Blue Hydrangea ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Rule of Thirds

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

This photo is one of a series in which my focus was to study the blue of the flowers when silhouetted against a bright blue, sunny day sky. The “rule of thirds” is what pulls your eye into this particular shot.

Spring Wine ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Symmetry

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

With family here for a collective birthday celebration, and a temperature of 75f yesterday, my sister and I enjoyed our wine while talking by the pond and on the deck. What a joy to be part of a dear family, and to have most everyone near enough to be together often.

This week’s photo challenge is to share an image of symmetry — we were encouraged to bend the theme in any way we like.

“And wine gladdens the heart of man.”

Psalm 103 (105):15

At Anchor ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Scale

Posted on February 8, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

This week’s photo challenge is to provide a sense of scale in a photograph. This ship anchor, is as big as the picnic table behind it. The tables and house in the background provide additional dimensions to the scale in this photo.

Fill ‘er Up! ~ Sunday Stills ~ Sepia

Posted on February 7, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

This bedraggled gasoline pump caught my eye when I walked by, and seemed a fitting subject for sepia coloration.

Those were the days — when gasoline cost less than a dollar a gallon!

Profoundly Blue ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Depth

Posted on February 1, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

This week’s challenge provides an opportunity to spotlight Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, USA. Originally named Mount Mazama, it was the tallest peak in Oregon at 12,000 feet until around 5400 B.C. when the mountain had a massive eruption, which created the caldera and reduced it’s height to 7,000 – 8,000 feet. Over the next 720 years water filled the caldera to its present depth, and lava eruptions created Wizard Island and Merriam Cone.

Wizard Island

Merriam Cone

Crater Lake is 5 by 6 miles across and has no inlets or tributaries. Its average depth is 1,148 feet and at its deepest is 1,949 feet, which makes it the deepest lake in the United States, the Western Hemisphere and the third deepest lake in the world. If it is compared to the average depth of lakes with basins entirely above sea level, Crater Lake is the deepest.
