It is fair to say that over the past few months, the view outside of our window has changed on a weekly basis. Often, just for ourselves, we will take photos from our hotel room or even through the windows of some historic location that we are visiting. For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week, Inner and Outer, we decided to revisit a few of these images. There are some definite variations of looking out upon the world that surrounds us. In some ways, it reminds us that we simply need to step through the threshold and seek the world and it will open itself before your very eyes.

There is something absolutely mesmerizing about watching a geyser as it is about to erupt. The pure energy and raw force of such a natural phenomenon are amazing to view, especially close up. The way that nature heats water buried below the surface, allowing it to escape as sudden burst of steam, and then repeating the cycle over an over again that is almost hypnotic to watch. To see such small amounts of water convert into huge plumes of shimmering vapor is truly spectacular. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Big and Small, we decided to share a few photos of the famous Geyser in Iceland. We really enjoyed seeing the natural wonder during our visit there this past February.
When traveling, you often see a contrasts between the old and the new living side-by-side. It can be as simple as a satellite dish on an building that is hundreds of years old or as complex as historic building surrounded by modern skyscrapers. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Old and New, we have chosen a few images that invoke the balance between growth and change and the desire to hold on to the past. It is a complex topic, the desire to capture time in a bottle for everyone to see for generations to come and the need for a society to move forward and grow into the future. It is easy as an American, with a limited history, to want the rest of the world to be frozen in time, just for us to see what it was like in the past rather than just another modern city. Like it or not, the world moves forward, cities and people evolve, time is the ultimate conqueror of everything. Enjoy what you can see while you can because more than likely, one day it will be gone, which isn’t always a bad thing, it just means that life is moving forward.
