Photo theme #104

[billz]

Hey everybody, what's up? Or down? We're about to find out as we take on a theme suggested by Lisa a while back. The theme for the week is Tops and/or Bottoms and the interpretation is all up to you!

The fine print:

Everyone is invited to participate.
Because the purpose of the weekly theme is to get us more familiar with our cameras and to sharpen our photographic skills, entries should be taken during the week of the theme.
Photoshopping is allowed.
To make this thread more manageable to view, please post only your entries in this thread. Post your comments in the accompanying 'comment' thread.

I guess I will go first. Tops and/or bottoms, huh? I went down to my favorite section of alleyways, to look at some rickety fire escapes (it will be on the tour, Bill.) I saw this instead. Yep, the mixed paper toter is full, from the bottom to the top. Any other reference to the theme is purely coincidental.:eek:

Last week's homework and my Ghost Tour of Savannah this weekend have left me in a Halloween mood. Then I saw this little garden ornament . . .Hmmmmm. The background is Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah. It was part of my ghost tour.

I couldn't take part in the previous challenge because the season here hasn't really changed yet, LOL. We'll have to wait until Christmas for that... :rolleyes: When I saw the title of this challenge, I thought hats and shoes - so here goes. :)

I guess the leg of the coffee table might count, too... :p

I went a different direction...

My top is now a bottom. :)

For some reason Top reminded me of college. Top is the brand name of what I suppose must be single application post it notes.

Playing with my new 100mm macro lens. He was so little...that's a pine needle beside him. I don't know what the green things are.:o

I had the same thought as Kimi but had to lay on my bottom to get the shot so that's got to be worth extra points :D. Hemlocks I believe. Cloudy day so that blue sky is just a fake - that new blend mode (Darker Color) in PSE6/CS3 makes it real easy.

I made a slide show of my twin grandsons first year of life. This photo was the last slide, actually taken on their 1st birthday. The slide was entitled "The End(s)".

These are four German regimental beer steins. The bottom images are the bottom of the steins viewed from the top inside. They all have these translucent images that you can see as you get to the bottom of your beer and are looking at a light. So when those bottoms are up they are on top.

[quillabee9]

for my second entry (this is fun), I have included some photos of some tops I bought at The Real Mother Goose in Portland. Bill, I'm sure you are familiar with that neat store. They are all wood and hand done. They are popular with the younger kids when they visit. Enjoy.

Sorry it is so gloomy... the top of one cloud and the bottom of another.

And some tree-tops, too!

Here's the bottom of the Cloud Gate in Chicago. (I'll put a shot of the whole thing in my gallery -it is a wonderful thing.)
