~ September Words ~

This is a challenge hosted by Paula @ Lost in Translation, asking for photos to match the words she chooses every month. It’s a new one for me and I really had to look hard through my archives for photos to match these intriguing words.

Atmospheric

The Fairmont Hotel, Banff

Emblematic

Kangaroos, Western Australia

Fractured

Icebergs in Iceland

Touristy

Tour Groups in Ephesus, Turkey

Typical

Just a typical rush hour, Central, Hong Kong

Thanks Paula, I had a great time with this challenge, it took a while but a wonderful way to while away the time. It brought back many good memories of times gone by.

Hi A nanny of two and a mum of two adult children, mum to two fur babies and wife of one. I love to travel and up until recently travelled the world, now exploring Western Australia! I play bridge, board games, read dance and blog in my spare time.

  2. I’m glad you’ve discovered and joined this challenge, it’s one of my favourites! Your choices are all great matches for the words. The Ephesus one made me gulp, but Iceland is my favourite 🙂

    1. Thanks Sarah, it’s a great challenge and I had to think about each word, looking forward to the next one. It’s a good way also to look through the archives and throw out some of the old photos

  3. The icebergs on the shoreline is a worthy of an award. I’ve seen something like that in Alaska. I wonder how they get so close to shore because 90% of an iceberg is submerged they say.

    1. Lucky you, we were on a cruise with my mum and dad and they got lost, I was standing up high to see if I could see them, my dad had a turquoise shirt on..seemed to be the colour of choice for most old men 🤣

  7. well-chosen photos to match the words! Fractured and the iceberg photo resonate with me the most. I wish I could see that iceberg before it’s even more fractured and melted. May I know where in Iceland this is?

    1. Thanks Amor, I think it was Jokularson. It was part of a five day tour we did with Icelandic Air a few years ago from the UK. Was a fabulous trip

      2. I can imagine! They are quite far apart. I suppose the East side of Canada would be close to Iceland
        Depends on how long you plan to be away

      3. Oh hahah I meant three separate trips, but those 3 countries, for some reason, intimidate me. I’m thinking summer in Iceland, winter in Finland and summer in Canada, or summer in Alaska/Seattle. 🙂 Oh well dreaming about them is free and stress free hahah. I’ll dream for now. 🙂

      4. Happy dreaming, you can always you tube those places, my husband spends ages watching you tube travel videos!

  11. Thank you so much for accepting the challenge, Ali. When were you in Turkey? Did you like Ephesus? Could this be the same lagoon in Iceland as in my photo? Beautiful shots, all of them. So glad to have you join.

    1. Thanks, maybe 2014. We took my mum and dad on a Mediterranean cruise. Had the best time with them. There were tours to suit everyone
