A photo challenge sometimes entered weekly, sometimes monthly, it depends on what photos I have available. It also means thinking outside the box sometimes and I confess I’m not great at doing that.
Sleeping Child by By Håkon Anton Fagerås.
This sculpture of a sleeping child is said to symbolize Norwegian optimism, survivability, and future life.
The design incorporates a separate pedestal, a rock from Hiroshima’s ground zero given earlier to Narvik by the mayor of Hiroshima. One of three peace sculptures in Narvik it was dedicated in 1956, 1995 and 2006 to remember the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.
Day Out in Whitstaple before Covid
I never thought I’d find a photograph that would show something in silver but guess what? I found one that I took a couple of years ago on quick trip from Vienna to Bratislava. I was looking for something else entirely and voila – there it was. So, my silver statue of a dapper, man-about-town off to the theatre, is my offering for Life in Colour – Silver.

Link to Jude here. Jude has asked for White or Silver this month.
First up, a couple of Spain’s White Villages, whose whiteness demands sunglasses at all times to cut the glare.

EQUINE
I tried to find something other than horses that could be associated with Equine but I’ve hit a blank wall, so here are three from different countries.
GLEAMING
And what could gleam more than the highly polished antique cars in the Beaulieu Motoer Museum in Hampshire, UK.
And still gleaming, what about the white terraces formed from sedimentary rock deposits of hot springs at Pamukkale in Turkey.
JAGGED
Jagged means mountains and rocks to me, pieces of wood and jagged edges on textiles but for want of either textile or wood, I offer you some rocks in France and mountains in Switzerland.
BUFFETS
Buffets come in many sizes and from budget to stratospheric. I think one of the finest ways to enjoy buffet food (and the safest) is street food in Thailand or Singapore where it is always served fresh and hot from the pan (unlike hotel food which is often cooked much earlier and then put on display). These pictures are all from Thailand’s night-markets where it’s fun to meet up with friends, grab a table and go from stall to stall buying your food and sharing – a true buffet experience.
And here’s the bit of posh from my favourite hotel in Thailand, the Dusit Thani in Hua Hin.
