Round Robin Photo Challenge: Listen to This!

Hi, Robins! Believe it or not, this next Challenge was inspired by the advertising campaign for the 1974 John Lennon album Walls and Bridges. The topic for Saturday, August 10th, 2013 is

The Lennon ad campaign had ads on the sides of buses saying "Listen To This Bus," buttons that said, "Listen To This Button," posters that said, "Listen To this Poster" and so on. What I'd like you to do is photograph something that you really could listen to. It should be something that has a very distinctive sound, one that we can imagine by looking at your picture. It could be a jackhammer or a barking dog, for example, a babbling brook or a children's choir. Natural or technological, pleasant or unpleasant, loud or soft, it's all good, especially if it plays in our heads as we view your photos!

Here, as usual, are the guidelines:

1. Grab your camera and photograph something that makes a memorable sound.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, Saturday, August 10th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!

   Someplace I've Never Been

Maybe you just happen to be leaving for some far-off land in the next two weeks, but that's not necessarily what I have in mind here. As I've discovered in my weekend drives with my Dad, there are lots of adventures to be had close to home. Get out there and find some - and bring your camera! Just head off somewhere you've never been - a back street a mile from home; a new restaurant downtown; a museum you've been meaning to visit; a store you've never had a reason to shop in; a little park in someone else's neighborhood; a tiny island off the coast; the town of Surprise, Arizona; Moola, NSW; Olympus Mons, Mars...well, you get the idea! It doesn't matter where it is, as long as the place is new to you, and you bring back a photo or two, or possibly more than two!

The usual guidelines apply:

As always, here's a reminder of our guidelines:

1. Grab your camera and go exploring! Bring us back one or more pictures of someplace you've never been before.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, Saturday, July 27th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!
