Foto Flip Friday – October Theme: “Blue” (Week 3)
Welcome to a brand new edition of Foto Flip Friday – a selected showcase of photos dredged up from my bountiful photo archives and whittled into a pretty little “flip/flop” postcard each Friday. And to add to the fun, each month I’ll challenge myself to unearth a series of images that meet a monthly theme.
This month’s theme is… the many yummy shades of: BLUE
And this week we head to Europe – to one of my favorite cities on the Planet: Amsterdam. The first “Blue” image – one of the ubiquitous bicycles, so handy for wheeling leisurely amid Amsterdam’s picturesque neighborhoods set along the canals. (Do mouseover to see a short message on the back of each postcard.)
(simply mouseover the image and watch the *magic!)
* Well o.k. for those viewing in IE, not so much a magical “flip” as a fading change. If you want to see the flip/flop, try viewing in Chrome or Firefox.
And here we have a macro shot of the iconic “Delft” blue and white earthenware designs so reminiscent of Holland:
And finally, this week we have an extra “Blue” treat from a TL reader – a most serene seascape from Eastern Europe:

All this month I’ll be rummaging through my archives for more “Blue” images, so check back next Friday to see another flip/flop postcard or two from my past.
And meanwhile – if (like Bill – thanks!) you’d like to submit a “Blue” photo of your own (in landscape format, min. 700 px. wide), just upload it to an online source (e.g. your blog, Facebook, Flickr, etc – make sure the privacy settings are set to “public”), and post a link to it in the comments below.
Who knows? I might just whittle it into a flip/flop digital postcard here!

The second photo reminded me of some Delft jars my grandmother had given me before she died. I took digital pictures of them before passing them on to someone who loved them, also. Now I can look at them whenever I want. Anita
Ah, good you found a good home for them Anita. As travelers, like it or not – we must be content with but digital images of such treasures.
