Marching

Thanks to everyone who commented on yesterday's Smile for the Camera photo, I am sure the camel was pleased he appeared on the PP.

Sorry I haven't replied to you all but I will catch up as soon as I can.

I am a bit short on 365 time at the moment. We have been at a friends house this afternoon. Tomorrow I am out for lunch and David is off on a Dolphin watch with friends. We are out for lunch on Thursday too, out for dinner on Friday and out for dinner again on Saturday, so it will be Sunday before I have to start thinking about cooking again. ha ha.

I had the idea for this photo a few weeks ago and finally got round to doing something about it. It made me think of little marching men. Can anyone guess what it is a photo of? I am sure you will see it quite quickly.
Matches? this is very effective.. love the silhouette and the uneven ground.. i think you have placed them in rows of 9 (?) but the angle of view has placed your 'marchers' in groups/cliques, like a crowd of folk milling and chatting.. extremely creative and very well done..
Hope you have a lovely time..

@jorlam No Jorlam not matches. That is another idea I have though. Maybe when I get a free day I will make a photo using matches.
I will post what it is a photo of in my topics folder in a couple of days time.

Mmm, being very tricky here Babs!
March 21st, 2017  
How about Nails??
March 21st, 2017  
Pins? Whatever you have used for your marchers, this is a very clever shot. Well done.
March 21st, 2017  
My first thought was matches but as that is wrong I agree with Connie that it is pins. Great image
March 21st, 2017  
I also immediately thought matches, but I see I'm wrong. A hairbrush?
March 21st, 2017  
Hairbrush?
March 21st, 2017  
Such a crowd of armless people !! -- my first thought was also match-sticks ! but could it be your hairbrush ,or even a tooth brush !
March 21st, 2017  
Looks like some sort of hairbrush to me. Love the concept here. Well done.
March 21st, 2017  
I think it maybe a hairbrush, interesting concept :)
March 21st, 2017  
Very creative monochrome image Babs, what a rich and full social life you lead, finding time to sleep must be a problem, lol:)
March 21st, 2017  
Don't have a clue
March 21st, 2017  
Very clever idea and my guess is a hairbrush
March 21st, 2017  
Clever idea. I thought matchsticks at first, but looking at other comments..... a hairbrush ?
March 21st, 2017  
This is so cool and creative. Love it. Not sure, but it looks like matches to me.
March 21st, 2017  
Looks like a hairbrush or matches to me, as it does to so many others! I wonder....... great fun little silhouette. Sounds like you are having a fun and busy time lately. Good for you!
March 21st, 2017  
Cool shot, pov
March 21st, 2017  
Very clever and perfect abstract in black and white.
March 21st, 2017  
Nicely captured, looks like a hairbrush
March 21st, 2017  
Nice silhouette, works well in b&w
March 21st, 2017  
very cool silhouette shot - I'll agree with hairbrush
March 21st, 2017  
Hairbrush is what springs to mind. Cool abstract though
March 21st, 2017  
Cool!

I thought matches until I read the comments. No idea. Hopefully you will let us know at some stage! Great shot by the way
March 21st, 2017  
Clever one! I think hairbrush too
March 21st, 2017  
I shouldn't know this but it does look like a hairbrush - but 'm prepared to be crushed :)
March 21st, 2017  
Very cool shot!
March 21st, 2017  
Cool image a hair brush
March 21st, 2017  
Just could be about to start marching! Halted here at the moment!
March 21st, 2017  
Moss? Was also thinking a hairbrush but those have them all equaly.
March 21st, 2017  
Well my first thought was matches, but it seems not... They kind of remind me of little fungi, but I don't think it is though.
March 21st, 2017  
As a few have said pretty sure it's a hairbrush. Nicely thought out and executed :)
March 21st, 2017  
I thought they were bones in some kind of memorial until I read the thread. Silly me.
March 21st, 2017  
I think I am going for hairbrush too after my first thought of matches. whatever they are its very clever.
March 21st, 2017  
Looks hairbrush to me too. I love the idea of the marching army. Well, you certainly have a lot of dining appointments lined up. Enjoy them all and don't worry about 365!
March 21st, 2017  
a brush .... what a great army
March 21st, 2017  
Ha ha! Great conception and it came out right

@jorlam @gigiflower @gigiflower @777margo @littleconnie @sarahlth @888rachel @gmonty @beryl @sangwann @hermann @pcoulson @peterday @nicolecampbell @dizzyd @mittens @casablanca @seattlite @claudiet @carolmw @craftymeg @jesperani @salza @helenm2016 @suesouthwood @julienne1 @theboxmanreturns @kwind @dawnee @maggiemae @pyrrhula @stephanies @rjb71 @golftragic @cruiser @helenhall @lesip @jgpittenger Thanks everyone. I am a bit late catching up tonight because I have been out most of the day at our ladies lunch and then when I got home we had thunderstorms all evening. I believe Sydney has been hit really hard with the storms, but not too bad as it arrived here, just went on for a few hours and bucketed down with rain.

Like Jorlam, a lot of you first thought this shot was of matches, but I think I gave the game away when I said it wasn't that and the next thing most people thought was a hairbrush. Indeed you are right it is a hairbrush. I was going to post a photo of the brush in my topics album, but it is getting late and I have only just put the computer back on as the storms have moved further north. Off to bed soon because I have another busy day tomorrow.
March 22nd, 2017  
Excellent shot :)
March 22nd, 2017  
Nicely done Babs. I have the advantage of coming in late, but must admit that I thought they were matches myself. I just hope you don't get mixed up and set your hair on fire!
March 23rd, 2017  
I like the high-key brush- great graphic!
March 23rd, 2017  
Very effective shot! I also thought it was matches when I first looked.
