A Word A Week Photograph Challenge – Light
When I think of this word I see sunlight, the hour of soft light for photographers and dramatic lightning effects, black and white and soft moonlight. I then move onto light as in weight – feathers, seeds, pollen, blossom - light enough to be carried by the wind. I think of fire and flames that lighten the dark nights, children playing light-heartedly, and happiness in terms of light of spirit.
What does light mean to you?
Every week I will dip into my old English Oxford dictionary and pick a word on the page that it falls open at. The challenge is to post a photograph, poem, story – whatever the genre you like best to describe of what that word means to you.
Please link back to my challenge page so others can take part if they wish. Because I really enjoy the posts of bloggers who pick up the gauntlet and because they are so good and many have put so much effort into them I am also going to reblog some of the participants entries each week to share with you. Now please remember to add a tag ‘A Word A Week Challenge’ to your post so I don’t miss anyone’s post.
Here are some of my favourite ‘light’ photographs.






































Which one is the best. ALL of them!. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful!!

Skyscrapers at night have never looked better. Love the perspective and the light you were able to capture even in the dark! You are incredible! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com

Wonderful shots Suelle !
A delicious sequence of photos, as ever, Sue. Such a colourful world you inhabit! I start by thinking “oh that monastery shot is fabulous”, then “oh that leaf shot is fabulous” and it just goes on and on. (I know, not unlike myself!)
so beautiful!
What a variety of objects … all fantastic. The Chinese dragon and the Petronas Twin Towers my favorite. ..
Wonderful photos, and good point about the varied meanings of light!
Brilliant and stunning photos

You take the most interesting pictures. Love them all!
Here is mine:

Absolutely stunning pictures. I was mesmerized when I came across the dragon and truly loved the one where there are people are covered in what I can best describe as fireflies even though I’m sure that’s not what they are.
Can I ask a favour? It would be awesome if you could include captions (or a title to your pictures if you don’t want to have space between all of them) indicating where you took those pictures
I’d love to know where I’m excited to go travel to
Cheers! -Jonathan
Stunning.
