We very much enjoy seeing cityscapes, landscapes, enormous churches, bridges, and other substantial views during our travels. These sights can be breathtaking and are definitely the highlights of many of our trips. Sometimes, though, seeing some of the smaller details is just as memorable. Whether seeing the details in artwork, architecture, or focusing on a single flower, there is a lot of beauty that is on a smaller scale. We can look back at any of our travels and point to times where we saw and captured photos of intricate details that bring back fond memories of the place that we were visiting. Our trip to Iceland was definitely a trip with substantial landscapes with volcanoes, glaciers, lava covered beaches, huge geysers, and other amazing scenery. In addition to those grand sights, there were trickling streams, frozen pools, bubbling hot springs, and smaller lava features that were just as fascinating. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, things that start with the letter I, we have chosen a few photos from Iceland that focus on some of the smaller details.

The Daily Post Photo Challenge – H2O
Capturing the motion of water can be difficult, but when it works, it can also be very beautiful. There are all sorts of opportunities to capture water in motion whether a river, waves on a beach, or a tropical waterfall. Even with all of those choices, for this week’s challenge of H2O we went back to perhaps a more simplistic view, an urban view, the water flowing from fountains in various forms. It is a constant all over the world, wherever you go you will find beautiful waterfalls, but sometimes the water itself steals the show and not the ornate statues that adorn the fountain itself. Here are a few of our favorite shots where the water is captured, frozen in the moment.
