In Sarah’s Friendly Friday’s Challenge the topic is “Framing your photos naturally”. I am always on the lookout for unusually framed photos and often cross the road back and forth to see it at the right angle, well sometimes, not the one from the beach where I just sat and focused!

Thanks for this great selection of framed images – just the sort of thing I had in mind when I posted the challenge! I wish I’d thought to include the Pak Ou caves in my own post – I was only there a few years ago but they completely slipped my mind when looking for examples to share!
It’s difficult to know what to search for through the archives, unless you have a photographic memory 😂
Exactly! But that trip was so recent I should have thought of them 😆
What a unique theme! You have so many wonderful photographs which fit. I would only have a few, but now it is something I will keep in mind on our travels. Beautiful photos, too!
Thanks Betty, it’s a great way of making an ordinary view extraordinary!
Lovely selection!
Thanks Anabel 😊
I assume the last one is a growing hedge, amazing.
Yes I spotted it while walking around in Hobart, such a work of art
Thanks for your comments 🙂
Really great examples, Alison. I love these kind of shots and you have some superb ones.
Thanks so much Jo 😊
I always love the pictures you find for these challenges! All of them are so beautiful framed by the natural world around them 🙂
Thanks for your lovely comments Meg 🙂
