It’s Friday which means that it is time for Cee’s and Marsha’s Photographing Public Art Challenge. This week I think it is Cee’s turn to explore art in public places, and I thought this sculpture with tree in Olhão would be perfect for both #TreeSquare and #PPAC. It is part of a public sculpture trail in the back streets of Olhao, and many of you may recall the unusual tale behind it from Blue Squares. Ooh blue, if it worked for blue squares maybe Jude will like it for her month of blue.

Nothing so original from me for day 9:

I didn’t realise how many photos I had of trees in mist and fog until I started editing squares.

amazing how our eye is drawn to the same thing again and again

I wonder if it’s because it’s a way of showing depth in a two dimensional photo with trees receding into the fog/mist.
