Rear views

Late as usual...

Here are my "taken from behind" pics for TP 209:

Changing the guard at Ataturk's Mausoleum.
Ankara, Turkey.


 Kids messing about at the harbour. Tauranga, New Zealand.



 A boy and his dog:



A favourite photo of my grandaughter, aged about 18 months:

 


My son walks ahead of me down an alley in Barcelona:

  2. As always, excellent. I especially like the guards -- although I'm now humming that Yo-He-Ho, Yo-o tune from The Wizard of Oz. :)

    1. But they don't have tails, Lisa...UNLESS they're hidden under those coats!

      Very nice shots, Alexia.

    1. Thanks CC I'm very attached to her myself :D.
      Sadly, her parents are about to move her and her brother to Australia.

  4. I love all the photos, and my granddaughter's is my favorite. The way her tiny form moves forward, purposely and stumbling at the same time. Totally beautiful.

  5. Oh it's never too late, TP goes on all week! Especially since life/work get in the way of blogging all the time! These are just great rear views, I can hear their footsteps pounding together as they march, and I remember this darling photo of your grand-daughter, it's so special! May I say again, I really like what you've done to your blog, it's very stunning and has such a comfy feel when I visit!

  8. Nice shots Alexia. How difficult is it to get on to that island off Tauranga?

    1. No island there, Kiwi - the kids are on a jetty on the Tauranga side of the harbour; the "hill" in the background is Mount Maunganui.

      Thanks :)

    2. Oh yeah, I see. We go to the Mount for our late Summer hols. and we went out Dolphin watching once and would like to see a bit more of it.

  11. What an awesome series! I love how in every case, the camera is so perfectly removed from what's going on. They don't know you're there...and as a result their behaviors are completely untouched by what you're doing. Natural. Real. Superb in every way, and they remind me why I love to both take pictures, and appreciate those taken by friends.
