portuguese laundry

One thing I find so charming about Portugal is the laundry hung on balconies and clotheslines.  Because Portuguese buildings are often colorful yet decrepit, the background and the laundry together make for picturesque scenes.

“PHOTOGRAPHY” INVITATION:  I invite you to create a photography intention and then create a blog post for a place you have visited. Alternately, you can post a thematic post about a place, photos of whatever you discovered that set your heart afire. You can also do a thematic post of something you have found throughout all your travels: churches, doors, people reading, people hiking, mountains, patterns, all black & white, whatever!

You probably have your own ideas about this, but in case you’d like some ideas, you can visit my page: photography inspiration.

I challenge you to post no more than 20-25 photos and to write less than 1,500 words about any travel-related photography intention you set for yourself. Include the link in the comments below by Wednesday, July 17 at 1:00 p.m. EST.  When I write my post in response to this challenge on Thursday, July 18, I’ll include your links in that post.

This will be an ongoing invitation, every first, second, and third (& 5th, if there is one) Thursday of each month (I’ve now added the second Thursday). Feel free to jump in at any time. 🙂

I hope you’ll join in our community. I look forward to reading your posts!

the ~ wander.essence ~ community

I invite you all to settle in and read a few posts from our wandering community.  I promise, you’ll be inspired!

• Jo, of RestlessJo, climbed up a hill for a view over Velas, in the Azores, and captured some mystical views.
  • A Scoot Up a Hill!

Thanks to all of you who shared posts on the “photography” invitation. 🙂
