Travel with Intent 
Unusual hanging, Debbie. Very minimalist. – I was tempted to show gallows which I’ve shown before (if with different shots) but I just didn’t feel like a “proper hanging”, so here is what I came up with: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/10/04/i-think-its-a-bird-feeder/

I did wonder if we’d get any of the dead variety! But I enjoyed your unusual hanger

Perspective makes that shot…. I bet there will be a wider range of ‘Hanging’ interpretations this week. Here is mine :- https://davidoakes-images.com/2025/10/05/ows-one-word-sunday-challenge-hanging/

Yes, it can be a challenge to think of a word that people can interpret in different photographable ways. My quick look so far this morning says you are right.

And I’m having a battle with WordPress this morning that keeps telling me I’m not logged in. It won’t let me add my comment onto your site so here it is: Oh yes, a great choice for the theme. And what wonderful colours you have captured here. I nice warming shot for us to enjoy after yesterday’s Storm Amy. I hope you didn’t suffer much damage up in your part of the country)”

As always 🙂 I went later than usual because of my Lauderdale exhibition at the end of August, and I have to say I really appreciated the cooler temperatures. The only problem going in September is that one or two exhibitions close at the end of August, but there are still many to go to. I got to all but one in Arles, and one in Marseille. And I tried to get to one out in the Camargue, but I arrived to find it was having an exceptional closure that day! Still, I enjoyed the bus ride

A very serene image of folds of fabric. Coincidentally my post also relates to curtains hanging! Blackout curtains from WWII 🙂

I so like this photo Debbie. That is one huge curtain and the chair sets it off so well.
I got carried away 😁

Thanks, Brian. The curtain and the chair have similar textures that work well with the light that is trying to get through.

That’s a big curtain and the single chair sets it off nicely, adding interest. Thanks for mentioning the mourning dove’s unusual home. 🥰
