Tuesday Photo Challenge – Hill

Welcome to week 169 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

As I am traveling for work this week, I have been pretty much out of touch due to long work days and little time between meetings. My apologies for the resultant delay. As I will have this evening to myself, I will get last week’s round up done then. Also, I should get the chance for some personal time on Friday to get a bit of photography in as well…

As I did get the chance to look out of my hotel room at night, there was a bit of inspiration that led to this week’s theme of Hill. In the town of Brno, there is a spectacular view of Spilberk Castle, which has stood atop the hill for over seven centuries. Therefore, your challenge is to share your favorite hills and/or what you find atop them.

I’m looking forward to seeing what hills you climb and capture!

Here’s the castle on the hill…

Spilberk Castle

This view is from my 12th floor hotel room; this room has the feature that windows open all the way, so that I could get a good view. I’ve also taken a couple of EOS R shots that I will process in the near future.

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)!!

Hope you have fun with this week’s (day late) theme and conquer the hills!

    I know that feeling of work getting in the way of exploration and the camera! But I like your sneaky shot from the window.
    I know you asked for hill, but I’ve gone mountain. And a very colourful one. https://travelwithintent.com/2019/07/17/liverpool-mountain-rondinone-sculpture-tate/

        Thanks, I was thinking about some of the local chain saw carvings and that made me think of the wood piles sticking out of the water and they made me think of the eroded rock.

    Hmm, a fortress on a hill is usually a sign of a pretty dodgy past. I guess various frontiers moved across Brno for centuries.

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      That is definitely true; the castle is impressive and built to last! Love your posts of Priene!

      Did the limo make it over the hill? It looks very close to touching.

    2. jansenphoto Avatar

      That is one awesome hill…not a great place for a stretch limousine 🙂

    This should be an easier one for me to capture. I live in a hilly area. Weather is very high this weekend (36ºC), ​but I am hoping I get out in the early morning to capture some images.

      You definitely put together a great assortment!!

  28. […] The hill that dominates the town of Zacatecas in Mexico is known as the Cerro de la Bufa. This is the hill where the revolutionaries, led by Pancho Villa and Felipe Ángeles, fought the last battle of the Revolucion Mexicana and took control of Zacatecas. Another ‘cerro’ (hill), this one of the trail that runs through the Cerros de Siete Colores (Hills of Seven Colours) in Pumamarca, Argentina. The town at the end of Inle Lake, suspended somewhere in time between the past and the future. I don’t know its name, but from a distance the temple on top of the hill looks like a vision of Shangri-La (Myanmar). The hills nearby the 11th century monastery in Valvanera were thickly wooded, mostly with a profusion of chestnut trees (Spain).Road up in the hills above Merritt, Canada.Tea plantation in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia.Forlorn hills on our Dingle Peninsula Drive, part of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.The rolling hills on our walk past the Ladybower Reservoir in the Peaks District of England.

    All I know about Brno is they have a fabulous race track where the MotoGP race and over 100,000 people attend. Love your photo Frank 🙂

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      Thank you, Brian; Brno is a great place to visit and has the feel of a university town.

    I haven’t participated in these challenges for a while, but I just discovered this today and my post of the hilltop buildings in Guanajuato, Mexico will fit 🙂
