This is a challenge indeed! Paula from Lost in Translation has chosen March’s words and here’s my gallery below. You can make up your own minds if mine accurately match the words.
Dense
This is my mum in Ephesus, Turkey, writing her wishes. Visitors write wishes or prayors on pieces of cloth and tie them to the wall. We were on a cruise and one of the tours took us to the wishing wall at the House of the Virgin Mary. I hope hers came true.
Dusk
Taken from my garden a few weeks ago. I get quite a kick in seeing a different colour sky than blue! Although that’s not a complaint.
Illusion
A pavement drawing in chalk in Hong Kong. It seems such an effort to draw in chalk as these are only temporary. Very clever though.
Authentic
Authentic and iconic, this would be recognisable anywhere in the world. There are some similar buildings that share the sail like structures but Sydney Opera House is in a class of its own.
Bloom
Also a a recent photo from my garden. Anthony left this blooming cluster of bougainvillea when pruning the rest.

Well picked methinks – I love the first for the lovely memories it must bring and the bougainvillea for its priceless beauty 🙂 !
Thanks Eha, yes it is a lovely memory, while my mum still could think for herself
A great selection for Paula’s words Ali 😀
Thanks Brian 🙂 it’s a great challenge. Gets you thinking
My favourite. One of the first photo challenges I did some 13 years ago and is still my favourite one
Liking the 3D chalk drawing, that would have had me standing staring for quite a while. Sydney is very high on our list now. It’s knocking on our door….
Yes I did stand there a while looking at it from different angles.
You won’t be disappointed with Sydney ☺️
You definitely nailed with all these shots! The illusion drawing is amazing and I’m a bit jealous of your bougainvillea 😍
Thanks Sarah, yes the bougainvillea is gorgeous but such hard work for Anthony
The illusion is brilliant!
Thanks Anabel 🙂
Outstanding photos, Alison. Your “illusion” is fabulous. Thank you very much for your entry 🙂
Thanks Paula
I always love those 3D pavement drawings and how you really fell like you might just fall through the sidewalk into another dimension 🙂
Yes the artists are so talented
Great photo choices for the words. Mostly intrigued by the Illusion photo which I had to enlarge to understand better.
Thanks 😊
Missed this, Ali- I thought it was a long while since you posted. Does Mum live somewhere near or do you only see her on holiday? Great shots to illustrate Paula’s words xx
