I am not done yet on this challenge, as I still have some photos to show.
Here is a photo taken of Trakai Castle in Lithuania.
The main subject is the sailing boat which is at the left hand third of the photo.
To be able to capture this boat in front of the dreamy castle is one of my biggest Reward (this week’s WPC challenge).
Please enjoy :-)

Lake Galvė is a lake in Trakai, Lithuania. It has 21 islands, and one of them houses Trakai Island Castle ( see my previous posts). The lake and most of the other lakes surrounding the castle and city have myths and legends connected to them, of which most contain a tragic love story. The lakes and castle are therefore also said to be haunted.
While visiting the Trakai Castle, I have a good stroll outside the castle by the lake, viewing the lake scenery mainly.
It found it very serene – with the sailing boats and the blue sky.
The three photos here are a selection of photos with a similar theme. Sailing boats are my favorites, so is the deep blue lake water.
Hope the serene scenes bring serenity and inner peace.

Serenity is everywhere. Basically, you will find it when your heart is prepared for it.
Here are a couple of pictures taken earlier in the Baltic.
Don’t ask where exactly those pictures are taken, as I have mixed up in my mind (and also in my archive as they are all scrambled together) as to their whereabouts.
Serenity is rowing on a calm waterway with your friend beside you.
On the other picture, it was taken in a waterway within a garden.
The composition looks simple but it looks so peaceful.
Please enjoy :-)
This weeks’ WPC Challenge of the Daily Post is Angular.
This photo was taken in the Baltic, possibly in the city of Riga.
It is angular not matter how you look at it – angular roofs and window apexes.
I like the color and composition too.
Please enjoy!
I feel I should continue on with last week’s WPC of Between.
After my last two posts of Between (Columns) and Between (Walls), it is just natural that I should also post on Between (Houses).
On our trip to the Baltics, one of my favorite themes of photography was to photograph houses.
I like the colors of the houses and the quiet cobble stone alleys.
Here is my favorite picture taken in a quiet alley.
The picture will be a lot less interesting if not for presence of the cat on the street.
I have an almost exactly similar photo without a cat . I can appreciate what a difference a cat (for many, it is a beloved pet) makes to the picture!
So, this concludes my series.
This week, the Challenger indicted ” Since we did macros last week lets do some wide open spaces with a twist…. in Black and White.”
I like wide open spaces.
Especially those with white cloud, blue sky and wide open fields.
The picture here was taken while travelling in the Baltics.
This is my ideal kind of picture for wide open fields . . . . . . . . . .
this is just so idyllic!
When you stepped into this room, the only natural direction of sight is UP!
That’s what I did when I entered this palace room in the Baltics.
Once I lifted my head and looked at the roof, I just couldn’t take my eyes off the roof again.
You may say that there are roofs in other palaces, like the Versailles, are more brilliant.
But this roof is small and low enough that you can focus and take a good look at the details.
The chandeliers, the painting on the roof and the gold colors are just unforgettable!
