Record Cover Challenge - Champagne Music

Record Cover Challenge - Champagne Music

02 Dec 2017 20 16 653
For the Saturday Self-challenge: record cover. Popular on North American television in the 1950s-1970s Lawrence Welk's sentimental, kitchy, take on popular music was a challenge for some and a delight for others. It was so bubbly they called it Champagne Music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fcjc9TCEjw www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jaosn-LkOjw

Violin is Hard

My wife said that the violin was a hard instrument to play so I used it as a hammer. For the Sunday Challenge: Take a photograph of an ordinary everyday item(s) in an out of the ordinary place. A place where you would not normally find the item. ****The added twist: give the photograph a vintage effect. A daguerotype effect from Corel Paintshop.

Red Abstract

For the Saturday Self-challenge. Out of focus abstract. An in-focus picture of the abstract is in the note. May the splash of red remind us of all the deaths that bring tribute to all who sacrifice but are eventually meaningless as we refuse to learn the lessons of the past and plan assaults for the future. Remembrance Day 2017.

For the Sunday Challenge: Bottle I don't think this is the scene this bottle of ginja expected when it left Obidos. My wife spotted this and purchased it for us. It is a reminder of our trip to Portugal and our brief visit to Obidos.
