A Photo A Week Challenge: Pink

In The Pink

I am not a huge fan of pink usually. It is a pretty colour, don’t get me wrong but I get tired of it being associated with girly things all the time. Everything Barbie is pink, and it’s rather a loud shade for my taste.

I do love pink in nature though and occasionally I see other pink things that I like to photograph. Here are some of them.

A Photo A Week Challenge: Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point

At the old Railway Station in Kuala Lumpur
These were once Sydney’s oldest moving stairs. They are wooden and were only replaced in the last year or so. I think this was at Town Hall Station but I can’t remember for sure now.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Bridges

Building Bridges

I dug into my archives for this challenge and found many different types of bridge photos. Here are a few of them.

Artistic Bridges

Here are a couple of bridges that feature art in the form of sculptures.

These bridges are beautiful as well as functional even after nearly 200 years.

A Photo A Week Challenge: Reflections

Reflections on the Water

I am so lucky to live near the beautiful Huon River where most of these photos were taken at different times over the past few years.
