On my hunt for the letter V I have found quite a few words, and the best I have found are right below 😉
One more week has gone by and the lovely and great artist Barbara @Barbara-Orenya has rang the bell for the next round of the #AlphabetHunt Challenge in the Feel Good Community, where you have to illustrate 6 words (or concepts) starting with the letter of the week.
This week we are hunting the Letter "V". Please visit the latest blog post of Barbara | @barbara-orenya to find out more about the rules of this fun contest: AlphabetHunt letter V- the winners of the lucky draw - and a glimpse at the end of the Alphabet
Valley
The word Valley has come at first into my mind. The first two photos show the Drautal Valley, where I have grown up, looking towards the sunrise. The little village where my parents live is an about 5 minutes walk to the right.

The next two photos show the river Danube in the Danube Valley. The area around is better known as Wachau. In the first image one you can see the village of Dürnstein in the background and in the second photo there's also the Danube valley, but viewed from the Aggstein Castle.

Violet
Violet is a color which I sometimes mistake with purple. In the first photo I have photographed a clover blossom, and the other two photos show a busy or vivid bee collecting nectar from one of my favorite flowers, the Knautia Arvensis which is also known as Field Scabious.

Vršič Pass
Most times when I make a trip to the Soča Valley I drive over the 1,611 metres high Vršič Pass in Slovenia. These photos were taken looking north from a viewpoint below the pass and you might recognize the roof of the house on the pass in the background .

Vista
What means Vista? Wikipedia says Vista usually refers to a distant view. To me it is a beautiful view where I love most such a view from a mountain towards the sunrise or the sunset like in these photos which I have taken at sunset from the Sun Village of Diex where I often take sunset photos, as you might know 😊

Volute
A Snail can also be called Slug, Scroll, Cochlea, Volute or Escargot and I am sure there are even more names. These Volute are Cochlicellidae from the family of small air-breathing land snails. I have found them on a rotten tree trunk.

View
When you take sunrise or sunset photos you should also look behind you, because the View on the opposite site of the rising or setting sun is often more beautiful than the sunrise or sunset itself. I have taken these photos in June this year at the reservoir and although they are not very spectacular, the View has been way better than the actual sunrise behind me.

Vanish
This is the bridge over the river Drau at the reservoir where I am often for a walk or sunrise shooting like in the photos above. I have taken the photo on January 1st, 2020 and the bridge seems to vanish in the thick fog.

So, that was all from me for this week's #AlphabetHunt. I hope you like my hunting trophies and leave a kind comment below.
Next week we will be hunting the letter W which will be the last relatively easy letter before the real hard ones will challenge our brains 😉

I don't add information about the photos when I post for the #AlphabetHunt, because it's all about the words, but all photos were shot with the Canon EOS R and one of these lenses: Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS II USM, Canon EF 16-35mm 1:4 L IS USM, Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8 L STM, SIGMA 105mm 1:2,8 DG MACRO HSM, SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C. I leave all EXIF and IPTC information stored in the pictures. |
If you like my photos I would appreciate an upvote, nice comment or maybe you want to share my post on your blog 😊 ... and maybe you would like to follow me, so that you never miss a post from me.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog,
have a nice evening,
