Last week, we were on the island of Kauai for a friend’s wedding. One of the places we visited was Hanalei Bay. (Is everyone now humming Puff the Magic Dragon? I hope so.) This pier is one of the most photographed places at the bay. It offers an amazing view of the beginning of the Na Pali coast and the bay. We found that the view under the pier was as interesting as on top.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A SET OF PHOTOS SHOWING THINGS FROM ABOVE AND BELOW (OR THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM).

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography. Here’s how it works:

  1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
  2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
  3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.

A Photo a Week Challenge: From Above

Okay, in all fairness, I didn’t take this picture. Our daughter took it for us. When we visited Chicago in December, we went to the top of the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower). It was a lot of fun to stand on a very thick piece of plastic and pretend to be afraid. The view was amazing. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I didn’t take any pictures of just the view. My bad. And just in case you think I was afraid to step all the way out and let go of the frame, here’s another.

A Photo a Week Challenge: From Above

Texas State Capitol building rotunda

It’s amazing how different things can look depending on our location. This week’s challenge is to find a unique perspective from above. This was taken at the State Capitol Building in Austin, Texas. We were on the fourth floor of the rotunda and looked down to the crowd milling around on the main floor.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT ARE TAKEN FROM ABOVE YOUR SUBJECT.

Have fun experimenting with heights and different angles.  Then blog them and post a link to your masterpieces here.
