Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Below

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Below

***

Today’s prompt word is ‘below’. First thing I thought of is this song I like a lot, then below that is some more things I thought of being below. 🙂

“Heaven Knows”, by The Pretty Reckless, can be found on their 2013 album, “Going to Hell”. It was written by Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips, and is on the Razor & Tie label.

The thing with stairs is, are they going up or down? Depends on your perspective and which way you are intending to go, doesn’t it.

Below ground

The next photo is a half dug-0ut house. It is located at the Ranching Heritage Center here in town. It is actually dug into the side of a hill, and the items were brought here from the original half dug-out located in another county. People long ago who were settling this area, made these type of houses, since there are very few trees around to make above ground houses with the wood. They usually had dirt floors, too.

I’ve also been below ground in a dirt storm cellar, hiding from tornadoes! Before our cellar was build at home our neighbor had a dirt cellar we’d go to when there were tornadoes around. It was spidery and spooky.

Below ground while visiting a cave is really interesting! I’ve been to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico a few times, and also Inner Space in Round Rock Texas. Beautiful natural structures, yet still kind of spooky and musty in the caves.

One Word Sunday – Above

Standard

One Word Sunday – Above

For Debbie’s One Word Sunday

Above

This prompt goes two different directions, I think. One way is of me above, taking photos of things below, and then me below, taking pictures of things above me, over my head. Anyway, this is how I saw it. 🙂

Here’s some I’ve taken:

Here we are looking up at three pairs of mannequin legs dressed in leggings (blue/black/gray) in a store. There were no upper bodies!

Then here are the U.S. flag, a highway overpass, and two horse statues up high.

Now I was looking up at these …

Looking up inside the dome of the TX Capitol Building in Austin (there’s a star right in the middle, I guess for our motto – the Lone Star State?”

The next photos show:

  • looking up above at winter bare tree branches
  • Icicles hanging off roof edge
  • Airplane flying overhead
  • tall pole with power lines
  • Gretchen (our cat from years ago) up in the top of a cabinet looking down at us

From a different perspective I now show that I am above, taking photos of things below me…
