Travel Theme: DRY

Ailsa of “Where’s My Backpack?” is fed up with all the rain (and I think many people in the UK will go along with her sentiments) so is looking for some DRY photos in this week’s theme. If you would like to join in with her challenge then please do. Everyone is welcome.

I wish they’d swapped brollies though to match their outfits better!

A Word a Week Challenge: Context

THE SAYING “A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS” is never more true than with a photograph. Photographs have tremendous power to communicate information. But they also have tremendous power to communicate misinformation, especially if we’re not careful how we read them.

    • Who or what do you see?
    • When was this photograph taken — what is happening in the photograph?
    • Where was this photograph taken?

and finally

    • Why?

So how do YOU interpret the context in this photograph? I’d love to hear what you think.

Although I really dislike puppets (the fear of puppets is Pupaphobia) especially wooden ones like Pinocchio, the ones you find in the Czech Republic are quite amazing, if not a little disturbing.
