The Sunday Challenge: Books

The Sunday Challenge: Words I shot this on a white sheet of poster paper that picked up the reflection of color from the book to give it a bit of an orange glow at the bottom. I made a frame using a black background and the erase tool in various brush widths to make the stars. For a history of Robby the Robot, check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robby_the_Robot . TSCIMG 3678

"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: There sleeps Titania sometime of the night," From Act II, Scene 1 of a Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. Taken for The Sunday Challenge: Books The book used was The Annotated Shakespeare, A. L. Rowse, editor. The texture used was created by Kerstin Frank and can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/kerstinfrank-design/14670997398/in/photolist-omqGp1-oxqXjY-oMTPKY-owVSzM-oNsueh-ofAVY1-oxrgaf-ofGihH-op2n2u-oT67hh-oS6DJm-onTpK9-oLTF8t-oT5SGj-opNWPk-oR2Gst-o7U7vZ-oKXEmk-orqNT7-ouJgUL-owwjKw-oLhipg-pcmEdK-ouwC7S-pa9iQk-oNK3HD-p7Bmy7-okUuiD-oPZNfG-oxc54t-otwGuS-pgAGVm-o7U6qc-p1kurg-opnm6o-ouHvXK-p3HFtB-oj7Z3b-oHgf9f-oHZMbh-p4mxNB-oVHhrN-p6eJGw-o7NFEg-oQ8tur-pj2F9y-ouUgkv BIMG 4319

For The Sunday Challenge: Prop box. I don't have a prop box so I ran all over the house, raiding the bookshelf, my husband's closet, his old Halloween costume and the walls for this shot. CIMG 3034

Doge's Palace - Doge Francesco Foscari kneeling before the winged lion which has long been the symbol of Venice. The winged lion is also one of the symbols of the apostle, Mark the Evangelist , who has been the the city's patron saint since his remains were allegedly stolen from a tomb in Alexandria, Egypt, and brought to Venice in 828 AD. The lion's paw rests on an open book that contains the words, "Pax tibi, Marce, Evangelista meus," which translates to "Peace be upon you, O Mark, my Evangelist." AIMG_4741
