Little Audrey

The Skipping Girl Vinegar Sign in Abbotsford, Melbourne, also known as 'Little Audrey' was erected in 1936 and is a familiar landmark in Melbourne. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipping_Girl_Sign

The best I can do today as we wait for the taxi to take us to the airport for departure for long haul flight to Stockholm via Singapore and Munich .

It's so different to modern day signs - delightful. Stockholm as a destination sounds like a great starting point for a holiday?

You sure can tell it is a vintage sign - just look at little Audrey's clothes! I hope you had a good flight.

The challenges I have thought that might work for you might cramp your style while you are traveling so I am actually going to give you three - in the order of my preference for you. Feel free to go all the way down to the third one which won't affect your photo choices while traveling.
1 - Set your camera to a 50 mm equivalent and use it for a full day. Choose your favourite shot(s) for the challenge.
2 - Pretend that you have an old fashioned SLR camera with a 24 frame roll of film. This means you cannot check your screen to see what you got (you could not do that when you had film), and you only have 24 shots so you must compose and set your settings carefully. NO post processing - it's SOOC - after all, you did not know what you got until you got your photos back from the developer. Again, choose your favourite shot(s) for the challenge.
You only need to do this for 24 shots - you are back fully digital with complete freedom to do what you want when it is over!!
3 - Be a tourist and show us a unique feature of where you are.

Good morning Wendy from Falun, Sweden. I hope this will meet the challenge. If not I shall come back to it later in the week.

Snow and high peaked mountains are a unique aspect of travel for me.

Good morning. Actually we were headed for Falun north of Stockholm which is where we are now, visiting my cousin. Excited.

Many thanks for your comments on the skipping girl.

Many thanks for well wishes for our flights. Very long, of course, and delayed in Singapore by torrential rain and thunderstorms so we spent an hour and a half sitting in the plane waiting to take off. Total of more than thirty hours of travel by the time we arrived here. But excitement plus!
