Blog EntryPicture Perfect theme this week is ~ Magical ~Apr 30, '08 2:17 PM
for everyone

Welcome to

Picture Perfect

~ Each week a theme will be posted up on Thursday, and you are invited to put up your best picture with that theme in mind, it should be just

 ONE and ORIGINAL,

 i.e not off the internet,

Then come back and post a comment on this page
so that everyone can link to your blog and see your pic.

By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in anyway! Out of the box thinking is encouraged!!

Please open your page for viewing for all for that day...and then visit as many others as you can! Try and post a decent size pic on your blog page, so much is lost if the pic is too small or too big.

The entries will close at midnight on Friday

oOo

 

The theme this week will be

 'Magical'

Your host for the week is ~ Tint ~

Magical mists

Memories gathered
through the mists of time
of laughter shared
and special moments
~ Magical ~

This photo is of a holiday cottage in Dargle, set in the Midlands Meander, in the province of KwaZulu Natal, in South Africa. The cottage was built around 1840. The walls are solid stone and over a foot thick. The interior of the cottage is plastered with dung, as was the custom back then. Now before you go "eeew", there is no smell or any indication that there is anything other than regular plaster on the walls and painted, of course. The furnishings were all antique.... truly a beautiful place where magical memories were made. This photo was taken in the early morning mist before we headed out for the day's hike.

Hi Tint:
I, too, find magic in mists and fog. That is a charming photo, I really like the lighting and textures.

Hello Tint, how are you? I've been absent for 2 - 3 weeks, so I think it's about time I join the fun once more. I love your picture, full of mystery yet lovely. And those words that accompany the picture are awesome. Here's my contribution, a magical place I found last fall: http://dianadji.multiply.com/journal/item/404/MAGICAL_-_A_Photo_Story

Stone cottages/homes are a remarkable build just as this one is. The morning mist set the tone for the colors in this one ... great start for this weeks magical adventure. 8=)

Beautiful and truly a magic picture! =o)

This week it was easy for me! I knew right away which pictures to use. Yes I cheated a little and picked 2 photos, but they were taken at the same time.

Great picture Tint.

Think I'll punt on this week though. Still haven't gotten around to everyone who saw my pix and vids last week, I've a big final exam Sunday, and I can't think of anything unique I can add to the theme, photo wise.

I do find it "magical" that my street people friends open up to me the way they do, on camera, and I did capture the most dear and poignant such with Diane of Edgewater earlier this week, so if you liked my previous videos, want to see life in Chicago at its most raw and beautiful at the same time, they're in this post: "Nichole Marie Taylor- your mother loves you!"

(Backstory there... Diane hasn't seen her daughter in almost a decade, and wanted me to put up her message to her on the web.)
