Minimalist indeed. Works good in b/w.

Simple and effective, good composition of lines and shapes and soft b/w.

Ok, I have to tell ya...I've just gone over and over the 5 current shots, and I am at a complete loss!!! Am I going to feel like a real loser when the answer to your "hints" is revealed??????

@Susan: To my heart, a 'real loser' might be someone who never asks questions and never tries to figure anything out. Here, more likely is the possibility that you'll be frustrated at me for sending you you on the 'wild-goose-chase' of connections. We'll see. Clue tomorrow...

Marcie from United States

Nice composition..graphic simplicity and balance. Am now thinking that what's tying these images togeter are the overhead wires?!?!?

@Marcie: Mmmm - no wires in either #1 or #2 so far as I can make out. Not it - a clue tomorrow...

Liang from San Francisco, United States

Funny, I thought electric wires this morning also, but went back and looked, and found that wasn't the connection,.....there were a few things i checked, like windows, doors....but so far......no answer.....so at least I won't be a "loser"......and actually, you've now given me something more to look forward to tomorrow!! Will there be a "prize" if one of us gets it right???

One last guess for today......Is the "Sky" what they all have in common??????

thanks very much for the tip-of-the-hat - i absolutely love this shot - wish i'd taken it. i thought i had the mystery figured out, but i see now that i was wrong. i'll be waiting for the clue.
