Sandrine - interesting place for fire extinguishers, but now I'm stuck with this song in my head (...putting out the fire with gasoline...)...

I am constantly looking for odd things on my way. I saw this in january on the way to a hike:


Ausgbrannt = burnt out

Cem,

Thanks, I did not look at it this way. I was more focused on the different ways of decay, the rotten leaves and the old lightbulb with parts of it missing.

Best regards,
Michael

Michael, you will be surprised at the beautiful collection one can have by accumulating photographs

Fire hydrants are a good subject as they come in various shapes and often vivid colors.

I like the symmetry vs. asymmetry aspect of your photo.

I found this result of a public chess game:


Best regards,

Fahim,

Your work is naturally elegant and always a good choice. Still, let me gently steer the thread a little more towards Sandrine's original idea. It does not require beauty!

What is the most common, ordinary, mundane, everyday object you ever photographied?


Here's mine:

......... the simple, mundane and practical; elegantly imagined and shown. It's hard to be at this end of the spectrum, but it's a goal we can try every so often.

Pencils are indeed "super mundane" and as perfect choice. camels, OTOH or far to noble to be assigned to this heading. Common, but not mundane!

Depends. Where you live. And what you are used to.

Snow..common, mundane? For whom?
Sand, desert. common, mundane? For whom?

Iznik tiles. common, munane? For whom?

Depends.
