The Photography Contest Game

From my Flickr

When I was a little girl my dad would take my family and me to air shows all the time, so whenever I look at this photograph I feel an intense sense of nostalgia for my childhood.

Summers that revolved around the swing and the hose

for as long as I can remember, inner city women have sold flowers from huge stalls on the two main shopping streets. I used to love choosing some as part of my mother's birthday present each year.

I took this one on my 35 mm because my digital is out of order when I was on a road trip this summer through Alabama I just loved the country side.

This step was in a doorway of an 11th century Saxon church.
Thousands of people over nine-hundred years have stepped on it, unaware that they were wearing it away. I didn't break the tradition.
I have never seen a step so distressed as this.

next theme is:

the CONTRAST between old and new- one image that captures something modern with a view of what used to be. tradition verses the trends of today. open to interpretation, cant wait to see everyones ideas...

Great theme! I instantly thought about this sculpture in front of Saint-Eustache in Paris:
