Scavenger Hunt Sunday: Ahts Edition

Street Photography:
One thing I love about Boston is the old cobble stone streets that are all around the city! This is at Quincy Market, so it's a promenade not a real street, but plenty of actual streets are like this too!

From a Distance:
This was a public art project at the Ahts Festival. Anyone could paint and it will be hung up somewhere in the city. I just loved looking at the mural from this view - and seeing the kids painting from a distance.

Sunday:
Keeping it real. Today, this is the mountain of readings and work I have to tackle. Now that school and classes are in full swing, this is what most Sundays will look like, with the occasional break for football...

Liquid:
When I saw this prompt I instantly thought about blowing glass and the demo at the festival. When glass is being made it's partially a liquid - and glass is often considered a supercooled liquid, rather then a solid. All glass starts in a molten liquid form!

Behind:
I just meant to walk around the mural being painted at the festival, and much to my surprise, people had painted from behind too!

Haha...love your "ahts" phonetically written. Ahhh, Boston. Love that city, our first choice to live in when first married but we couldn't afford it! Hard to pick a favorite here, your entire set is wonderful! Love the perspective, colors and subject matter of "distance" prompt capture. Love the texture and composition of your "street photography". And I think it is super cool h ow you caught the reflection of that guy in the glass blowing bubble of your "liquid" shot. LOTS to love
here :). Have a great week!
