Explored! Thank you very much :-)

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
6 JULY 2019
TAKE A PHOTO OF ANYTHING THAT FLIES OF FLOATS IN THE AIR

It is now getting on for 10 p.m here in Aylesbury and I was about to admit defeat and say that I didn't have anything for this week's Saturday Self-Challlenge :-(

Then, I saw the upload from Heidiho and I could not believe that I have a similar shot, taken in Oxford on Thursday :-))))) Thank you, Heidiho for the inspiration :-)))))

And, for 'Sight and Sound' I have chosen "Rainy Days and Mondays" because you sometimes you need an umbrella when it rains :-)

The song was written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols and I have chosen the original version by Paul Williams. Paul is one of my all-time musical heroes. Paul and Roger also wrote "We've Only Just Begun" amongst other classic titles.

Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Quiet unique for a floating object and sure meets the challenge for this week Roger. Some amazing photographs within the music really reflecting the mood of a rainy day.

So funny ... somebody had the idea about coloured umbrellas -
and now the whole world copy it !!! (last year I saw it in Finland too)
5 years ago.
Roger Bennion club has replied to Heidiho club
Yes, looks like the whole world copies :-))) If the umbrellas are stiil in Oxford on my next visit I will be taking more photos :-) It was a bit difficult for me on Thursday because there were two fire engines parked near the umbrellas. But, I don't think it was the umbrellas that were on fire!! I couldn't actually see why the fire engines were there!!

Oh, I'm so glad you could join us, Roger. I really like the contrasting colours here.

I've never heard this wonderful song sung by him but I've always loved The Carpenter's version. He's such a great song writer!

Oh neato! What a fun picture, and how cool that Heidi also had a similar picture for inspiration. I love that we do this for one another.

NICE job, perfect for the challenge too! :)

i love the stark nature of this composition. somehow it reminds me of The Red Balloon film (and book). something about things escaping their human connections i think. lovely.

found and enjoyed in 'Saturday Self-Challenge'
