Elemental Nature

This week in the Lens-Artists Weekly Photo Challenge, the challenge is “Five Elements”.

This week you have an opportunity to interpret metal, wood, water, fire, and/or earth with your favorite photos to express “…the only home we’ve ever known”. Feel free to choose one, two… or all five elements.
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #47: Five Elements

I’ve enjoyed looking back through all my photos and finding photos that fit this theme. Hope you enjoy them 🙂

On a walk in the village you’ll see there is a metal fence around the field in the village where you can see the village church in the background:

Barbed wire doesn’t look like much from a way off but on a damp day you might find a pretty droplet of water hanging from the metal:

Speaking of droplets of water, you may also find them hanging precariously from trees, transforming a twig of wood into something magical:

And if it’s autumn, you may find a combination of water and fire all at once down in the wood:

On such an autumn day, a walk in the wood becomes a feast for the senses, with the colour of fire filling your eyes:

And by the river you see the fire and the water together again:

Among the fiery autumn leaves, you may find more magic emerging from the dark earth in the form of mushrooms:

And mosses, that can grow on the tiniest bit of earth, can be seen raising their sporophytes like flames of fire into the sky:

Moss particularly likes damp locations, so you’ll often find it growing on rocks and wood near water:

It’s raining today, and while that is a shame if you wanted to go for a walk in the sunshine, nature needs the rain, and you might get some lovely water droplets to photograph when the rain stops again!
