A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.

Glow In The Dark
Year three of the Headbanger Challenge starts today and it's my choice this time. I've gone for 'technology'. Now I bet you're wondering why I am showing you a photo of old swords, helmets and weapons of a long distant age. The simple reason is that they were the latest technology 700 years ago, albeit for war purposes. When you speak of technology to most people, they will instantly think of computers, electronics and mobile phones. But technology can mean anything. That Stone Age man who decided to carve a piece of rock into a round shape and invented the wheel was a technologist, even if nobody knew it at the time. He may have got a few grunts of appreciation from the rest of his tribe, as now he had invented a simpler way of carting dinosaur meat to their cave, rather than having to lug it home and end up with backache.
Don't forget to pop over to the rest of the gang and see how they have interpreted the theme. Links now under the Nottingham flag. And enjoy the music of Vangelis and the vision of Stanley Kubrick.
There's little technology involved in today's blog post. A shot of a candle glowing in a red vase, which I took on Sunday at the Flickr meet after walk drinks.

Chris: Quite interesting take on the theme. I saw your header before the post and thought you might be going for technology during the iron age. Nicely captured.
ReplyDeleteAlways knew you were from the stone age Christopher.lol.
ReplyDeleteMighty fine Header and post this week my friend.
Technology is certainly not a new thing although that phrase in itself is a paradox, so your header is great.
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of music this week.
Another great example of innovation, I am glad to find it. There are so many developers working on this segment but this is one of the best innovative idea ever. Thanks for sharing it here.
