For a long time diagonals have been part of my compositional treasure chest, so Paula’s challenge for once asks me for something familiar. This photo was taken in a Warsaw shopping complex composed of glass and reflections, and because I was a floor away I was brave enough to steal the images of people getting ready in a variety of ways for the day’s work.

Good choice for diagonals, Meg….my eyes stray to the edge of the frame, what/who is beyond!

I love your compositional treasure chest, Meg 🙂 That’s just about my level of bravery too. Sunday drizzly hugs 😦

Still drizzle? Have we cornered the market for sun in the northern hemisphere?? I got a bit more daring and got a good shot of the stall opposite the apartment the other day: maybe taking this one increased my bravery quotient. Watch out next market! I have my Polish at the ready: “Czy mogę prosze?” (Points to camera.) Sunshine-and-pink-dawn hugs to you.

Hugs accepted. 🙂 Swirly fog this morning. Might be better…. I keep meaning to ask- do you have a Polish keyboard? You’re always so precise with your accents. In comments I can rarely be bothered (you’ll have noticed 🙂 ) It took me a while to do all the accents in today’s post, cutting and pasting.

The iPad has a keyboard that’s easy to switch to: even corrects spelling. On one notorious occasion I managed to convert it to the Cyrillic alphabet and then couldn’t read anything to convert back!

Chuckling! I’ll have to get me one of these fancy new-fangled machines 🙂 Dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st 🙂 My son kept telling me they were bad news and I’d be hopeless with one. Who am I to argue?

Oh, argue! I use mine all the time, and now I’ve gone mini, I’m even more of an addict.

I love looking down on to things, Shapes and patterns form that you have no idea about from the same level and your diagonals are inspiring. A black and white masterpiece.

Wow! Thank you. I agree about views from above: I’ve got a few beauties of Warsaw, from the top of Stalin’s Gift and from a viewing terrace above Castle Square.

This looks like a high-tech market. Wonderful submission Meg. You do urban as successfully as beaches 🙂

Thank you for your praise, which is praise indeed – unless you think my beach photos are awful!!!
It was a stand within a very new shopping complex which features in my latest post, along with a colour version of this photo. It was a bit of a surprise to see it in the middle of glass and reflections.

Just suffering a rare insecure day. Went to the hairdresser and couldn’t communicate. As a result I now have a fringe. And an Australian friend is too busy for friendship – I find that inconceivable!

Too busy? Maybe she is just jealous of your new fringe 😀 😉
