Let's have some fun!

[Elfin Yeti]

Post your photos of "visual alliteration". Here are some to get you motivated!

[Celebration]

1. Can't complete with yours, but

Column shadows, LOL



I'll see if I have anything else.

Aha...I have a few like this..Christmas pageant.....

[intheflow]

9. That Christmas pageant is super-cute!

I love their little angel wings! And like all kids in pageants, every one of them is in their own worlds! :rofl:

[Elfin Yeti]

28. OK, no fair...

...that much cute all in one place ought to be illegal! Nice!!

[Blue_In_AK]

2. I posted this one a couple weeks ago

but it still works:




This one, too, I guess.

[intheflow]

10. I missed it when you posted that top one before.

What is it? :shrug: Heating coils?

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Well, honestly, I'm not really sure what it is.

It's a tighter-in shot of this:



Your guess is as good as mine. We didn't cross the street to check it out.

[intheflow]

43. I like the original better than your crop.

Something about the red hand is very compelling!

[Blue_In_AK]

52. It's actually two different shots

with two different lenses, if I remember right.

Sometimes I like the hand one better, and sometimes I just like the symmetry of the first one. I think we're going downtown today, in the daylight, so maybe I can explore what this is a little more fully. :) Whatever it is, it's a recent addition to that sidewalk...I sure don't remember it being down there before this winter.

[Celebration]

38. love the ligth in the last one

And the fog (mist, steam?) coming up from the cars.

[Mz Pip]

3. Here's mine.

Mz Pip

[intheflow]

11. I love that last one!

It has great texture and light!

[alfredo]

4. Mine is posted in this month's contest: Big Wheels.

[Celebration]

37. And I LOVE it n/t

[alfredo]

48. Thanks.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

5. I understand!

Like this?

[intheflow]

12. That second shot is really cool.

:thumbsup:

[Elfin Yeti]

26. Yes, exactly like that!! n/t

[Celebration]

6. Some from the Florida vacation

[intheflow]

13. I love the gulls.

I found when I was looking through my own stuff to contribute for this thread, I was much more drawn to recurring themes in nature than in human-made items/structures. I dunno. The natural ones just seem more... pure and the others... contrived. (Not the photos themselves, the subject matter.) Anyway, the birds made me smile when I saw them. Nice work. :hi:

[Elfin Yeti]

29. The composition is perfect!

I especially like the beach chairs with the beach goer right in the middle! There's just something about that photo that's very appealing and intriguing.

[Sheepshank]

7. mind if I recycle a couple?

rotoliteration


railiteration


Watergate-eration

[Elfin Yeti]

27. Love the words and the pictures!

The strong designs are so pleasing to the eye! Great stuff!

[Dwinal87]

59. Railiteration is great!!

I love how the patter goes around from one side to the other...if it was flashing red it would be like Space Mountain at Walt Disney World.

[intheflow]

8. What a fun thread!

Here are my contributions:





Walked by this on a path in Massachusetts. Wild turkeys were roosting in this tree. I think it looks like a vortex to another realm!

[Celebration]

16. That last one???

That is totally CRAZY!! Seriously. Great shot! I have to turn my head every which way.

[Elfin Yeti]

30. These are great!

The first one is almost whimsical in its "motion" and design -- I really like that one! That tree! What a find!

[alfredo]

14. OK, found one

[intheflow]

18. Yeah, that's a good one.

But what exactly is it? It's super-cool looking but a little creepy upon first glance!

[alfredo]

23. Hen and Chicks.

Here's what they look like.



They are everywhere around here.

[intheflow]

42. I was thinking it was a succulent kind of plant.

But I was thinking venus flytrap. We have hens and chicks all over Denver, too, but I don't ever remember seeing them when I grew up in Massachusetts. And I've never looked at them so closely I noticed hairs on them! Great shot, alfredo!

[alfredo]

47. Thanks. Kids see a different world because their eyes are

closer to the ground, they see things from a different angle. Small things are noticed and inspected. Macro is the kid's eye view of the world.

[Tindalos]

64. That looks like an alien

or part of a microscopic bug. Slightly sinister in a very cool and fascinating way.


---------------------------

[alfredo]

70. Pod people come out of them.

[Tindalos]

71. I can believe it

That explains my neighbour's strange behaviour lately.


-------------------------

[alfredo]

74. Does he have Ron Paul yard signs?

[Mira]

15. What fun this is. And beautiful photos show up.

I wondered if I could find anything to fit the topic, and it took just a few minutes to find these three.
It teaches me to look at the photos differently, I like that.

[intheflow]

19. These are great, Mira!

I love the flower pot holders' shadows on the house, and I want to move into the house in the last shot! Where was that taken? And is the backlighting natural or electric?

[Mira]

21. It's not in a home, it's the lobby of the

Acoma Sky City cultural center in Acoma New Mexico. The light is artificial on the artifacts of the Indians. A really wonderful place quite conducive to meditating about a whole lot of things.
Thanks for encouraging me, I will post a couple more now.
:)

[Celebration]

35. I love that place

Just from your photo!

You always bring out a latent travel bug in me. Your pictures of the Keys, and the southwest, are just, STUNNING. There, I said it. But they truly deserve that superlative.

[Elfin Yeti]

32. I especially like the first and third ones. n/t

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. i got some of those

sea rail


Ravenel Bridge


recent post, but it fits


and
oh, why not

[Elfin Yeti]

31. What fun!

The bridge really caught my eye and I love your cat!

[Celebration]

34. Mo!!!

That cat...........I love your cat.

Who cares about the lamp shade?

:rofl:

Actually, the lamp shade is great too.

And I thought about your recently posted picture when this thread popped up.

[Mira]

22. Proof: Cigarettes kill, and a bonus shot in the same cemetary

The first one is of course some graves of the family members of Richard Joshua Reynolds lining up at the foot of his standing large memorial.
In Winston-Salem, when I arrived here in the early sixties as a non-smoking teen, I had to smoke in job interviews, and I best smoked a Reynolds product.
(30 years later I finally quit)

[Elfin Yeti]

25. these two are great!

Congrats on being an ex-smoker! I can't believe I actually smoked for 10 years! I quit about 27 years ago.

I love all the great photos and the theme expressed so well! This is even more fun than I thought it would be!!!

[Sheepshank]

51. oooh how pretty are those fillament-y trees

Your tombstones reminded me of my trip to Arlington National Cemetary...one of the saddest alliterations....I could not find the pics, but given my current mood, maybe it's just as well.

[JeffR]

24. Great thread!

I got nothing easily at hand, but I'm loving what people have brought here to share.

[intheflow]

45. A. I can't believe you don't have something handy.

You, the king of the urban 'scapes? :)

B. I absolutely love your sig line. It's quite possibly my favorite song. I have about five different covers of it, and of course Simon's original. The one I'm particularly enamored with at present is Willie Nelson's cover.

[JeffR]

54. Thank you. It is a stirring song, deep down stirring.

And I dug out a couple of pics





And an old pencil drawing

[intheflow]

62. Wow! That first shot is great!

What great color and texture. And sooooo hippy! :smoke:

[ljm2002]

33. Okay, here's a few...

Fremont Street, Las Vegas, at night:



Hallway in the Museo De Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid:



Gate at the entrance of the Museo De Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid:



Cholla cactus:



Dried mud on the desert floor:

[Celebration]

36. These are all really nice

Even though I have a few pictures that fit the theme, I think I may specifically look for repitition more in the future.

The cracked earth really brought back memories of drought in Texas when I was growing up. The cactus is perfect!

[Celebration]

39. Japan--stone lanterns and bicycles

Not sure if I have posted these from Nara or not, but they fit the theme so well, I'll go with it. I think I prefer antique to sepia, LOL.





Here's an endless bicycle rack in Tokyo

[HarveyDarkey]

40. A few post Katrina

[intheflow]

44. I have some of those post-Katrina alliteration shots, too.

[HarveyDarkey]

46. Where and when were yours taken?

These I posted were almost six months to the day after Katrina, on the Ponchartrain lake front.

The ones I took in the Ninth ward had too much disarray for any alliteration.

[intheflow]

56. I worked relief and recovery on the MS coast

from 11/05 - 6/07. The first and the last were taken in Gulfport and the middle one was in Bay St. Louis. I hear you about most photos taken at the time being in too much disarray for this kind of thread. Now a chaos thread... well, we'd rule that one, Harvey!

[Mira]

41. Do you like rust? Repeating rust.

Here's plenty of it in the old abandoned goldmine

[Celebration]

49. I like rust!

Especially all that green in the Union picture.

Quite a collection of wabi sabi there!

[Mira]

53. Thanks Celebration. I appreciate your kind comments.

I love how well your photo is doing. It should. It's so totally happily wonderful.

[Dwinal87]

60. The Union

With the rust/green contrast...wonderful!

[Sheepshank]

50. I'm having fun...may I add some originals from my old P&S days?

Friscoliteration


1500 year old "illiter"ation...I can't read a thing!


'Brella thumbprint

[Celebration]

55. these are cool

where is the "illiter" ation taken?

[Sheepshank]

58. I took a detour

on the way to Zions National Park. Within 45 miles there is a little off the road town called Parrowan. There are a lot of Fremont Indian carvings. Some of the rock carvings are unfortunately damaged by kids who want to add their own brand of "SC *heart* GH". Broke my heart to see that kind of defacing of ancient artwork.

[JeffR]

57. From this afternoon

[Dwinal87]

61. This is all I have.

These were taken at the Brimfield Antique Show in Ma.







This one was in a restaurant in Jackson, Wyoming.

[intheflow]

63. Hey! I've been to the Brimfield Antique Show, too!

I used to live one town over, went every year. :hi: Love your shots. I remember they always had those mailboxes at one booth or another every year. They always had the coolest things. And old. Very old things. Now that I live in Colorado, I go to "antique" stores and most stuff is from the turn of the last century--or the 1950s! :rofl:

[Tindalos]

65. What a fun idea!

The first one's from today and the other was posted last year:











-----------------------------------

[Elfin Yeti]

67. whoa, I love your second shot!

That one is absolutely gorgeous!

[Tindalos]

72. It rained all day yesterday

I tried to go out but it was too wet for photography and I just started photographing stuff around the apartment out of pure boredom. The paperclips turned out better than expected.

Edit: Whoops, I meant this reply for the post below. Anyway thanks. I think I posted the second photo last year.

-----------------------

[intheflow]

69. Love the paper clips!!

:loveya:

And your sig line photo could be a contender for this thread, as well! :hi:

[Tindalos]

73. Thanks

It rained yesterday and I was desperate to photograph something. The paper clips just caught my eye. You're right about the sig pic too. Good catch.


-------------------------

[HappyCynic]

66. Bit late joining in...

Looks like I'm a bit late in joining in but here are a couple. Like Tindalos', one from last year and one from today (oddly enough, both taken on rainy days).

From last year:


From today:

[Celebration]

68. Hmmm

This would actually be a great contest theme. I participated for fun but there are some really, REALLY great photos here that I bet GD would like to see.

[Elfin Yeti]

75. I thought the same thing

I would love to enter the contests but if I won, having to host the next one would be a penalty for me! I can't imagine doing it at all much less doing it as well as you pros do! So I try to post the occasional challenge like this one.

[tekisui]

76. Here are a few:

[intheflow]

77. Those two middle shots are great!

What's happening in the second shot? A didgeridoo faith healing? :rofl:

[tekisui]

78. Didgeridoo massage.

It was going on at a local arts festival.

[Celebration]

79. Looks awesome!

Great photos, BTW.
