These are wonderful choices for the week Siobhan - very creative and the images are perfect for the week. Especially loved the fish tank reflections and your closing image.
Thanks, Tina! The person in the reflection image is my daughter. :)
What a great take on the theme! That opening image is both mysterious and a bit scary. A lovely gallery indeed.
Thanks, Egidio! The lighting in the sasquatch exhibition made every piece more mysterious.
Amazing! How you see so much mystery around you...
Thanks! 😁
Wonderful photos of mystery and imagination Siobhan 😀 The cave choice would have been difficult, I like the mask and the fun of the stick holding the boulder
Thanks, Brian! That cave was SO DARK, even with a flashlight. The mask was impressive, and the tiny stick that someone tucked under the boulder cracked me up. 😆
I love your gallery of natural scenes, punctuated by that opening mask image, Siobhan!
Thank you, John. The mask was anazing.
beautiful picture 💯
Thank you! 😁
The fish tank reflection is my favourite I think though I was also excited by the otters!
Glad you liked that one, Sarah! The otters (there were actually three of them) followed me for quite a while on my Friday walk.
These are great!
Thanks, Tiffany! 🙂
These are great and so creative. I love the boulder, that is such a wonderful view what mysterious can be too :)
Thanks, Sofia! Someone out there wanted to make people smile when they drove by that boulder. :D
I really like your diverse collection, Siobhan. Masks, reflections in a fish tank.... It's true. Mysteries are all around us. You found some wonderful ones.
Thanks, Patti! Yes, mystery surrounds us.
