This week Tina at Travels and Trifles takes us on a treasure hunt.
We need to find photos of – a sunrise and/or sunset, something cold and/or hot, a bird, a dog, a funny sign, a bicycle, a seascape and/or mountain landscape, a rainbow, a church, a musical instrument, a boat, a plane, a waterfall.
I tried for extra credits with an animal you don’t normally see, a street performer and multiple challenge items in a single item. I hope you enjoy.
Funny signs.
One outside a restaurant and the other I saw in a shuttle bus in Juneau, Alaska.
Sunset

Multiple challenge items in a single image – a street performer, a musical instrument, a bicycle and boats.

Seascape

Something cold.

A plane.

An animal I don’t normally see.

A bird.

A (cheat’s) rainbow.
It’s summer in NZ, we’re in drought and haven’t seen a rainbow for ages. Instead here’s a picture of a rainbow-like art installation, Finale: Bouquet’ like an explosion of confetti’ at Te Papa Museum in Wellington. I wished I could stand in the middle of it, it almost filled a whole room, and be absorbed by all that colour.
A church.

A dog and a boat.

A waterfall.

I didn’t manage them all but I had heaps of fun looking through my files and getting out and taking new photos.
These are terrific Wendy. I had to laugh about the squirrels 😁. I guess that’s like us chasing kangaroos! Wonderful extra credits!!

Lovely collection of images Wendy, nice to see Mangaweka shots. I have a strange fondness fondness little town — something to do with Sam Hunt’s poem and frequent stops en route to see my dad.

I’ve got a soft spot for little towns struggling to stay alive. Their history is visible because no developer has torn it down yet.

Me too. I find Mangaweka and Hunterville particularly sad. Taihape seems to be doing much better, but it is larger and I wonder if the others are suffering by proximity.

Possibly. We’re more mobile than we used to be and its much easier to drive to a larger centre. And people don’t seem to want to stop so often on trips anymore. One of the electric car put offs for a lot of people is the number of stops you need to make on a trip. It adds much more than just time to a journey and must make for safer drivers too.
