Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just post a photo or photos which will be your interpretation of the theme.
The rules are rather simple.
Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
Your photo(s) should be taken during the week of the theme.
You are allowed to do some photoshopping.
You are to experiment and, most of all, have fun.
NOTE:
This week’s theme may be interpreted literally or figuratively. Think of boundaries as limits, borders, or dividers which can be constructed of physical objects or can be of a social nature (imposed on us by society).

Boundaries: Fence - keeping people out? Or keeping livestock in?  |

Wendy,
Nice interpretation of this theme. I really like the perspective (angle) of your shot with the fence as a leading line going across the image.

I hope to be able to post a better entry, but the rest of the week is going to be pretty busy and I don't know if I'll get a chance. As a backup entry ... here is Boundary St where it intersects with Macadam in Portland.  Thanks for the theme Sepiana ... I'll try hard to get a better image posted. |

Bill,
A backup entry! What a great idea as well as a display of your dedication to the WP challenge! I sincerely appreciate it.
I really like your interpretation of this theme. The way you zoomed in made all the difference. Great shot! |

As I live close to the longest boundary in the world I thought it deserved a picture and a bit of history. This white stone still officially defines the boundary between the US and Canada here. The actual boundary is in the river - a series of "turning points" connected by straight lines but as you can't easily put a permanent marker in the river without interfering with boat traffic the marker is on land and the actual boundary turning point is defined by a distance and bearing from here. It's been here for over 100 years and is still maintained as an official boundary marker (along with many others along the river)by the International Boundary Commission- this one (Reference Monument 48-42) is particularly interesting as it has a plaque outlining the history of the boundary. Despite GPS, SatNav and all the latest technology for precisely determining any location on earth to the closest micro-inch I find it rather amusing that a white painted stone is still recognized as the official marker defining the Canada/US border.  And here's a close-up of the plaque to read:  Tony |

What was once the headquarters of the Wagon Wheel Ranch. I see it as demonstrating the narrow Boundary between success and failure. In its day this was a very nice house, the home of a wealthy and successful rancher. Now it sits in ruins. The boundary which was crossed could have been caused by something as small as one bad winter or one poor business decision. Rural life on the high plains of northeastern Colorado can have very harsh boundaries.  |

Tony,
What an interpretation of Boundaries! The little white painted stone that could! I just love it. Your colorful and sharp images do justice to this little stone and the history behind it. Well done!

Great thinking out of the box and an amazing image to go with it! Your choice of post-processing (moody . . . somber . . . vintage-like) was perfect for your interpretation of this theme.

When I saw this potted Coleus, I immediately thought of Boundaries.
- The size of the pot is bound (limited) by the size of the plant stand.
- The size of the pot limits the number of seedlings you can place inside it.
- The size of the pot places boundaries on how the plants’ roots will grow and how big the plants will eventually be.
- Mother Nature sets her own boundaries on the location of these potted plants in order for them to get at least 6 hours of full sun.
- Finally, the deck railing has its own boundaries. It signals the edge of the deck and acts as a "protective" border around it.
