Lens Artists Photo Challenge #417: Where does it Lead?
Egidio’s challenge is Where Does It Lead? He asks us “What does the title get you thinking about? Trails? Leading lines? Maybe animal tracks? There’s no single right answer, and that’s exactly the point.”
I hope these images have you wondering “where will this take me?”
Last week Ritva challenged us to show Music. Your wonderful responses had me hearing the music in my head. Thank you to everyone who joined the challenge.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #415: Move Your Body
Our host Anne is asking us to move our body up, down, forward and back to get the shot we want.
I chose galleries of three famous United State Landmarks to illustrate how I had to move my body around and look up in order to capture the subject from different angles.
The first gallery is of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. Because of it’s size, it is difficult to capture it all in one shot. I walked around the base of the arch and I had to lean way back when I looked up at the arch.
We had seen Mount Rushmore from the road as we approached the entrance to the National Monument. The first image is a view of the monument from the paved path at the entrance to the park. We walked along the path towards the monument for a closer look. We then walked along a trail beneath the monument where we had to look up to see the faces.
The last gallery shows three different views I captured of the Devil’s Tower as we walked along a trail at the base of the Tower.
Last week Ann-Christine asked us to feature images that showed Harmony. Your responses were amazing. Thank you to everyone who joined the challenge.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #414: Looking back to #44 Harmony
Ann-Christine is looking back to Tina’s Lens Artists Challenge #44 – Harmony. She describes Harmony like this: “Harmony is the combination of separate but related parts in a way that uses their similarities to bring unity to a painting, drawing, or other art object.”
I find many examples of harmony in nature. These images focus on harmony between animals of different species. Some share the same spaces to hunt for food, some share a log together for who knows what reason, and sometimes they are together to help each other out.
It was my pleasure to host the Bridge challenge last week. Your incredible images included many kinds of bridges from all around the world. I enjoyed all of them. Thank you to everyone who responded to the challenge.
Many thanks to our host Ann-Christine for this week’s challenge. If you would like to join the challenge please be sure to tag your post with Lens-Artists and include a link back to her post Lens-Artists #414: Harmony.
Be sure to check back on Saturday, September 26 at noon eastern time when Anne will have another great challenge for us.
