The Wednesday evening photo hunts are back on now that the holidays are over, and I participate in my second one. This week’s was at The Shire, a Lord of the Rings themed region. I hadn’t been there before, and I enjoyed exploring the area, especially since I ran into Gandalf himself!
I had a hard time getting a picture I liked this week, but I settled for a shot of the sky, seen through some ornate chair backs.

We returned to the gallery and everyone put in their votes… and I was voted third place for the week! I was pretty flattered. I’m not doing it for winning or losing, but because I really enjoy the challenge of bringing back the best snapshot I can in the allotted hour. Still, the enthusiasm and support of the other Photo Hunters made me feel good, which meant a lot after a rough few weeks here.
So I plan to be there again next week. If you’d like to join in the fun, the Photo Hunt is held weekly at 6:00 SLT on Wednesdays, at the Virtual Artist Alliance Gallery in Chiaksan.
