team up thursday - week 6





Unbelievable - we are at week 6 with our team up thursday photos....

This weeks theme is chosen by Marcelle and it is:
10 mins from home....

Honestly first time I heard about that I was a little overcharged - as the weeks before we had very simpe themes like yellow, cubes, sports ...... and for me this was a little "out of the box" as Marcelle sometimes say. So when we talked on the phone Marcelle told me that we have to walk exactly 10 minutes from our door and then we have to take a photo. My first thought my photo would be all green as I am living on the outskirts of Munich and there is a lot of  trees and green around. My oh my  - I never thought that the day I will take the photo it is aaaalllll grey in grey instead of green. I took my photo yesterday and since I opened my eyes  in the morning was raining cats and dogs. I hoped for a ray of sunshine or at least 10 minutes without rain but noooo chance. So I walked around with my umbrella and my cam around my neck and walked my usual route which I "normally" run  - I say normally because I didn't do that run for more than 10 days. And normally after 5 minutes I turn to the left and run this way as it is nicer and in the forest and today I walked straight on and came to that "grit factory" - I knew that it is there but never thought about taking a photo of that. But today I thought - why not - and so I did. But when I came home and checked the photo I found it all grey in grey - sky grey - factory grey  - street grey and I HATE grey these days so I decided to "play a little with the color". So now it looks a little little "warmer" but still ... hmmmmm.... not my best shot but these are also not my best days as it is beginning to bother me a lot - this ugly weather here in Munich.



I love Marcelles photo as  it has lots of colors in it and I love that thing in front of the hose - although I don't know what it is - is it a light bulb? Anyway I like it because of the colors and the style - very modern and stylish. 

With this weeks photo Marcelle again shows that she is walking around very considerate and open minded regarding our theme. I cannot tell enough how I love this "project" -  let me see the world and everything around with different eyes - it opens my mind and my thoughts, my imagination and my fantasy. And again I want to say thank you to Marcelle for being my partner here and for all the ideas and thought-provoking- impulses and not least the great and interesting chats we had and hopefully have in the future.

  2. You guys are really coming up with some FUN themes! I love this one -Corey and I are going to have to do it! Your photo is perfect (black & white) as it compliments a cement company (I'm guessing by the truck) so well - nicely done. I'm SO GLAD you're both here every week! GREAT POST. Always fun to drop by.

  3. What a great theme idea!! I'm putting it on my list. I think I too would expect to get all green here, but glad you found out otherwise. Now I'm curious as to what I'd find. Great job, team.

  4. People are visiting but not leaving comments on the TUT...even the others who are also taking part...to think we go to their blog and leave comments they come to us and dont ~ am not liking that about bloggers to be honest.
    If you visit why not leave a :) or Hallo..but something to let you know they visited, now we have to rely on our *gadget* to see who visits.

  8. Hello again,

    Great theme - I love the contrast between your 'grey' photo and Marcy's colourful one. The two photos speak volumes.

    I'm loving being part of this weekly challenge and seeing how each person inteprets their word so differently.

    And it's great to get us 'thinking out the box!'

  9. i like the processing on your photo -- really fits the scene well. i love the idea of "10 minutes from home" -- what a great way to really "see" the everyday around you!

  10. Hi Kerstin, sorry I am dropping in so late - yesterday was MANIC....my daughter turned 12 and that kinda says it all.

    I loved your photo this week even though it isn't your favourite, I am a fan of photography that is unexpected, who would think of photographing a factory and making it art, and that is exactly what it is ART - you should offer it to the owners of the building they would probably love to have it.

    Well done to both you and Marcelle.
