Lens-Artists PC: Framed frames

34
Written by Manja Maksimovič

Since this blog is dangerously close to its 3 GB limit and my new blog is not ready yet, I continue cheating by selecting photos that have been posted before.

All today’s photos have been posted for various Lens-Artists photo challenges this year already but they still answer to the theme of framing the shot which Amy has selected this week.

My next blog with the mysterious sounding URL https://mexcessive.photo.blog/ has yet to be launched, but oh, I know, I can give away its new name. Let me introduce myself: I’m Manja Mexi Mexcessive. No diggity, no doubt. 😀

And now have a look at what frames my eye chooses somewhat subconsciously, since it’s never predetermined, and see if you remember any of them. The last photo is by dad, taken on his and mom’s first visit to Tuscany. It was my birthday and they were the surprise.

  • Framed by fence. Lefkas island, Greece.
  • Framed by puddle. Ljubljana.
  • Roadrunning dream. Framed by rearviewmirror.
  • Framed by windshield. Rome reflection.
  • Framed hearts are always welcome. Rome.
  • Favourite view from my window.
  • Another pretty framing window. Piran.
  • Framed street art in Trastevere.
  • Framed dreamscape. Alan Hranitelj exhibition Parallel Worlds at Ljubljana Castle.
  • Framed view from Capalbio. We live down below just out of frame to the right.
  • Ljubljana, Slovenia, from Ljubljana Castle.
  • Framed by an arch. Dobrovo Castle, Slovenia.
  • Another framing arch above San Galgano Abbey. This is the Rotonda with the sword in stone.
  • Nature framed by window.
  • Framed by trees. Also in Saline di Tarquinia. A silo? The year is 1925.
  • December in Rome. A peek through the fence.
  • The view framed by Union beer umbrella and the wall. Motovun, Istria, Croatia.
  • A frame framing whatever you feel like. Tivoli, Ljubljana.
  • Framed by a giant panel, one of many. Jožef Tominc: Self Portrait by the Window (1826). Tivoli, Ljubljana.
  • Framed by nature. Arboretum Volčji Potok.
  • A nest framed by an electricity counter.
  • Rome was baking at nearly 40 degrees C, but in style. Framed by bougainvillea.
  • Framed by make-believe window that you carry with you.
  • Framed by frames. Arboretum Volčji Potok.
  • Framed by Niki de Saint Phalle’s Nana in Capalbio. Father is a pro. Photo: BM

      2. Great! Only now I realise that I chose the same theme as your blog has! I was wondering where I have seen it. I must have admired nice big photos on your blog and wished to have the same. 😀 Never before I noticed this theme, Pictorico. Thank you for the inspiration!

    1. Done! 🙂 Today’s Thursday Doors are there already! From a certain town that you will remember. It might have been this comment of yours that spurred me on. Thanks for that! (My link is in moderation on your blog, probably because it contains two links.)

  8. Mexcessive–you are so funny! Everyone was my favorite….until the next one. I do like the peek of the little bird cage and the Christmas tree photos, especially. All good ones, though, Manja.

      1. FYI I have a second blog site, little used, but I can store images there and add them to my main site posts via URL. I can’t do galleries of photos but at least it saves on storage cost. I wish they had a better cost structure. It seems like all or nothing. A lot of us are just regular folks trying to express themselves.

  12. These are all beautifully framed and very creative MMM. I really enjoyed them and hadn’t seen them before. BTW you are very brave to start a new blog – do you have to start over with followers or do they come over automatically???

    1. Thank you very much, Tina. 🙂 These were all posted for various Lens-Artists challenges this year. Well, I start a new blog every year, it seems, as the free one get full soon. Indeed I need to start over with followers. Many have been the same through all my five blogs. As you know, most of the followers are not active and I don’t mind losing those, but the active ones move with me.

I will not ask you questions at the end of posts to trick you into commenting. So when you do it on your own, it's that more appreciated. Thank you!
