October kicks off another month of Sunday Stills photo challenges, but did you know that Becky B, square photographer extraordinaire, is back to hosting her squares challenge this month? October’s theme is “lines and squares.”
Why not join in for Sunday Stills this week and post some lines and squares for both challenges! Think of it as photo blogging squared!
Each Fall semester, I arrange for one of my university classes to visit two recreational facilities to learn more about the daily operations and management of such.
My class visited the Sky High Jump Center, a large indoor trampoline and jump facility. As we toured the facility, I took several photos of the interesting perspectives of lines and squares. Since we were there at lunchtime on a weekday, there were very few people jumping. But that didn’t stop a couple of my students from doing so after the tour.
How many lines and squares can you count?
On another day, we visited a community recreation and sports center seen below. On this surprisingly overcast day in late September, taking the image to black and white gave it an unintended brooding appearance. By the evening though, this field was alive with players and teams enjoying softball games.
Not only does it sport the lines I was seeking, it coincidentally works with Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: The side of things, for this week!
The Blue Angels are back at the Capital Air Show in Sacramento with their high flying tricks. Quite the straight line at 700 mph (just under Mach 1)!
The same jets appear to fly between the overhead power lines…of my backyard! We are within a mile of the Mather Air Field where the show commenced this weekend and I can stand in my front yard and watch most of it! They practice all week right over our heads!
Lines are also found in nature. I couldn’t resist sharing this line of pelicans flying high, although not quite as fast as the Blue Angels.
Please welcome a set of new participants to September’s Sunday Stills challenges and please visit their blogs when you get the chance:
Travel with Tech, Joe’s Musings, Cath’s Camera, and Take A Walk.
Over the next month, I will be incorporating lines into my images for the Sunday Stills’ themes so I can link with Becky B’s challenge. I look forward to what you will share for this week’s lines and squares!

Like you, we have an annual air show right on our doorstep. The Swansea bay airshow takes place the first weekend in July every year. We can sit in our garden and watch most of the show from the decking. The family always want to come and stay that weekend. Because our summers are much shorter than the ones you have, we have events taking place every weekend from June until mid-Sept. For the next eight months, the bay will be very quiet.

Thank you! How cool to have that opportunity (and save $$, too), Hugh! We’ve had years with two air shows, and of course they practice all week, so the noise is a concern. But it’s still a thrill to see them right over our heads. I’ve joked that they have flown so close, I could see the whites of the pilots’ eyes, LOL!
