Welcome to Week 84 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.

As I’m running a bit behind on the Round Up post for last week’s theme of Bridge, you haven’t had the opportunity to see all of the entries in one place; they are truly amazing!

This week’s theme is a bit of an indirect approach, as in the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving this week; my original leaning was toward the area of gratitude, which made me think of one of the things, for which I am thankful: Progress!

There are many ways to look at progress, and all the areas in our lives and the world, upon which it has a positive, or sometimes not so positive, impact. Go out there and find your creative take on this theme how you relate to it!  Have fun and make progress!!

Here’s a sign of progress that caught my eye last year…

Old Style!

I remember the days, when you always made sure to have enough change on you to make a phone call, in case you were stuck somewhere.  Gone are those days, as our phones travel with us, allowing us to stay in touch wherever we are.

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)!!

I’m looking forward to seeing what catches your eye this week…

  2. Oh the good ole days with payphones, being organised and having to make plans on when/where to meet…and not be late. Sometimes I feel progress is not always making things better! Lol.
    My take this week is definitely progress of the unwanted kind 😊

    1. WOW. That’s an incredible amount of loss due to climate change. Not the kind of progress we want to see.

  3. Though not that old I’m but I do miss that old dial phone in my home, whose receiver weighed more than a pound I think 😀

    1. I definitely miss my black rotary phone. I thought of it as a combo communication device and potential weapon for an intruder! Those things were heavy!! I also liked the satisfaction of slamming down the receiver instead of just “clicking off.”

      1. It’s not the same with a mobile phone 🙂

  6. Thank you for this lovely prompt Frank and here in the Highlands we still see the occasional phone box in remoter areas where masts and signals do not reach! My contribution for this week is about the progress from Autumn to Winter, about letting go and looking forward to the new at the same time: https://whippetwisdom.com/2017/11/21/haibun-north-wind-in-november/

    1. Wonderful post, Xenia! Eivor and Pearl are looking very nice in their winter jackets!

      1. Thank you Frank! ☺🙋‍♀️🐕

  7. Hi Frank, creative challenge! I’m in.

    Did you link to my post for “bridge”? I didn’t see it.
    Blessings to you and grateful for these photo challenges. 💜

    1. I haven’t finished the round up yet. It will publish tomorrow.

      1. Oh good, got it Frank. Sorry about that – I thought I missed it (sometimes I don’t get the notification for some reason). You may need to get an assistant soon, just to go through all the contributions!!! Fun part-time position for a young person, maybe? 🙂
        Love and Light to you. Looking forward to this week’s challenge. Debbie

  8. I love it! The kids and I enjoy spending free time geocaching. If you stumble upon a pay phone (yes we still have them in Hawaii) you are 99% guaranteed to find a geocache hiding on it some how! You should’ve seen the blank stare the kids gave me when I explained to them the history of the pay phone! What a concept! haha

  15. […] Once it was the bearer of all our news. Peacefully it carried the sorrow of a mother whose son died in the war, carried the joy of the birth of a child in the family, carried all the secrets of those lovers. The happy days are gone – slowly over time – with Progress. […]

  16. Really loved the topic – Progress creates completely different ideas in different mind.

  23. Your photo for this new challenge really brought back nice memories, those were the days… though these days it is not too bad either, with all the nice things we can do with our mobiles. So, nostalgia but thankfulness too. 🙂 My entry has a lot to do with change and becoming. https://doarnicol.wordpress.com/2017/11/26/cute-quotograph-transformation-and-progress/
