Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 13 3:04 pm)
I looked in my "photographic archive" some images that matches for this challenge... I hope I succeeded in my intention!
The Elephant Fountain is a monument built between 1735 and 1737 by the architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini. It is located in the center of the Piazza del Duomo in Catania. Its main element is a statue of black basalt depicting an elephant, commonly called "u Liotru" and considered the emblem of Catania.
On the back is an Egyptian obelisk of granite, 3.66 meters high.
@Maria This reminds me of a black elephant tea pot my sister got me. Beautiful shot, great TAAAALLLL lines :-P
@MC Love how the picture is saturated in red, makes me think its hot there! Beautiful shot and thanks for spreading the warmth :-)
STILL searching for my 3rd shot, good thing we're only half way done the month.

@Kgb High contrast colours in your first shot, great DOF in the 2nd, and I like the lighting and shadows in your third shot, beautiful
@Gonzo GREAT lines in this bridge shot, so many awesome examples
@Gaius Glad to see you posted this one! Love the pastels, great colours and lines
eep! only 5 days left and I still have my third left! It'll hit me :-) Hopefully I'll get some photo editing in tonight

@Lashia and myrrhluz : thank you so much...I was on the terrace of my (cheaper !) hotel at Costa Adeje, looking at these chimneys and thinking "there is a photo ! there is a photo..." When I got back home, I was not very pleased with the photos....but after almost two months (as usual !), I said to myself "this one is not too bad".
I found another "vertical lines" photo taken back in 2006 in England. This photo, let's call it "Pencils", was taken in the playground of a primary school, where ? I can't remember, maybe not too far from Nottingham.
@ dochtersions : thanks Mies, I'm glad you like it...you should spend some time in France and visit this bambouseraie which is magnificent and very popular (it's crowded in the summertime !).
@ mariogiannecchini : thanks much. To be true, I'm impressed by the quality of your photos...and there are bamboos too where you live !
