Welcome to Week 41 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge. Last week’s challenge was extremely popular, as the world is filled with animal lovers of all kinds who love sharing images of those animals.  You were simply magnificent in your contributions!

This week’s challenge is a little different, but I figure that you may have come to expect that.  It gives a chance to do some story telling through your images, as your photo should relate the concept of Abandoned.  There are many directions, in which you can take this challenge, ranging from abandoned buildings to objects, or any other sense of abandonment that crosses your creative minds.

As usual feel free to stretch this week’s theme in any direction that you might want, as there are no boundaries and no goals other than to have fun!

Here’s a bit of a quirky take on the theme…

The-Lonely-Onion
The Lonely Onion

This shot came about, as I walked across a frosty parking lot after having lunch at a pizzeria; I figured that this onion may have found out that it was on the menu and decided to make a roll for it.

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Looking forward to seeing the animals in your lives and what they do for their entertainment (and ours).  Be creative, have fun, and always be kind to animals!

  1. Strangely, no image showing here!! Maybe it’s taken the topic to heart and left !!!! 🙂

    1. Just checked from my browser and it does show the lonely onion

    2. Judith, it appears to show up for others; can you see it at this point?

      Thanks,

      Frank

      1. Ha ha – it has reappeared ….. – and a very fine onion it is too !!! (It’s obviously had a very refreshing walk off screen in the meantime!!!) 🙂

      2. It probably went for a walk to get a breath mint 🙂

  2. A lonely onion, forgotten and discarded like a lost relationship. The more you peel back the layers looking for the truths and wrongs of love, the more intense become the emotions – the eyes sting and the tears flow. When you reach the centre all that is left is a small onion piece to remind you of the ring you’ll never have. Still, this is a very clear picture a challenge to my imagination.

  3. Love the onion photo Frank, definitely quirky. This should be an interesting theme, if I can get home from my camping trip in time to post something!

    1. Thank you, Miriam! Enjoy your camping trip; no pressure to get anything in, as relaxation is key!

      1. Spot on Frank, thanks!

  15. Hi Frank, Loved this Onion Photo the first time you posted it and even more now. 🙂 This challenge wasn’t an easy one for me. It dawned on me that I didn’t actually have photos of abandoned properties or objects – Now I have a task to look around for those incase of future photo themes, lol. Well, I hope that the ruins of an old Castle is good enough entry for this challenge. Kindly take a peek. 🙂

  24. Hi, Frank, the owner of the onion didn’t know how much he/she has lost. It looks so fresh and takes the imagination to a nice dish. I thought I didn’t have any photos to meet the challenge, so I took some new photos. As I browsed through my photos for another post, I found a theme of photos. Here is my contribution:

    1. Miriam, I agree…it just goes to show that even an onion will only take so much abuse before escaping 🙂

      Your post is fantastic with some really interesting photos!

      1. Thank you, I took more than those, but some have darker backgrounds!
