Hi Catherine,

I have to say, I take way more nature photos than city ones—that explains it ;) ... Still, I managed to find a few: the gilded details of Versailles

vs. the Burmese gold

Hi,

Metal / wreckage that welcomes passengers disembarking on the bush airstrip in Mikumi, Tanzania ... 😕



....

Hello,

Oh, you like planes, huh? 😮

Personally, my thing is boats—especially cargo ships!









And so on, and so forth—especially since I lost my external hard drive, so now I have to dig up photos from the blog, enlarge them, and the quality isn’t great. 😕

They’re tall, they’re strong, they’re beautiful. They brave the storms. And... I love them.

What are they doing?

"Metal (Machine) Music" (Lou Reed)



Seattle (US): The Jimi Hendrix bronze statue, called "The Electric Lady Studio Guitar", in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Jimi with his Stratocaster...



Paris: The Stravinsky Fountain. Created in the 80s by artists Jean Tinguely (yes, him!) and Niki de Saint Phalle: Tinguely’s sculptures are made of steel and aluminum, painted black, while Saint Phalle’s are colorful and not metallic. In total, sixteen black and colorful sculptures adorn the fountain, animated by water jets. The fountain pays tribute to the great Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. His music (including The Firebird and The Nightingale) inspired the sixteen mobile, spurting sculptures placed in a large rectangular basin. A lovely spot right in the heart of the French capital, where you could find a bit of peace (at least when I was there).

I also love ferries or mixed cargo ships that let me leave for or return from vacation....

They took part in the carnival (Cape Verde, 2009).

Can this count as metal?

The idea of metal/metallic is definitely there.

Awesome! I’ll enter the other one from the same band in the contest then 😉

To go with the plov...

What is it? (this last photo?)

Reykjavík Phallological Museum In 2008, during the Beijing Olympics, the Icelandic team won the silver medal in handball. To pay tribute to them, the Icelandic Phallus Museum had special trophies made—replicas of the original from the handball players.

It's a cow head made of wrought iron.

Oh yeah, even in New York, I photograph wildlife 😄 Next to the octopus, the animals' feast...
