Click on photos to enlarge and better make out the different elements.

NOTE: I saw “Five Elements” in the prompt and just naturally thought, “Air, earth, water, fire” and I saw “Metal” before I started finding photos. It wasn’t until after I posted and saw the posts of others that I realized “wood’ had been substituted for “air.” I guess 5 of the photos include wood by accident, so I’m covered. Next time I’ll read more carefully and not presume! 

In most cases, fire in these photos is represented by the reflections of the sun. Air is ever-present, especially in photos of the small toy metal figures suspended in parachutes. In one case, metal is shown in the wire of the fence as well as the car made out by its headlights. In another, by the metal boat. The other larger images of cars are obvious.

 

For the Lens Artist Challenge: We were asked to post photos that included the 5 elements of air, earth, water, fire and metal.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    I saw “Five Elements” and just naturally though, “Air, earth, water, fire” and I saw “Metal” before I started finding photos. It wasnt’ until after I posted and saw the posts of others that I realized “wood’ had been substituted for “air.” I guess at least some of the photos include wood by accident. Next time I’ll read more carefully and not presume!
