October 7: Historical + Mythological


An embroidered phoenix on one of my Japanese haori.

My bedside lamp.

Unicorns above the door at Holyrood Palace. There are a lot of unicorns at Holyrood.

Sculpture at the concentration camp in Dachau.

Statue of Robert the Bruce on the Field of Bannockburn.

October 8: Non-prompt today, some pictures I took from a plane.

I think it's cool how the land looks like it's in patches like that.

October 9: Favorite Scary Film + Photo Negatives

I had waaaaay too much fun with this prompt. Photo negatives look delightfully sinister.

Pictures at an old church and barn.

It reminds me of a spider...

Tunnel.

Sometimes you just look at pics and think 'oh that's nice', and then sometimes you look at some and wish that you could be there and see and experience whatever the image is and these latest ones really got me like that.

Loving this thread.

 

[Cavey]

I'd be posting some, but I am not in the best of health at the moment. Keep posting them, Solivagant - I'm enjoying them a great deal.

 

[Solivagant]

Thanks! =] I was starting to feel kind of lonely in here.

OctoPhoMo 10: Pumpkins + 10 of Something

 

[Cavey]

Your pictures really are fantastic. That photo of the fields taken from aboard an aircraft is particularly amazing. You seem to be very well travelled too - I suppose that matches your username

Thank you, Cavey! =] I've been to 4 countries and 12 states, other than my own. I don't consider myself all that well-travelled, but maybe that's because I can't seem to get enough of it, lol.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Awesome jack-o-lanterns, ucxb! Pumpkin carving is one of my favorite fall activities. I also like to season and roast the seeds. Makes for a good October snack. =]

Thanks for posting!

October 11: Corn + Scarves

A random assortment of scarves, my favorite fall accessory. The one wrapped around the pole is my newest addition. The green plaid in the middle I got at a kilt shop in Scotland, and is supposedly the tartan of some of my Scottish ancestors.

A photoshop experiment.

October 12: Spooky Halloween Dessert + Graveyard

Wild turkeys in the graveyard.

Why did the turkey cross the road...?

Greyfriar's Kirkyard, purportedly haunted. One of our travel mates claims to have gotten her pants ripped by unseen forces around Covenanters' Prison.

The chapel door of a graveyard church. I thought it was cool.

A gravestone in a St. Andrews cemetery.

^Beautiful pictures, Solivagant.

October 13: Favorite Fall Drink + Blood

I don't have a picture, but my favorite fall drink is cider. =]


I think this rock looks kind of bloody. Does anyone else see a dead elephant with its nose cut off?

A simmering pot of my homemade chili.

October 14: Skeleton(s) + Witch(es)

This is a vertebrae bone of the gigantosaur, Amphicoelias Fragillimus, at the Dinosaur Museum in Colorado Springs. "This giant was the single largest land-based life form -- never mind dinosaur -- on record. Amphicoelias Fragillimus was not only taller than King Kong or the 'rex, it was tall enough to have walked over them."

[Arachne]

I too like the other ladies have already said enjoy this thread immensely. Just needs a witch

 

[Alma lost her spoon]

A couple of photos of a witch as requested Arachne, a Halloweeny witch rather than a *real* one granted but the best I can do at short notice

These pix are a good few years old now(before I started skating I think so at least 5 years ago), it's interesting looking back, I'm in quite a bit better shape these days.
