#PhotoJanuary2023 Day 1, “23 not on a calendar” and/or “funny”

#photography #challenge #PhotoJanuary

These are local products from the county of La Creuse, which is ranked 23 in the alphabetical list of French counties (hence, the number appears in the addresses.)
My parents, who have been living there for years, are visiting me for 5 or 6 weeks, and they brought those as gifts.

#PhotoJanuary2023 Day 2, “weird” and “shot abroad”

#photography #challenge #PhotoJanuary

Maman, by Louise Bourgeois.
Mori Tower, Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, Japan. June 2013.

I have been lucky to visit Japan 6 or 7 times. I have also been lucky to see “Maman” at the foot of the Mori Tower twice, and at the foot of the Bilbao Guggenheim museum twice, too where the same statue is installed.

#PhotoJanuary2023 Day 4, “failed” and “mostly yellow”

The Statue of Liberty of #Odaiba in #Tokyo at sunset, situated roughly between the Gundam base and the Rainbow Bridge. I could not get the camera to focus on anything! February 2015.

#PhotoJanuary2023 Day 5, “music” and “an animal”

A cicada, on summer night, caught my attention. Its shape created a strong visual contrast against the lit up lamp shade of the terrace. The wing so delicate it looked like lace.

#PhotoJanuary2023 Day 7, “low-angle shot” and “a tree”

There were many trees to consider during my #eMTB circuit today in the Esterel. I chose a venerable looking ancient oak whose trunk was covered in moss, and another further up where the rock is red, overlooking the path I traveled.

February 2015. Walking to #Jigokudani Yaen Kōen near Yamanochi (north-east of Nagano, #Japan), to photograph the #Shigakogen Japanese macaques who in winter bathe in the warm waters of the hot springs (onsen).
