Abandoned Building Near Rail Station


Here is a photo that I shot near the rail station of Lübeck. The original photo bored me and I wondered what I could do to improve the photo.

I must say, I am generally a fan of black and white photos, but I think … Continue reading Abandoned Building Near Rail Station

Scratch The Ears


Here is a funny photo that I shot some time ago when I noticed that my cat Shyna did scratch her ears. Cats always look funny when they groom themselves.

I am subscribed and was wondering why there were no more posts on Friday and didn’t realize that some of their Wednesday emails were about the challenges now. Today they came up with the motto “Surprise” and I want to contribute with one photo that I shot last summer in our garden. My mother played with one of her chickens and it looks like she would surprise the chicken with a gift. Excuse me the bad stylized editing, but the photo … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise
