This is my fourth participation in the Weekly photo challenge. This week’s theme is eerie. First, I have to say this theme is actually a challenge. Second, I didn’t want to have another post in black and white, but then I think b&w photos are better to let the eerie effect transpire.
I also wanted to take original photos for this week’s challenge, but when I saw the theme, I was at a loss. I then proceeded to look at some of my old photographs. Hope you like them. Some of them are better than others. Most of them were taken in California; one of them was taken in Belgium. Click on the images for details.

My favorite is the tree above the picture with the big scissors.

Ha. That’s been my favorite tree ever since I saw it for the first time back in 2006. Unfortunately, I think they took it down a couple years ago…Thanks for dropping by!
I love all of these, in particular, Homer Simpson lying in the dirt!
Tigger was right next to him, but I didn’t manage to get a good enough photo. 😉
All you needed was that filthy Homer. It’s priceless!
Thanks! 🙂
I too had to reach back and find something that I shot a few years ago to meet this photo challenge. I found both the tree and the hotel interesting. The hotel shot reminds me of the movie Psycho which was not only eerie, it was downright scary.
Agreed. Thanks for dropping by! 😉
Good shots, Morgane. And good chioces for the challenge.
Thanks Stefano! And thanks for dropping by! 😉
Great photos! I love the one with the “dead” Homer and the one right next to it with the tree casting its shadow, for this theme. They are all great photos though!
I definitely agree with you, I was at a loss when I saw this week’s challenge. Initially I thought I won’t even do it this week, but then I kinda got hooked on it – although initially I had told myself I don’t want to do what the others do 😀 – so I tried to see if I got at least something close.
I also think B&W works better for eerie, but there are cases and cases.
Again great shots and happy Sunday!
Thanks so much for dropping by my blog! Have a great weekend!
Hmmm, I sense tingling eeriness in the air.
When I saw the topic was “Eerie” I immediately thought of your dolls faces post. These evoke the same emotion. Nicely done.
Haha funny! I thought of that myself and wished I’d save those photos for this challenge. Thanks! 😉
The doll is very very eerie!
Yeah. Too bad I didn’t know about this week’s photo challenge theme when I posted this. Haha. 😉
Creepy selection, indeed – and I completely agree that black & white works best for eerie! The Belgian shot with the scissors is interesting…. And the abandoned Homer works well!
Oh thanks so much! Since the challenge has started I have actually seen a few pics in color and some work well after all. I still think my selection works best in b&w. Thanks for the nice comment and for taking the time to visit my blog!
You are very welcome, I’ve been having a nose around your blog and I particularly like the Rust!
Yeah that’s a an older project that I’m slowly trying to revive. If you’d like to participate feel free to send me some of your shots. 😉
I might just do that.. 🙂
Great photos!! I especially like the Bart one… sorry for those who are fans… for me, that’s where he belongs! 😉
Haha. That’s Homer. That just shows how much you like The Simpsons. 😉
True! Knew it was one of them… well, I thought I knew! 😉
Great job picking out these photos…a lot of eerie shots. I also like the tree above the picture of the giant scissors…
It’s definitely a winner it seems. 😉 thanks for dropping by!
Great photos/ Love the scissors.
Thanks! And thanks for dropping by!
I agree that b&w works with this theme = enjoyed them so clicked on them to look at the detail
Thanks! That’s nice of you. 🙂
Hello, Morgane! Nice to meet you and sincere apologies for delayed response to your like of my “J” post last Nov (how time flies). Anyway, this is a gorgeous B&W series here – nice work!
Don’t worry! Nice to meet you too. Thanks for dropping by! 😉
