#SundayStills – Signs of Autumn


How can one tell when autumn is in the air?

When the leaves turn a beautiful deep shade of red
When the trees in the mountains are layered in different shades of green and yellow

CFFC: Here Comes the Sun


First time trying to match a photo to song lyrics, the song given is Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles. I fear I might had botched the meaning but this is how I interpreted this section of the song:

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #161: Feet and Shoes


This week, on Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #161, Ann-Christine assigned, in my opinion, a rather strange topic – Feet and Shoes.

Immediately, this picture sprang to mind. I shot this during my last visit to China in 2018 when I visited the museum in my hometown. It was quite an interesting tour as I got to see the transition from eastern culture to western culture. Though they look real, these are actually plastic figures to illustrate the point of opening the first shopping mall in China.

Is it weird I still have these boots? Even after 5 years? I should’ve thrown them away long ago – they are so incredibly heavy that each step I take feels like I’m dragging bricks. It’s so hard to find winter shoes that fit these days.

Can you tell I’ve been looking forward to autumn? 😄

A Photo a Week Challenge: Natural Lighting
