Travel

The other topic we had to photograph and blog about this week in Shimelle's class is travel. So today I thought I'd share some photographs I took for this layout - these are all of my little car, which I haven't yet scrapped so thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me!

First up, we have the slightly off-kilter shot of my car - I was not really trying to be arty here, just avoid getting my number plate in the shot whilst also hiding from my neighbours the fact that I was taking photos of my dirty car. I don't THINK you can see any bird poo on it in this shot, but I'm sure if you look closely...


Next, the close up detail of the car keys, which still very sadly have a broken keyring and bit of dirty string attached! Not the most attractive, but if it kick starts me into buying a new keyring then at least we have achieved something with this photo!



A shot here of my Little Miss Sunshine air freshener, which has been hanging there since I've had the car and is more of a decoration now as there is certainly no 'freshen' left in it.



And finally, the obligatory shot of myself in the wing mirror, which I quite like nonetheless because not only does it have me and the car, but the corner house with the bike outside which I park in front of each day, and the local pub in the background too!


Now, today's blog prompt was: if we could travel anywhere in time, where would it be? Anyone who knows me well would be able to answer this one - definitely the sixties! And I would go to see this little lot...


I think I would be one of the girls in a Hard Day's Night chasing them through the train station! Or chasing them anywhere really. I'd just love to be able to wait expectantly for their next LP and hear their songs brand new for the first time. This is a life long obsession which resulted in me studying Sixties history at uni way too much and now enthusing about it to my sixth form student, poor little mites!

Now, I'm off to fill out my schedule for prompt two...

  3. What great photos of your car. Love the one of the wing mirror as it actually shows much more than you first realise. Think my neighbours must think I'm mad to taking photos of my car although I actually got down on the floor to take some of them... What must they think?
