How about paper for one of the contests??

This wall has character and bears more than weight. Lovely.

Thanks a lot!

Paper! Great idea, Deb :)

I'm going to have to come up with a plan and try something creative. I don't have all the fancy equipment you have but I figure if I purchased some stiff bristol board (thick thick paper) in black and a white I can use that as my backdrop for photos. Also, I saw somewhere to crinkle up tin foil and smooth it would again that i would make a nice bokeh background for something, like I don't know, medication? :)

Yes, thick paper works great for backdrops, but you can also use textile or pretty much everything that comes to your mind :) Are you thinking of shooting your medications now? :))

mayhaps.....:)

I thought I would give this a go, it is a wall I build last spring and I am fixing to add another one here in a week or two. I live on the side of a mountain in Tennessee. Unless one of your legs is longer than the other one, you learn how to terrace your yard in order to have some level ground. I added a few more photos in my post to this one, one is of a wall I put in for my waterfalls on my koi pond. I think it more fun going into the woods to find the rocks, but being able to see them every day is pretty rewarding.

Good job and glad to deduce that your legs are more or less of equal length.

All in all you're just another brick in the wall...

Pink Floyd

Fabulous band and I saw the concert in Zurich a few years back. Amazing!!

Wow, that must have been cool!

That's an interesting photo!

Thank you, @kus-Knee! It is an old wall in my town. I liked the shadow of the tree on the wall.

Thanks for submitting this!

This is very pretty with all the different tones and letters from the brick maker I'm guessing - I used to work for a brick company years ago and they always put their marks somewhere.

Yeah,
But here in India you can also put your own letters on the bricks by paying a little bit extra.

That's very interesting. I wonder what I would have engraved.....hmmmm.

A quiet place for a break..

I love it! Where did you take the picture?

Zitouna Mosque from Tunisia..

Wow, so nice. I was in Tunisia once and had a great visit!

Ahh So gooooddd..welcome again, I am waiting you for the next visit..

I love this too....especially with the birds finding perch on the scroll work.

I love this!! Fantastic shot!

This is SUCH a great shot, @kouba01 - well spotted!

This isn't my submission:
