This week’s photo challenge asks us to find unusual points-of-view for our photography, to find new ways of seeing our subjects. In The Road Left Behind I tried to reflect on the challenge of finding a new way to express something that must have been expressed a zillion different ways; surely there is no original way to say it – or is there?
This post was prompted by the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge.

Rob's Surf Report

Thanks. 🙂
Love it!
I aim to please!
Similar to my entry
You mean to say that your entry is similar to mine, right? I took this photo on August 31st on the way home from my niece’s birthday party, so it’s just a coincidence. Enjoy the irony – like I said, it’s hard to find something that hasn’t been found before. Just keep on plugging away at it!
Yes it’s just a coincidence. I took mine ages ago and used it in a post recently http://wp.me/p3LoF9-5W
I always enjoy your posts!
Ha ha, sorry I can get a little defensive. It’s a late night for me. Thanks for the follow-up!
🙂 I’m on the other side of the globe and it’s the middle of the morning for me! Isn’t it coincidental that we took the same shot? Just goes to show that we are all the same!
As they say, “great minds think alike.” 🙂
Exactly 🙂
nicely framed!
Thank you!
Great capture for this challenge!
Thank you!
First of all thanks for all the plingbacks … you made of my entries. This shot is truly excellent .. and love the way you have been thinking outside the box. Very interesting view … on what is left behind, through the car mirror.
And thank you for taking the time to comment. 🙂
