Photography 101: Day 20, Triumph

This is the last day of the Photography 101 Challenge. It has been fun and I have learned a lot! Today’s theme is Triumph, to create a dramatic effect of some sort by using contrast. Here is my last entry!  These are pictures I took in Orvieto, Italy, a city of contrasts, from the cobbled lanes, the abundance of beautiful woodcuttings, to the underground city!  Enjoy!

Photography 101: Day 19, Double

Two old friends in conversation and relaxing with wine in Charleston, South Carolina! The Double Duo! Today’s assignment twosie’s! Notice the bottle tree? It is believed that the spirits are dazzled by the colors of the bottles in the sun. Once they enter the bottle, they can’t find their way out, much like flies. Legend had it that empty glass bottles placed outside the home could “capture” roving (usually evil) spirits at night, and the spirit would be destroyed the next day in the sunshine. Enjoy!
