It's the end of the month and time for another collection of photos for the Scavenger Hunt Photo Challenge hosted by Greenthumb of Made With Love Blog. Thank you Greenthumb. You can find the list of this month's participants here.
The list for March: local, city, stripes, crisp, street art, tiles, rocks stairs, hair, measure, large, for one, landscape
LOCAL a local park
CITY Fargate, Sheffield City Centre. There is always something going on in the main pedestrianised areas of the city. One Saturday there was a group of flautists playing for the Marie Curie fund raising Daffodil Appeal
STRIPES Fargate, the Continental Market
CRISP These traditional sweet, crisp pastries are eaten during Carnevale, the Thursday before Lent, in some European countries, including Italy. The thin strips of dough are shaped into bows or other shapes. When shallow fried the dough puffs up giving them a light, flaky texture. Powdered sugar is sprinkled on top before serving them. Each region of Italy has its own name for them and in Rome they are called frappe.
STREET ART Owlerton (usually pronounced Oh-lerton), is an area of Sheffield that is thought to have originally been named because many alder trees grew there (alder-ton). Fine art students from the nearby college supported by a local artist have spray painted murals on the walls and fences showing industries, businesses, historical events and characters associated with the local area.
TILES Floor tiles in the Grand Entrance Hall, Chatsworth House, Derbyshire.
ROCKS STAIRS (steps?) I wasn't sure what this prompt meant so I've submitted several options. Above are (1) rocks that could be used as steps at The Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Shop, Holmfirth, Yorkshire. There is official access by way of a shallow gravel slope and the rocks are part of a wind break as the site is on the side of a hill (2) flagstone steps in the village of Holmfirth and (3) the carpeted stone Grand Staircase, Chatsworth House, Derbyshire.
HAIR A carving on a building in Sheffield City Centre, probably a Green Man, because of the naturalistic-looking hair.
MEASURE a sundial set in the paving stones of the courtyard of the Upper Chapel, Sheffield - the shadow-casting object, probably a metal triangular blade, (gnomon) is missing.
LARGE Large and small items were on sale when the Continental Market was set up in the city centre.
FOR ONE When we go out for afternoon tea my husband prefers to drink coffee whilst I enjoy a pot of tea and a piece of home made cake such as this delicious carrot cake.
LANDSCAPE View of the snow capped moors, the dales and hills around Holmfirth, Yorkshire from Holmfirth Vineyards which we visited on Easter Tuesday.
March has been a busy month, although there have been quiet times too. This post for Scavenger Hunt Photo Challenge has reminded me of some of what I did and saw during the month. Blogging has had to give way to other activities and family times and this will continue at least for the next month as I shall be taking a break.
