Weekly photo challenge: Big

Last week, I participated for the first time in the Weekly photo challenge of The Daily Post at WordPress, with the happy challenge. I liked being part of a bigger challenge, shared with other bloggers. Also, it challenged me to look at my photos differently. It was like seeing my photos through new eyes. I like it! So this week I’m going to participate again.

This week’s challenge

BIG. It’s larger than life, it’s unexpected, it’s the protagonist in a scene. It’s big. It often helps to have some normal object as part of the scene so people can understand the scale, as I did in this picture of a GIANT mortadella in the grocery store. It must have been 10 feet long. 

Share a picture which means BIG to you! 

Big is the word!

Looking through my Thailand photos from last year, I came across some nice examples of BIG. From bigger than big buddha’s in Ayuthaya to the Giant Guards in the Grand Palace in Bangkok. In Khao Yai National Park, I saw the enormous strangling fig trees and a big scorpion. It may not look so big compared to the buddha’s, but I can tell you, face to face with that scorpion, it looked huge!

    wow! GIANT scorpion! nice pics.

    • Thank you! Yes, it was huge! When the guide asked me if he could place it at my hand, I kindly declined. Apperently it wasn’t more dangerous than a regular wasp. But I thought, better be save than sorry, since we were in the middle of nowhere in the jungle. I did go close enough to take the shot, though!

        HA!! Smart woman, I couldn’t put that thing on my hand either. It’s a great shot.

  2. Love love love your pictures!!

      Exactly! I didn’t get it that other people were actually holding the scorpion. But their braveness delivered me a great photo :)
