In the WordPress weekly photo challenge this week’s topic is the Sun, “in all its glory” as part of the photo composition. (Sunsets were a previous challenge.)
Because I have no lens filters, these entries show mostly raw white sunlight, but they were taken in some fun places, and I do like silhouettes. The first one is a halo behind Big Ben mid-afternoon…
The next was taken from the end of a wharf in San Franciso – the sun peeking over clouds & highlighting a sea gull…
The last two were taken at my house. The first after a snowstorm over a year ago…
Here’s a cropped version of that one that gives it a different feel…
The last one I took in my back yard yesterday…
That’s my sunny side!

Lovely! I especially adore the San Francisco photograph as that is where I now call home. Did you take all of these photos yourself?
Oh, and thank you for stopping by my blog http://www.lifemindvitamin.com! I wouldn’t have found your lovely photos had you not!

Thanks so much so visiting me as well! I did take these all myself. We used to live in the Bay Area and were thrilled to get back there for a bit a few years ago. London was a trip we did with our niece – always a great trip!

Funnily enough, I love snow (it’s the melty, slushy bit that I don’t really like!) and sunshine on snow always makes for magical photos. Love the Big Ben photo the most though! Thanks for sharing them 🙂

Thanks! I feel the same about the snow.- it would be great if it would just not fall on the streets and sidewalks, but the way it covers everything else is magic!

Thee are beautiful – especially the one taken in your backyard after the snowstorm. In the first version (un-cropped) the sun actually looks like a big, bright, twinkling star sitting on top of the tree – like a Christmas tree!

The sun wasn’t the intentional subject, except for the last shot… which I think is the least successful.
