SLOW is my choice for today’s photo challenge. When I first came up with the idea I thought of slow shutter speed (i.e. long-exposure photography), but then I decided to be less specific knowing that not everybody is equipped for long exposure photography, and the theme is just SLOW. You may show slow way of life (idleness), or any other kind of slow you can think of, or you can just be slow in posting your entries cause this time, due to my holidays, you have three weeks to publish your responses. The deadline is 9 August.
P.S. I am on holidays as of tomorrow and will not be able to look at your entries before 7 August. Keep well, and see you all very soon!
Please have a look at these wonderful entries to the challenge:
Hard-earned, Paula! I hope you’re going somewhere fabulous, but wherever you go, or don’t go, enjoy it to the full. Meanwhile I shall walk slowly up and down this promenade enjoying the lovely view. 🙂 🙂
Wonderful shot! The colours are superb. — I will definitely be slow in posting as I don’t have anything slow in stock. I will need to go out on a photo safari. – Have a wonderful holiday!
Lovely photo, Paula. It makes me think of my evening in Piran. I have a pair of ‘slow’ hot drinks for you from Buenos Aires: a social cup of Mate tea, or watching the chocolate submarine slowly melt in your Submarino. Which would you choose? http://bit.ly/JJ-mate
Yes, I remember. We had some house project to do. I have been posting mostly one post a day (used to post average 1.75/day). Next week I’ll be gone for a week for my daughter’s Baby Shower.
Lost in Translation 
Have a holiday at least as great as your photography!!!

I don’t do slow photos, but it’s a choice. I lack patience, but that’s beautiful enough to make me think twice about it 😀
