On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be houses, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes, since we cannot all be at those places, we can at least see them through you.
The pictures above are taken from here and there. During the course of a week, I take pictures as I go along sorting each day’s issues.
When I am going out by myself, I prefer to leave the ease of driving myself and opt to take a train, bus or taxi depending on. The first two are my first options.
In a good number of areas, the bus stops have a pair of shelter, one for women and children and a separate one for menfolk. Due to the heat which can be unbelievable at times, they are air-conditioned and well maintained.
If you want to get to know a city, to meander free and get to know it’s people, get a map and use public transport.
It free’s your eyes to stare, snap and interact.
When I drive, half of the time, my eyes are glued to the GPS screen trying not to miss a vital turn.

Last Week Echoes gave us some peeks of different neighbourhoods, hop on let’s go see and do show some of yours 🙂
Ladylee Manila shows us some beautiful looks of Manila.
Oba takes us up close and personal to her neighbourhood in Lagos.
Deb of Bookyglover catches good snips of my Lagos and it’s eccentric nature.

Murals and Soulful strut are eclectic shots from urban gypsy.
Cherry blossoms pretty as a picture photos from Paula.
Giggles & Tales Denmark is good for a visit. There’s decadent chocolate and wine too.

Thoughts and entanglements There’s something so satisfying about this picture.
Writing in North Norfolk Kim has wonderful neighbours 🙂
I hope you enjoy the views.

Wow – air-conditioned bus shelters! Dubai looks so clean and modern. Out here in the sticks in Norfolk we’re lucky to have a bus shelter! I feel so sorry for school children waiting in the rain for the bus.

Wow! That’s not so good for them to wait in the rain. Any form of shelter would do at least to protect the children. Here, it’s because of the heat that can get extreme. Thanks Kim 🙂

What an absolutely clever idea! Like others I’m impressed with the clean air conditioned bus shelters. I also thought the murals (can’t remember whose site) were amazing.
