Lens Artists Photo Challenge #297 – Music to my Eyes

For this challenge Egidio asks us “do you believe you can “see” music in your photographs?”. He also asks “What music do you hear in your photos?”

Our RV travels are over now but from 2006 to 2019 the Wandering Dawgs towed our fifth wheel trailer from Georgia to most of the United States and several Canadian Provinces. We would leave home, sometimes for two to four months at a time, and return home to Georgia to rest up for our next adventure. I created play lists filled with traveling tunes according to where our wandering was taking us.

Every time we started a new journey we would play Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again. My header image is of one of the many roads we traveled in Alaska. I can’t see the next few images without thinking of a song from my travel playlists.

North to Alaska by Johnny Horton

Miles and Miles of Texas by Asleep at the Wheel

Rocky Mountain High by John Denver

Smooth as Tennessee Whiskey by George Jones

The Georgia state song of Georgia on my Mind by either Willie Nelson or Ray Charles.

Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett. Although we didn’t take our RV to Key West we visited there many times.

My last song and image have nothing to do with traveling. Henry and I recently watched the movie “Moonstruck” with the song That’s Amore sung by Dean Martin. It’s been almost a week since we watched it and I still can’t get the song out of my head.

When the moon hits your eye like a big Pizza Pie, that’s amore

Many thanks to our host Egidio for this fun challenge Lens-Artists #297 – Music to my Eyes

  1. Beth, what a trip down memory lane you gave me. Besides your beautiful photos, the music you picked for each image was spot on! From Willie Nelson to Dean Martin, this was a tremendous soundtrack. Thanks for the music and photos!

  2. LOL for your closer Beth – now I have the same earworm (do you know that expression?). Loved the images and the songs that matched them so well! Fun to use your travels as the subject for the song challenge!

  4. You really did an excellent job with this challenge. I have never associated my pictures with music, so I am glad to have perspective to consider. I love that movie “Moonstruck.”

    1. Thanks Betty! One reason I enjoy doing the photo challenges is because I learn new ways to look at my photos. It was fun looking through my photos to match the songs we listened to as we traveled. “Moonstruck” is one of my favorite movies. We watched it the night before the full moon last week. La Bella Luna!

  5. Fun for us to see your photos and the music to go with them. You picked some good ones, and When the moon hits your eye like a big Pizza Pie, that’s amore will be with me all day. It also reminded me of all the crooners from back in the day. Thanks for the smile.
