WPC: Shiny crazy diamonds

For this challenge I’ve been enjoying collecting images with a certain shine to them. It can come from different sources. And yet, does it really?

But first a short recap of the past week:

1. I gave you our local beach.
2.  I showed you our slightly pink flamingos from not so very close up.
3.  I alerted you to my new photo gallery page.
4.  I bragged about posting my first Tweet.
5.  I described ten times when I had been waiting. I spur you to go ahead and read for a change. Photos will wait. 😉
6.  I took you along a door-filled street in Volterra.
7.  I let you see the Etruscan washing machine (nah!).

And now some shiny but also crazy moments.

Sometimes it comes from the left. (Off Monte Argentario)

Other times from the right. (Capalbio beach)

Sometimes it seems to come from above. (Piran)

Other times from underneath. (Mostec, Ljubljana)

Sometimes it’s a result of an action. (Sis’s birthday 10 years ago. Gratitude to sacrificed pig and Journey and Peugeot for posing.)

Other times it’s natural. (Velenje Lake, Slovenia)

Sometimes weather helps bring it out. (Extended family + ex dog. Piran.)

Other times it’s from within. (Sis + relative)

Sometimes the sun is only playing and it’s just right. (One of my favourite parent photos. Porto Ercole.)

Other times there are even two of them, yet in the shade. (Caldana)

Sometimes you notice little shiny spots. (Niki de Saint Phalle’s Il giardino dei tarocchi.)

Other times everything is shining so that which doesn’t brings a relief. (Niki de Saint Phalle’s Il giardino dei tarocchi.)

Sometimes you kick yourself after – why didn’t you? Only 32 EUR! (Vetulonia museum, replica of Etruscan art. Don’t go and buy it now! I’ll be back!)

Other times you’re kinda happy that he was only posing. 😀

And yet it’s actually all one big shine all over from all directions at once and you can do nothing but stare. (On the road in Slovakia a long time ago.)
