It occurs to me that we are incapable of defying gravity (forgive me, I'm dense.) Sure, we can get into a plane and fly, or if we're really, really lucky, we can go into orbit and float around for a while. But we're still subject to the same fundamental force, and we're still doomed to spend most of our life on the ground.
So if we're stuck down here, I thought we may as well celebrate it for a bit. Hence this week's theme, grounded. As you can see from the photo above, it should include some form of ground. In this case, it's a grassy soccer pitch. How you choose to interpret it is entirely up to you. And there are no rights or wrongs, just enjoyable moments as we individually and collectively try to interpret the theme.
Your turn: Please take a picture that evokes this week's theme. Share it on your blog or website, then leave a comment here letting folks know where to find it. Visit other participants to spread the photographic joy. Also feel free to repeat the process through the week. Pulling in friends is also highly encouraged. We're like that here. If you're new to Thematic Photographic, please click here for more background. And please have fun, as that's the entire point of all of this.
What an interesting theme this week... Mines up as well at AussiePomm - Grounded.
ReplyDeleteBut, looking at the soccer (football) pitch, the turf does look a little yellow, and with an even closer eye, it looks like Poa annua, which is more of a weed here as its seedhead can produce c. 600 seeds!!
Have a great day!!
I thought of this photo as soon as I saw the theme for this week.
ReplyDeleteAn easy one! and fun!! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave fun in your hectic week!

All sorts of grounds here - http://gillymaccsphotos.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe theme Grounded immediately grabbed my attention Carmi. I certainly felt a lot more grounded working in the design/build business than I do working as an artist. My photo entry shows what I loved most about construction. I could move the earth for folks.

Grounding is such a free word--ironic, but true. There are so many things different people can find grounding: a smell, a memory, a color, dirt itself... I had a lot of fun with this one. As always ;-)
