Summer Scavenger Hunt 2013 Round Up #2

Here I am with a second set of shots taken for Rinda’s scavenger hunt.

8. A tower….

….fit for Rapunzel.

9. Someone or something out of place.

A sofa beside the River Avon.

10. A bench that is outside.

A memorial for unknown seafarers in Bristol.

11. An animal in a zoo, aquarium or nature preserve.

A ‘dog fish’ at Bristol Aquarium.

12. That pesky cloud still eludes me!

13. A fence…

….around Vincent Van Gromit.

14. A stained glass object or a mosaic.

Golden Gromit at the Victoria Rooms.

15. A fire truck or police car.

A hybrid?

Still two to find and only a week left now. I’d better get a move on.

In 20 Words….

Abi from Creating Paper Dreams challenged her readers to tell the story of a photo in twenty words. Here’s my attempt.

“Press the button.”

“What will happen?”

“I don’t know.”

“You press it.”

One doesn’t like surprises, the other likes reassurance.

 

It’s trickier than it looks! Why not have a go yourself. I’ll be back tomorrow with another round up of shots for Rinda’s Summertime Photo Scavenger Hunt.

PS In case you are wondering. They did eventually press the button and the result was music composed by Jools Holland.

Summer Scavenger Hunt 2013 Round Up #1

Over the next three Saturdays I’ll share my final shots for Rinda’s brilliant Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt. Some you will have seen before, but there are a few new ones and some alternatives.

1.Open Air Market

St. Nicholas’ Market. The oldest market in Bristol established in 1743 in the streets surrounding the Corn Exchange.

2. Theatre for performing arts

Bristol Old Vic

3. City hall, Capitol or similar civic building.

Shaftesbury Town Hall

4. Airplane

Blue Finch. A ‘Flying Flea’ built by Bristol engineer, Harry Dolman.

5. A sunset

Taken during our exam results celebration picnic. Stonehenge was behind me.

6. Someone or something taking a nap

A mallard by the lake at Stourhead.

7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny

Hot dogs, Wallace and Gromit style.

It occurred to me (too late!) that I probably could have taken all 21 shots, during the course of our Gromit hunts, in Bristol and the surrounding areas. I have two more things to find, including that pesky cloud and a self portrait to take, which I’m leaving until last. Then I’m done. How about you?

Friday Finds ~ Summer Scavenger Hunt 2013 #6

A few of my quirkier shots for you today, although some might say, two of them are just down right cheating! See what you think.

20. A dinosaur: the little known Gromitasaurus

9. Something out of place: a nest tucked away in the entrance tunnel at Stonehenge

6. Someone/thing taking a nap: a sleepy fox spotted in a Bristol street

9. Again! A sofa perched dockside. On the far left is a reconstruction of The Matthew

11. An animal in a zoo, aquarium etc: A dog fish at Bristol aquarium

So….cheating or being creative with the prompts? What’s the quirkiest photo you’ve taken so far in the hunt? I’m hoping to catch up on everyone’s progress soon.

ETA: Rinda is hosting a link up on her blog this weekend. Go and see her dinosaurs, they are amazing.
