Lens-Artists Challenge #269: On the Edge

lens-artists

Patti wants us to explore “the edges.”

What have you captured “On the Edge” of buildings, cliffs, rivers, beaches, tables, shelves, your finger, or your dinner plate? Feel free to use any kind of edge you can think of. You can also take the theme sideways…veering off into another meaning of “on the edge.” Think of “unconventional” or “edgy” or “avant garde.”

Lets go back and think about this, I was never afraid to be on the edge until recently as I’ve developed some balance problems, I don’t trust myself not to fall. And I have lived on the edge in many of my decisions, like moving to another country on a whim… no more about that.

Patti’s images are are beautiful, check them out be inspired.

This swimmer is certainly On the edge of the cliff

I was looking at Janet’s post and this came to mind. Kid’s, grandkids – there is a difference how treat them, I knew what my kid’s were able to do, I trusted their skills. I certainly was not on the edge with them as I am with my son’s boy’s. I know they are very active and sporty boys, but as my youngest grand kid was on that edge I was so anxious that he would fall down. My son, not so much 🙂

This is from Australia, taken from the twelve apostles. I was more than once on the edge when I took these photos.

This is from last night, I saw Patti’s post and same time I was watching soccer with my husband and enjoying a glass of wine and the players came on the edge of my glass. ( I have to say it took many, many shot to get them right on the edge.) Not much of a picture, but I had fun with it.

I was hanging literally over the edge to get this lizard shots

Point Lobos State Natural Reserve

Often when taking landscape pictures of cliffs, you need to go to the edge to get a nice one, or that is my way of thinking.

Once again reaching out of the edge to get a nice shot, this time of the sphinx on the edge..

Lets relax on the edge of the hill enjoy the view of the valley below.

Or at the edge of the water

  3. What fun, Ritva! I got a laugh from the soccer player at the edge of your glass! The lizard is a great capture, too. Your landscapes are beautiful, as always. I especially love the last two.

  5. Lots of fine edges Ritva – loved the wine glass, so creative! Also loved your grandson and your thoughts on your level of concerns vs with your son! Terrific post as always.

  7. I so enjoy your beautiful images of edge. The wine glass is really cool. Love your thought of your grandson, such a wonderful capture. Great post, Ritva!

  8. A beautiful post again, Ritva! I can so relate to the difference between children and grandchildren – how I feel when they are playing and climbing…
    Love all your edges – and the humourous football glass too. My favourite is the lizard.

  9. Great photos. Love the colors in the banner shot. The Apostles are very edgy! Love that wine glass shot too. Clever!

  10. Love the lizard, the landscapes but best of all we’re the soccer players on the edge of the glass, Ritva!

  11. I love the wine-soccer shot, Ritva. What fun!! Of course I enjoyed the rest as well, especially The Twelve Apostles, and I’m glad I could inspire you to use the shot of your son and grandson. 🙂

  12. Ha, into it funny how we are different with our kids and grandkids. We were on the grand canyon with mine and I was surprised at how nervous I got. I guess it could have to do with our own ability to move around with a hop, skip and a jump. Love the lizard, and also the beach cliff. My favorite this week is the couple over looking the hillside. You capture a sentimental moment in that one.
