This week’s Photo Challenge is Change.
A place of great change, sudden and gradual, catastrophic and constructive, individual and collective, visible all around—
—the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan.

This week’s Photo Challenge is A Day in My Life.

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Smoke and Mirrors, in honor of Smoke and Mirrors Day (where do these designations come from?), “which celebrates all things magical and illusory”.
The magical smoke and mirrors of a calm dawn on the river…
