Photo Hunt - Skinny


The subject for this week's entry for Photo Hunt is skinny. The photo is of course Cleopatra's Needle... A needle is thin; thin is much the same as skinny so a needle will be skinny.... And so we have another photo hunt post with a tenous link to the subject of the week!

Nice shot!

Liz Hinds said...

That's a brilliant photo as always. Very - oh, what's the word? Not evocative. Sort of moody and setting a scene.
Atmospheric! That's it.

Happy Birthday Mimi!

That's not a tenuous connection - looks thoroughly skinny to me!
The B/W shot through winter trees is art.

I can see that that's not the Cleopatra Needle in London which I've seen so many times - but not this one! Great photo!
Happy weekend
