Melli's Alphabet Challenge, S and T

For weeks now I've been running around with my camera, looking up, looking down, upside down, searching everywhere. I even looked in mirrors, and from all kinds of angles. People have been turning their heads at the sight of me, bending myself in the most awkward positions trying to find letters for Melli's ABC challenge.
I'm not sure if I'm brain damaged yet or not, no tests have been executed yet.
But the men in white coats have not yet come to fetch me either.
However, if I keep seeing photographing things that nobody else finds interesting, then I'll let you know.
I'll thank you for it Melli.
I'll thank you for that twist extra button in my brains, that clicks every time I see one.
Take last week for instance.


This was somebody's front door.

And this is the door latch at the beguinage.
But it looks like I already had this brain disorder an eye for alphabet letters in the past.
Because while I was browsing through my archives, I discovered these...

This one was from Crestet, when we were on holiday In France last year.
I might have been looking for dragons ;-) but I'm not sure.
(Click the link for a virtual tour of this pretty village in the South of France.)


And this one was taken on one of my walks in Antwerp last Summer.
A perfect T.

But the next one beats it all. I want drumrolls now


Not only is there an S, there is a T in there as well.
And not only that.

  1. Love all the swirly wrought iron. Yes, it's a great photo, your last one, even if you weren't alphabet-seeking.

  2. Congratulations to your new blog ! I suppose it is replacing the "old" one. I first didn't notice because you have the same header, lol !
    Your findings for S and T are super ! This time I participated too. Since two weeks I see letters everywhere so I thought I will also participate for the last times. When it started my best friend was slowly dying of cancer and I wasn't in a very creative mood.

  3. I love all this old metal - it's got such a wonderful texture and feel to it, which you've captured beautifully.

    (Gattina, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.)

  4. How lovely! Love the wrought iron and intricacy of it. And in addition to the last one having so many letters, I believe it has a "heart" as well :)

  7. You always have such pretty and interesting ones! I love them all! I don't see the W or Z either, in the last one, but I see lots of others. What a neat railing!!

  8. Wonderful finds. You are awesome this. And, don't tell Quilly, but I see all the letters in the last photo. Usually my abstract thinking doesn't allow me to do that LOL

  13. You can't quit now? You are almost to the real end. If worse comes to worse, you could keep posting that last photo and point our all the rest of the letters to those of us who can't see them all. Where is W?

  14. The pictures were great and to the point but the commentary was even better.

  17. @Jientje Mahalo I can sure tell you are a twitterer (If that's a word) By the way is there any way you can spell out how to pronounce your name and what does it mean in English? Sorry to be so dumb but you are my first Belgium (Belgian?) I have met and I'm thrilled :)

  19. Just wanted to tell you that my cats never pose for me. A cat never does what you want, that you know, lol ! I just wait until I see that I could use this or that photo for a game. This time Rosie was just sitting there and her tail had an S form, so I snapped my camera and had my S !

  20. @ Susanne: Yes, so do I!
    @ Thom: You clearly have not read the "about me"
    on top of this blog huh?
    @SassyDog: Not all, I'm sure!
    @Gattina: Of course they don't, you're just a very clever photographer!
