Welcome to week 172 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! Please note that last week’s Round Up will be published later tonight (EDT)
Clearly, I need to spend more time going back through all of my travel photography, as there are so many images that I have never had the time to process. The inspiration for this week’s theme came from there… As I often take the time to look at things around me from a different angle, I thought that Overhead might make a good theme. Of course, you can feel free to interpret the theme in any direction that you may wish, as the word has multiple meanings in the English language!
So, I hope that your overhead will be minimal in looking at what lies overhead this week, as you come up with some creative views and interpretations of the world around you! Have fun with this theme and definitely think out of the box!
Here’s what I saw, when I looked overhead in Israel 3 years ago…
As I finished up my exploration of the wonderful site of Apollonia, just north of Herzliyah, in Israel, I walked under these gorgeous trees and looked up. And, there it was, playing among the leaves: a strong Sun making its presence felt!
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)!!
Don’t look straight into the Sun (even with your camera)! Looking forward to all of your great images!
Great canopy shot, love the sun glinting through 😁
Thank you! That crane is impressive!
Very clear twinkle.
🙂
Great photo Frank. Love the light and the diversity of colour
Thank you, Brian; your timing was absolutely perfect!!
Do I note a hint of sarcasm Frank 😀 😀 😀
naaah…I just love how just the tail of the plane shows…it adds to the mystery of the shot. Only concern: how low was that plane?
🙂
Quite low actually that’s why I wanted to get the photo.
A sun star – wonderful!
Love your perspective in this shot!!
Great use of the light, Frank. Sometimes we hunt for it, sometimes we avoid it – but you caught it well
Thank you, Debbie. Your post is awesome! It looks like those are rocket engines attached to the building!
Great canopy shot – love all the greens and the sun rays coming through. So fresh!
Thank you!!
Lovely photo. Is the canopy greener on the other side? 🙂
I didn’t get to go out for my response: https://anotherglobaleater.wordpress.com/2019/08/06/the-little-hagia-sophia/

Great picture Frank.
More on the boat from me
https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2019/08/06/tuesday-photo-challenge-overhead/
Lovely overhead shots. The truck passing by reminds me of an aquaduct in the Netherlands, where the highway goes under the canal and you can see boats passing overhead…
We did our first U turn just after that bridge. The boat performed beautifully.
Must be a good captain 🙂
We both had a go, and discovered our boat favoured turning left rather than right. Apparently this is not unusual as all boats handle differently. It was our first trip out on the river so we made the most of it being quiet and practiced a few maneuvers.
Interesting; I have similar experiences with boats, particularly those that are driven by a prop; when working with just the wind, the experience is completely different and incredibly magical!
We miss it big time sometimes.
Lover overhead views of trees! Mine here: https://wp.me/p9EWyp-14Q

Great selection of shots, Cee! I particularly love the reflection and its warmth!

Love these green carobs! I have a photo (from a different angle but a similar point in carob-development …) from earlier this year around the Mediterranean! 🙂
Am a little late to this party, but just HAD to join in … So here’s my chirpy interpretation …
