*** Mini Challenge #712 - Look Up! ***

I seem to be stuck on literal, rather than abstract, themes so here we go again! LOL

This week's MC theme is "Look Up!". Whether you take that literally to mean up vertically or in some less literal fashion (maybe as a warning?), feel free.

This MC will close at 9 PM US Central Time, Wednesday, September 28, 2022 (2 AM GMT, Sept. 29).

Examples to follow in a subsequent post.

Challenge Rules:

The host gives you a topic and you post up to three images that fit. Remember, it's all about fun, sharing, and learning. Any picture you have taken in person is eligible, regardless of the time taken, camera, or post-processing used. The host chooses the winners and honorable mentions and posts those in a new thread. The host's decision is final. The winner of this challenge then hosts the next challenge, judges the winner of that one, and so on it goes. The winner of this challenge will have 48 hours to post the next challenge. If that doesn't happen, 2nd place will have 24 hours to do so, then it's up to 3rd place.

Submission Posting Guidelines:

Post each one of your three submissions in its own reply to this post. Give each post a unique Subject, please. It is best to embed an image in its post rather than linking to somewhere else. Feel free to post photos "for exhibition only" if you want to share more than three, or won't be available to host the next challenge. Try to preserve the EXIF please, so we can see which camera, lens, and settings were used.

Comment Posting Guidelines:

Feel free to post comments on the images or ask for comments. Don't hesitate to click on the green "Like" thumb on the top right of the post, so we know which images were most popular. Likes are appreciated as much as constructive criticism is. The host can make up his or her own mind without being influenced by that. I wish you all "good luck" and let's see some interesting pics.

Look up!!! There's a train coming! Cheneyville, Louisiana

“Look Up” at the Century City Towers, Los Angeles

That's really nice, Richard! I see so many geometric images where the photographer didn't take the time and effort to get the perspective perfect. So my OCD-lite kicks in and I can't get around the imperfection.

This one is spot-on. Nice image.

“Look Up” Don’t blink, you’ll miss it.

“Look Up” at the well used staircase at The Getty Museum, Los Angeles

Steve Thomas

That’s funny Don, do you know what caught their attention?

That’s a good one Steve. I still have a set of 1960 Encyclopedia Britanicas that my parents bought us back in the day.

Can't remember what they were looking at, buT I know it was in Sienna, Tuscany.  Possibly a church spire.

Don

Excellent take on the assignment!

Finally remembered that they were looking at a sculpture of Remus and Romulus atop a tall column.

Thanks for an answer to the mystery 😊

My son has a Corgi, that’s the truth. Great companion to my grandsons.

Is he also the vet ?  Poor dog

Don

Look up at this pylon (a.k.a. electricity pylon).
