Have salvaged the hard drive from this ancient computer, which is going to the tip...

Sunday challenge 173 - This week's challenge is: Inspired by Asia. Pick something related to Asia that is the motivation for the photograph. It could be a map, food, fabric, artwork, a travel souvenir - the sky's the limit.

We can't remember when or where we acquired this, on our travels.

It is a traditional Chinese folding fan, large, just under a metre wide.

The history of the Chinese folding fan begins with its introduction from Japan and Korea in the 10th century during the Northern Song Dynasty, although China had a long history of non-folding fans made of feathers, straw, or bamboo. These imported folding fans, called julian, gained immense popularity during the Ming Dynasty, especially among scholars who decorated them with calligraphy and paintings, turning them into portable works of art that symbolized social status and literary talent.

…The practice of painting motifs like birds and flowers on fans became popular during the Song Dynasty.

Sunday challenge 169 - Emotions without people.

Just something about this really appealed to me :-)

The leaves have covered the two Crepe Myrtles in our garden, springtime in NSW Australia, anticipation of the flowers....

Sunday challenge 167 - Near and far

Take two photos of the same subject. One from close-up and one from afar. You can use the zoom feature of your camera or you can take the two photos the old fashioned way, using your feet to transport you between shots (sneaker zoom). Post your favorite to the challenge and post the other shot as a PiP. Let us know why you prefer one shot over the other.

I prefer this distant photo as it has better focus (I had a solid surface for the camera), and it shows the buds and flowers in a top down view.

20250926_120349 Both photos taken 26th September, previous week. They happen to illustrate perspective.

I prefer the photo below (already posted 28 September) as it is more dynamic, with the distracting features excluded... the tube for unused fishing lines and the warning signs.
