength of the lion as the slave is calling for abolition and will need such strength to realize it; as an early American History teacher this reflects so much (despite capturing it in Amsterdam} Great job, this is cool..I may want to use this imagery with my students if you don’t mind! 🙂

A weekend in Lisboa, Portugal I Travel Photography

We have been to Portugal many times as a family since having children, but always to the Algarve.  We see a little of the beautiful beaches and scenery, and sample some of the local delicacies, but I must admit it is mostly a relax-by-the-pool type of break.  Nothing...
