Next Challenge... "MY Special Place" Friday 7th November. Maybe it is the place you live, a room you love, a place you go... somewhere you love to be, a place that is "your space" that means something to you. (No toilets please :o)
Please also let me know any ideas you might have for future challenge topics.
"Mon endroit préféré" le vendredi 7 novembre
Cela peut être l'endroit où vous vivez, une pièce que vous aimez,un endroit où vous allez ,quelque part où vous aimez être...un endroit qui est "votre endroit" ,qui signifie quelque chose pour vous ".
Thank you Marie-Hélène for the help with the translation :o)
I was born on November 18th, 1998 and I am a girl from Greece :-) Thank you for your comments!
-- SORRY, I HAVE NOT MUCH TIME TO VISIT EACH ONE OF YOU EVERYDAY...A LOT OF HOMEWORK... -- :o)

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known to do the challenge. You are always so well informed! I love this shot of your brother. You caught him just before he landed, which I really like. It gives me the sense of anticipation. I would love if by magic you were WITH your brother in the picture! I bet you have a lot of fun together. The vibrant colors help tell the story.

His joy is really pleasant to look at and I can understand that such a place is "a special place" to you and your brother.
In fact I'm jealous I wish I could play like that on this playground but at 37 I would look a little strange ;o)

I thought I had left a comment on your page when I did the link on mine, I am so sorry I am so late to leave a comment sweetie, this is I think the most touching image of the series for my special place, the fact that you feel joy when your brother does is a true testiment to the beautiful girl you are. You are very gifted, this is a great, fun and colourful image and I thank you so much for participating in the challenge!

Pixim from Nice, France
Photograph which transmits the spontaneousness of the moment. You succeeded in your bet, the more so as so much of movement and a light difficult to control makes complicated the shot ;)
