WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: Part 281 -- Stone

Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is "Stone." As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.

Here are the rules:

1. Shots need to be taken between Monday posting and the following Monday by Sunset (Whenever that is for you ). Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!

2. Post your shots at any time during the week.

3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e.,embedding them), but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: IMAGE POSTING RULES


That's it! Have fun! . As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO DAY INDEX

Welcome back, Joayne!
Hope you enjoyed your trip, and that the weather at home has cooled.

Guess I forgot about the index. :oops:

John -- That bottom stone is soooo porous. The top one is such a pretty color. Do you know what kind they are?

BLS, thanks :) but honestly I have no idea...
My guess is the dark one almost looks like a meteor but is very light like coral and the top one looks like some type of turquoise like 75D suggested?

75D thanks, turquoise would be my guess also :)

John, the bottom one looks volcanic to me and the top looks a bit like a low grade tourquoise.

Thanks for the welcome backs ;)
Had a great vacation in the PNW and Canada where the weather was near perfect. Only rain I saw was on the day I left for the airport!!

Unfortunately, it was 116 here at home on my first day back. Weather had been fairly cool for here, low 100's to the mid 90's. Very unusual. 116 is more like it usually is and why I go north in August.

Barbara don't worry about the Index.. I appreciate you brainstorming and coming up with topics for everyone to shoot. Great Job!

I know a lot of people on the East Coast are without power and and busy just trying to get by today. Good luck to everyone, my thought are with all of you that are assessing damage, or cleaning up after the weather!

I want to Thank Barbara for keeping WWPD going this month.. Great Job to Barbara and to everyone who participates!
