Sunday Stills – Go Low, Looking High
Whew! This week was a challenge…I had a clear idea of what I wanted to photograph, but between prior commitments and bad weather it never materialized. My “cheat” was to abandon my self imposed horse requirement and pull from the archives, but even that has proven difficult due to some memory glitches with my computer, who is not presently very happy with me… Hope you appreciate what I was able to pull out 11th hour…

This photo of the South African flag was taken at the jail on Robbin Island, South Africa, where Nelson Mandela was housed for many years.
Check out Sunday Stills for other entries, as well as Laughing Orca Ranch, The Skoog Farm Journal, All Horse Stuff, and Baba Yaga’s Mirror, all of whom frequently participate in the challenge.

The flag shot is nice, and memorable.

heii, is that tree really tall or is that your position makes it feel really huge, good work

Thanks, Flowerweaver and Sharon! Glad you liked.
Henry, yes that tree was pretty tall. I didn’t even get low to take that photo – I just snapped it!
Dibear, Thanks. I have been fortunate enough to take some really amazing trips! Maybe I’ll have to start up a site devoted to travel photos!

What were you doing in South Africa? Here New Zealand is playing in the World cup, so it is very much in everyone’s mouth. You saw those low trumpet?

Hi Ann, I was in SA for a scientific conference a few years ago. I really enjoyed my visit, and it was fun to get the chance to use one of my photos for a challenge. I haven’t been following the World Cup much, though.
