Today readers will find in my post a truly eclectic collection of pictures. There is no overriding theme, unless it is that I am always surprised by what I find as I stroll around the community.
The rat (artificial!), for example, was poised on a side yard fence. The bell tower belonged to ninety-year-old church I had never seen before. Most of the decorations adorned lawns. The sunburst was attached to the front of a house. I tried to clarify the design and ended up filling it in completely and getting a new image.
The gargoyle was the sort of thing I might have passed a hundred times without seeing it. The figure was perched on a roof peak. I asked the homeowner about this odd adornment and he said a previous owner had put the piece there. "I'm not going to climb up and take it down," he assured me. I hope that shot is clear enough to be useful.
All pictures in this post are all intended for LMAC's Image Library, LIL. This is a public domain image resource open to everyone on Hive. Anyone can contribute and anyone can borrow. Information on rules and procedures may be found here.
As I write this post, LMAC's collage contest is in progress. There is a massive 234 Hive prize pool, which will be distributed among winners next week. That sum includes a generous donation from @balte, a long-time supporter of the LMAC community. Contest rules and regulations may be found here.
LIL and LMAC thrive because of those who contribute and who create collages every week. The community was born from the inspiration/hard work of @shaka, and benefits from the dedicated energy of master coder @quantumg and bilingual moderator/curator @mballesteros.
I wish everyone who reads this a creative, peaceful, productive week.
Hive on!
