The Old Dog Presents: The Mundane as Art Round Five. The Theme is Stones!
Was our last gallery the best ever? It may well be but you my great fellow Steemers have made all of the previous 4 a HUGE success!
Just to refresh your memory here is a summary of what you have accomplished so far!
- Art Exhibit of Manhole Covers!
- Your Photographs of Streets!
- Damaged Asphalt Gallery
- Tree Bark Virtual Gallery
It's Time to Move on to Round Five. The Theme is Stones!
Stones! What art can there possibly be in stones? Plenty, as we're about to find out!
Whether it's a macro photo showing the details of an individual stone, the variety seen in a pile of them, the smoothness of some warn by battering waves or the rugged jagged edges of stones found in a field we're going on a journey of exploration!
There will be at least 10 SBD in prizes and bonus prizes as well! In the last round all 34 members who made it into the virtual gallery received a prize!!!!
Here Are a Few Examples For You!
Here is a photo of stones from my vacation to Ireland last year.
Here are some stones that I found on the beach in Georgian Bay in Ontario. I took this photo with my phone just now but imagine a nice "studio shot"!
Natural or staged? The choice is yours. These three examples are from pixabay.com

It was really tough but decided to go with a sober and naturally enhanced photo. I hope you all enjoy, thanks again for this great opportunity to share on this inspiring topic.

Here is my entry @kus-knee ^_^ My gnomely friend Luigi climbed his own rocks, enjoying the panorama of the big ones, french Alps ;-)
as you asked for suggestion, I might propose artistic tools such as pencils, brushes, paintings, and so on...
well it's the first thing that came to my mind, in a whole biased way as I'm surrounded by them...LoL
I am chuckling almost silently but only because the hubby is sleeping so sweet right next to me and I don't want to disturb him! Great entry! 😂😂🤣😅
Haha ! now it's me laughing @pusteblume ! ^_^
Lovely. Thank you!
