Header Challenge 8th December 2010 – Snow.

 

This weeks challenge is that winter favourite Snow.

Now for a change we have had some snow already in South Lincolnshire. Nowhere near as much as many other parts of the UK but even the little we have had seems to have caused chaos. Schools have been closed though much to my daughters disgust not theirs. Even my university the Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln closed its campus for about a week due to the snow.

It may cause problems for many but it certainly is beautiful to look at.

though I don’t think our chickens agreed.

So what should I use as this weeks header?

I thought a first to go with footprints in the snow…

but couldn't get it to fit the full width of the header bar and I wanted something a little better.

How about…

our dog Corky in the snow but again wrong shape for the header bar.

I even looked at a photo I took of the snow as it melted from our garden table forming some very strange shapes…

but it was in the wrong format for the header bar so I chose a photograph taken from an upstairs window looking out across the fields of South Lincolnshire whilst the snow continued to fall.

Hope you like it and are enjoying the picture opportunities snow whilst it lasts.

Don’t forget to leave your comments on my blog and then check out the other snow pictures of the headbangers, just follow the links in the right hand menu bar.

Header Challenge 1st November 2010 – Wheels.

Well this weeks exciting header challenge has been chosen by Gailsman and for his choice he has gone with ‘Wheels’.

Now the first thing you may think with wheels is cars or bikes but lots of other things have wheels too.

In our house the biggest use of a wheel seems to be for the playing of Mario Karts on the Nintendo Wii…

I’m sure many of you have also used a wheel in your house (or in Pizza Hut) when you have been cutting up your pizza’s…

Some of you will even use a wheel to adjust your heating thermostats…

and if you haven’t used any of those, how about Apples pride and joy the iPod with its revolutionary wheel interface.

If you still haven't found a wheel you have used in the above selection, what about looking on your desk at that mouse you are holding I’m sure that may have a wheel on it…

you may even be sat on a chair at that desk that has these…

castor wheels.

Many objects these days have wheels but one of my favourite wheels are just for watching and that is why I have chosen for my header this week a pair of Catherine Wheels (pinwheel) taken at a firework display at a friends house.

I hope you have enjoyed exploring wheels with me this week. I wonder how many wheels you can find around your homes?

Don’t forget to leave a comment then drop in on the other headbangers to see what they have come up with for the ‘Wheels’ header challenge.

For those of you who also noticed it was Wheels by ACDC playing on my iPod here’s  your chance to listen to a great rock track.
