Something odd happened this week.

Most weeks, I receive more photos than I know what to do with. This week, I received only ONE. One picture! How disappointing. I guess I will never know the secrets of your Friday nights. SIGH. Luckily enough, Gayle Lazda‘s Friday night shot is pretty fantastic. Behold:

Hopefully, next week’s theme won’t scare you all off. I’m looking forward to seeing your photos!

COLLECTIVE 5: Up above.

Hello! Collective 5 is a weekly feature consisting of photos submitted by readers. Anyone can join in. All details, including next week’s theme, can be found here.

When I chose this theme, I had thought of only one way to interpret it: Look up, and take a picture. However, about half the photos I received were taken from up above, looking down on what they saw. I therefore ended up with a really lovely combination of photographs. Thanks guys! Keep on sending in your photos!

This week’s photos, in no particular order:

1. Up above: A paraglider, by Adele Turner.

2. From Up Above: The view from the Hancock Tower, Miranda Laurence.

3. Up Above: Primrose Hill Sunset, by Kerry Tucker

4. From Up Above: Madeiran Sunset, by Caitlin Douglas.

5. Up above: On the roof of Exeter College, by Gayle Lazda.
