Scavenger Hunt 5

Some more photos for the summer scavenger hunt at Rinda's blog

9. A festival or fair - this is Henry Olanga taking part in the Keswick Cricket Festival. Henry was taking part in the Keswick Convention this year and had put together a team to play the local cricket team. Henry Olanga made his international debut in 1995, and was the youngest player and the first black cricketer to represent Zimbabwe, helping them to their first ever Test victory.

 11. A forest - this was taken during one of the forest walks we went on around Keswick.

 15. Graffiti art - spotted this on a wall in Paris.

 18. A person sketching or painting outside - this was at Keswick and is outside Andrew's favourite fish and chip shop.

 8. Your country's flag - saw these cushions in a shop and took a photo.

The next lot.

5. A hand lettered sign selling something - we saw lots of boards like this one outside restaurants in Paris.

 17. Rain - boy did it rain the day we went to Disneyland - luckily it stopped by late morning.

 6. A person dressed as a pirate - where else but at Disney's Parade. The Parade was good and definately worth waiting for.

Scavenger Hunt 2

Some more photos for the summer scavenger hunt over at Rinda's.

16. A building made of metal or glass - well it just had to be the Eiffel Tower from our Paris trip. We hade prebooked tickets so we got into the building without a queue - but then we had to queue for about 1 hour to make it up to the very top - but it was worth it.

7. A decorated mailbox or piece of garden sculpture - this is the Stravinsky fountains outside the Pompidou Centre, which is a very unusual looking building with all the pipes etc on the outside of it. I liked these sculptures, especially this elephant.

The first of the scavenger hunt photos

Over at Rinda's blog she is hosting a summer photography scavenger hunt. She has given us a list of 21 items to try and find and take a photo of. I found this great fun when we were away on holiday and hubbie joined in too with looking for the items to photograph. I don't have them all yet, but still have plenty of time.

This first one is for number 2 - a Musem - and of course it is the Louvre in Paris. A very interesting museum, you could easily spend a day (or two) just there, but Andrew only wanted to go see the Mona Lisa!

This one is for number 13 - a cemetry with historical significance. This is the tomb of the unknown warrier under the Arc de Triomphe with the eternal flame. A reminder of all who sacrificed their lives in the wars that we might have the freedoms we take so much for granted today.
