You can look through the window, its window shopping, you don't have to buy what they are selling.

Have just been having a peruse -what a great selection of photos already -it's going to be a tough choice again when it gets to voting time...

Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
I HATE SHOPPING, window or otherwise!

I'd rather do paint balling, but I can never decide if I should paint them the same colour or perhaps, in contrasting colours!

Come on you lot uploads to this competition will close tomorrow get yours in soon

Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Yes, it is a bit disappointing that there's not more entries this time. Definitely quality there though even if not quantity. I apologise for only having one entry myself in competition 20 but it's the only photo I could find taken inside a church - not sure what that says about me, oops! Also not sure what it says about the lack of entries by other Webbers of photos on this subject....oops, again!!! Maybe enough said!!!!!!

dotti34 03-10-2013 09:50
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Will still find it hard to decide which to vote for - some super shots.

Margaret Pilkington 03-10-2013 09:58
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
We could definitely do with some more entries.

davemac 03-10-2013 10:23
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Mick, you picked the one subject that I don't have any photos of, or am likely to have, so regrettably I am unable to enter this competition, which is a pity as I enjoy entering.

I have obliged you Margaret, thanks all for jogging my memory.

Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
thank you Russell...every little helps.
Never mind Dave......your cathedral is the open air, the blue skies and the damp grass....your stained glass is dewdrops on plants and flowers.

Margaret Pilkington 03-10-2013 11:49
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
There are some lovely shots...it going to be hard to make a choice.

The first time I saw the inside of a Church in years was when I was with Mick in Brugges, he took the piccies.


So like Dave I ain't got any pics and I'm not likely to get any.

Well, I was wrong, just gone out of my way to take a pic.
I hope you appreciate the effort Mick.

Well that's strange, I checked and you were correct no sign of it...

Loaded it again and can now see two copies of the same pic on site, I hope it doesn't split any votes coming my way in half!

Margaret Pilkington 03-10-2013 14:58
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
I like the inside of churches......it makes me wonder how the craftsmen managed to work the stone in the way they did...and it also makes me wonder if they knew how beautiful(architecturally) the building would ultimately be.
You do not need to subscribe to organised religion to appreciate the splendour and beauty of churches.

Turtle 03-10-2013 19:41
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Just tried three different churches - all locked up. I'm still trying!

shillelagh 03-10-2013 22:03
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
ive only pictures of the outside of the churches ... don't take them inside ...:o

Turtle 03-10-2013 22:29
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Gave up trying to get into a 'live' church. Who knew they were only open on Sunday? Goes to show you how out of touch I am. I do appreciate some aspects of their beauty, so I searched through some photos taken long, long ago. Somehow it felt more true for me...

dotti34 03-10-2013 23:29
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Have had the same experience re locked churches, Turtle. Pity it has to be so to safeguard places that used to be considered safe havens to go to, and always open.
Sadly, vandals have no scruples, just don't care what they wreck or who they steal from. No place is sacred to them, not even churches.

dotti34 03-10-2013 23:33
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Yes, Margaret, the workmanship is beautiful in churches and must have been painstakingly carried out, with much patience, especially when you think of the only tools they had to do this work. The mind boggles as to how they did it. That's when a craftsman WAS a craftsman, a true artist.

And imagine knowing you would be involved in a project that you would never see finished..for that must have been true for many of the craftsmen who worked on such buildings.

Congratulations Margaret - a great shot, well deserving a win!

Margaret Pilkington 07-10-2013 07:20
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
ooh, you are making me blush. Thank you for your votes.
I love that place......not from a religious point of view, but for the peace, serenity and calm that is there......and even when the cathedral has lots of visitors, it still makes me feel like that.
It is an awesome place. If I lived closer I would visit it every week...just not on a Sunday.

I hope there will be lots of entries to the new comp.......because there are lots of opportunites to take pictures that would be acceptable for this theme.
Lots of shops have displays that reflect the theme...so get out there and get snapping!

It was a very evocative subject Margaret, congratulations, did you have
to get down on your knees to take it??! I loved Richard Burton as Thomas a Becket -I wonder if it was filmed there or in a studio...

They don't do Halloween much in Italy - but I do! Will have to dig out some old photos of my boys and scan them in -either that or a self-portrait :D

Margaret Pilkington 07-10-2013 16:58
Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
No Dianne......I shot it from a distance using Zoom.
I'm sure you will find something...like I said..gravestones, black cats, spiders...all of these have link to halloween, and sometimes you can be a bit creative with the theme.

Well done Ma, even a heathen like me can appreciate the architecture & décor of a Church. :)

Re: New Photo Competition 20
 
Thanks Son...it really is a beautiful place...and I am glad that my picture has portrayed some of the beauty that is there.
