ATTENTION!!!
There is no longer a "next Sunday" posting deadline. You can grab your camera, take your photo, and post it in this thread any time you wish to.
Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.

 These must be around 70 years old. The cobblers last was used by my father to repair the family shoes. The companion set used to sit on the fireplace. There are three hooks on the back of it, which had a small poker, shovel and brush. They are long gone. I don't know why my parents kept these items. They were given to me about 20 years ago. They have been used as door stops ever since - and an excellent job they make of it, too.  |

I don't believe it...we had those exact same items in the family too. The companion set used to sit on the fireplace and I always loved the kind of pearlescent look of it. I have no idea where the cobblers last came from but I remember my father used to use it for his tackety boots...thanks for the memories whippet...

Nice composition -- simple, no clutter, with the focus on the old items. |

Well, as it is too cold to go out with the camera . . . .
Pleased the picture brought back memories BJ.
When there is a story, I like to add it to a picture.
I don't know if you had these things in USA Sepiana.

That's very cool. What became of the rest of the tractor?

I recently salvaged the grill from my grandfather's Farmall Tractor that he got in 1943. It was a happy day - no more using horses and mules to pull a plow. Here is the grill and a photo of my grandfather, my mother, and uncle posing with the new tractor. kdcintx, great capture! I love how you composed your shot -- up close & personal with the salvaged grill. It did bring up its texture/details. The history behind it makes this image priceless. |

All Saints' Memorial Church is a small stone Gothic-style Episcopal church. It was built in 1864 by Richard Upjohn in Navesink, New Jersey. Helen, great finding for this week's theme! I really like how you captured the sun shining on the walls, creating the shadows. |

I found this old mounting block standing incongruously on a traffic-filled road at the top of Shooters Hill, a main thoroughfare through southeast London. No doubt the block was used for remounting your horse after climbing the hill.

At first sight, not a lot to see - but this is a very rare survival, a Bronze Age burial mound which has somehow managed to survive all the building as southeast London expanded. It dates from 2,600 to 2,700 B.C. and I feel confident that of all the contributions you receive on this week's theme, this will be the oldest, if not the most picturesque.
