Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo this week that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. This challenge is all about getting you out there (or inside) with your camera and shooting something you perhaps wouldn't normally photograph. Have some fun experimenting!
The rules are 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.
NOTE:
The idea behind this theme is that you take your shot from some kind of edge (a balcony, a bluff, etc.) and that you incorporate part of it in your composition. Think of Edge as a demarcating line between you and what you see, or, in other words, between your camera and what it sees. Please, just watch out! Don’t go over the edge!

The Edge of Disaster - the aftermath of yesterday's 35,000 acre prairie fire. The grass is gone, now the land blows with the wind, just like the Dust Bowl 80 years ago. (photo taken about 6 miles from my house)  |

Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors thought that if they rowed their boats far enough out, then they would fall off the EDGE of the world. The second picture is taken on North Gare. The drop is about 20 feet. Both pictures this morning from the same location.   |

Visiting the California coast and no shortage of edges. Here are a couple taken today - the first was one step away from a sheer drop into the Pacific - I hope the flowers weren't in memory of someone who took that step. The second was taken at the water's edge - we spent a while watching this pair of oystercachers playing in the surf.   Tony |

From the edge of my seat- NYC, The island where I was born. Manhatten. Left the region 30 years ago. Haven't been back in forever. |

It has changed a lot since I started going in the late '80's

Bob, great capture to fulfill this week's theme. I really like how our eyes are drawn from the edge of the top step all the way across, under the overpass, to the other side. You had your camera on the right spot. Great job!

Thanks for the fun theme Sepiana!! This one's looking over the edge.
Bill, what a capture! Light/shadows, lines/angles, and . . . B&W. It all came together to convey the feeling of . . . looking over the edge. Well done!

Rick, great composition, toning, and . . . an emotion-laden image! You captured an incredible moment in the history of Colorado. Fortunately, you were at the edge of this disaster.
As a side note -- I have driven through Logan County (80 W > 76 SW) on my way to the Denver/Boulder area. I am shocked!! That's not how I remember that area in Colorado. The prairie grass is all gone! Now it looks like the southwestern desert areas.
