I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to post a picture from Cappadochia, so here we are, two fairy chimneys.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Journey
The weeks photo challenge is what I like to do most of all – journey! A journey for me is to be as far away from my normal world as possible, not necessarily in distance, but in culture, landscape, climate and experience. So the photo I have chosen was taken in Borneo, the greatest distance I have travelled, so far, and as this is in rain forest it’s really different from temperate England. This is the Kinabatanga river in Sabah.
Poisonous green snakes nestled in the trees and wild orang utans and proboscis monkeys were up there too. If you check out a post from last year you will be able to read more about this particular journey. https://lucidgypsy.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/nests-of-primates/
Weekly Photo Challenge: Arranged
Sara Rosso at the WordPress Daily Post has chosen the theme of ‘Arranged’ for this weeks challenge. I liked the way these brightly decorated sheep were arranged on the Cathedral green!
They were decorated by children in local schools and grazed on the green for the weekend, it’s a pity they didn’t stay.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual
What a difficult challenge! After all what is unusual to me in England is commonplace to lots of you. Most of the people who visit Lucid Gypsy are in the USA so I think this may be unusual for you, it’s a forest of Dishtrees with the Atlas mountains in the background 🙂
Weekly Photo Challenge : Contrast
Another interesting challenge, I took this in Winchester and hope it fits the bill, enjoy!
and I’m going to see if I can work out how to pingback this week starting with

For Sandra who wanted to see the original, a bit of a mess really!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Distorted
As soon as I saw this weeks challenge I remembered this photo, taken in the ground of Dartington Hall in Devon. I believe the large and very old tree was struck by lightning and that the dark stuff is applied to protect its insides. It seems to have saved it thank goodness, because it’s in a row and it would be a huge loss. As well as its own twists and turns I have fresco’d it with Photoshop.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Indulge
Possibly, it does look wonderfully fresh . . .
Oh yes! It was pancake day after all. American style with banana and maple syrup.
Well and truly indulge(d)
Hic!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Down
I really like this weeks challenge but will restrain myself to just a few pics!
Looking beyond the Petronas Towers to a whole load of tiny sky scraping buildings!
He made it ‘down’ low enough.
Looking ‘down’ from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Regret
This photo is about much more than regret but I won’t intrude on any feelings you may have. I felt it appropriate especially as many of my blogging friends are from Australia and New Zealand. It was taken at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.
and this is to show a little more for those who may never have the opportunity to visit.
Last year, soon after I began blogging, I wrote this poem and posted it with another photo. https://lucidgypsy.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/anzac-cove/
Weekly Photo Challenge: Ready
There is always something different to see in Bath, I think these guys were ‘ready’ to perform.
I really like the trotters!
