A Photo a Week Challenge: Gilded

gilded_nmp

According to the dictionary, gilded as two meanings:

  1. Covered thinly with gold leaf or gold paint.
  2. Wealthy and privileged.

Whenever we travel through Europe, churches, palaces, and theaters are resplendent with gold leaf. I took this picture inside the Budapest Cathedral. For perspective, you can see the small crowd of people in the lower left corner. Grandeur and splendor do not even begin to describe the beauty and richness of this magnificent building. To me, this picture represents both meanings of gilded, because it took great wealth and privilege to build and decorate it.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO OF GILDED OBJECTS.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Gold

Last fall, I had the privilege of taking senior photos for my nephew. My sister’s yard is an amazing place to do photo sessions, and she’s been so gracious to let me use it whenever possible. As we were walking back to the house after a few shots outside the yard, I grabbed this photo. During editing, I fell in love with how washed in gold it was. Golden Hour becomes truly golden during the fall.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO FEATURING THE COLOR GOLD.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Pink and Gold

Gold and pink by a fountainPink and gold always make me think of little girls and fancy dresses. This sweetie was playing in the fountain while we waited for the bride and groom to come out for pictures. I love how her curls glow as much as the sheen on her party dress.
