The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Patti.

A superb theme this week, but they always are.  As it is now halfway through the week, and I have a penchant for wasting huge volumes of time, I’m scrambling to whittle a lengthy assemblage of photos into one visually digestible.  HereItIs.

The Guggenheim Museum in New York City, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright:

Motorcycles and scooters in, where else, Italy.  Genoa, to be exact.  From a high point:

An Amado Pena puzzle (one of my favorite Western artists), which I had assembled but found missing pieces.  I sent photos and he provided every one:

Nature’s art, a glacier in Alaska, as seen 10+ years ago from a float-plane ride around Denali Peak:

A fish not-out-of-water, again naturally abstract:

Alexander Calder’s ‘6 Dots Over A Mountain’, at the Denver Botanic Gardens 2 years ago summertime:

And now for something completely different, this is other-worldly, if not abstract.  I stumbled upon a snapshot of my long-gone Sony Mavica FD-91 camera that used the small, hard, floppy disks.  Probably my first digital camera.  I remember scrambling around Amsterdam looking for a box of 25 disks, because I started shooting and quickly ran through the ones I had, as I had no computer with me to transfer the pictures.  Those were the days!

Enjoy!

Kudos to the tireless leaders of the weekly Lens-Artists challenge.
