This week’s challenge is from Patti with the theme of Mysterious.
Mysterious: A mood or moment in a place that feels quietly powerful, subtly beautiful, or filled with secrets you can’t quite name.
Mysterious is how this church in Porto rises against the night
or a lone bird flying above a cathedral.
It can be an abandoned door in Porto…
or a dim passage in MONA in Tasmania.
Mysterious is the New Zealand skies shifting without warning,
It is the quiet woods of Japan,
or Miyama village tucked inside its morning fog.
Mysterious is Mount Fuji partly veiled in clouds.
Mystery isn’t always hidden—it’s just waiting to be noticed.
What a great gallery. Mysterious and a bit scary for the two church images.
Haha for a different topic.
A lovely post and gallery Teresa. fabulous images of mystery
Thanks Brian. Happy you think so.
Your photos are perfect for this challenge.
Thanks Pauline, glad you liked my take on the topic.
Gorgeous photos, Teresa!
Thanks, glad you think so, Mrs W
These are wonderful, Teresa! I’ve stood on the steps of that church in the moonlight. The Japanese ones are perfect too. I find myself very drawn to those woods, though I’m not a woodland person xx
Thanks Jo, love your comment. The Porto church is really a surprise when the moon gave it a mysterious glow. The Japanese woods was also something else. Glad the sun wasn’t shining then.
What great shots! And isn’t that church quite something?
Thanks you Margaret.
Teresa, you had me with the first image, the angle of the shot was great. The tunnel. Mist / fog always adds mystery to an image
Thanks for commenting Ritva. But I always find it challenging to photograph fog and mist.
Teresa, I find it just the opposite 😀
I know, you’re good at it.
thx :-d
What a fabulous post, Teresa! Your images are superb! The ones you shot in Porto are great reminders of a lovely and mysterious city!
Thanks so much Patti, glad you liked them. And welcome back.
Teresa, wonderful collection for the challenge. My favorite is the bird flying over the cathedral.
Thanks Beth. Glad you liked that one, that is my fave as well hence the featured photo.
Your closing statement is perfect Teresa. As are your image choices for the week. Nicely done! As for me, I think I’d pass on the MONA walk!
Thanks Tina, the MONA is such an amazing museum. And the closing statement is so true right. However I don’t think it’s an original, I just happened to think of it when I was ending this post. I don’t even know where I got it from hehe
Wow! GREAT selections!! 👏👏👏
