The Weekly Photo challenge is Angular. Angular can mean acting or moving awkwardly.
It certainly applies to our active volcano, Concepcion, when she was inundated with 15 inches of rain overnight on October 8, 2014. In her wake, she left villages destroyed and huge angular cuts in her once smooth body.
You can’t get more angular than this poster in our Ometepe Island protests against the proposed Nicaraguan Canal. What really is China’s angle?
How about an angular vortex from Big Corn Island, Nicaragua?
Welding our tall water storage tower.
Our angular pineapple is almost ready.
The window cleaners at Vivian Pellas hospital in Managua. This angle makes me dizzy.

love the pineapple shot and the volcano..interesting interpretation for this week’s theme…
Thanks for stopping by, Indah.
Loved the volcano and the pineapple the best! Beautiful shots. What camera do you use? I’m learning the ropes so kinda curious. 🙂
Anawnimiss, I have a Canon with a powerful zoom. There is so much to learn about photography… little by little. Thanks for your comment.
whoa !!! amazing shots !! ❤
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Andy.
Beautiful shots you have there 🙂
Thanks, Nyze.
The picture of the vulcano is amazing – I assume it was covered with green before? It must have been terrifying to see all of that mud flowing everywhere and covering everything in its path.
About China – you may be interested in reading a new book called “China’s Second Continent” about Chinese business practices in Africa. Nicaragua would be wise to avoid finding itself in a similar situation.
Annette, thanks for the information. I have been researching everything I can find about the canal since all our media sources in Nicaragua are controlled by the government. I tried to find information about the Chinese business practices in Africa, especially Tanzania. This will be very helpful.
Our volcano has always been green and lush near the bottom, but at the top nothing can grow and it’s dangerous walking and climbing. The rains gouged deep crevices, and the landslides washed away several villages. Tragic!
amazing 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and liking my post photo challenge – Angular. your photos are really good, first one is natural angular
I really enjoy looking at all the Weekly Photo challenges. Thanks for stopping by my blog, too.
A telling collection of pictures on the theme!
Lovely! I enjoyed the pineapple shot the best! 🙂
Thanks, Nicole. It was yummy and juicy, too.
Great post. And that first photo is spectacular.
Thanks, Leya. That is our active volcano in our backyard.
angular forces of nature and marvels of architecture!
Glad you enjoyed my photos. Thanks for stopping by.
Loved the pineapple photo and the angular vortex pic from Big Corn Island was fun to see and took me back to our visit there a year ago. Happy Thanksgiving! Anita
Happy Thanksgiving, Anita. Did you visit the vortex on Big Corn?
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for sharing glimpses into your life and place.
janet
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Janet. Tomorrow we are going on a chompipe hunt…a turkey hunt. I hope we find one. Actually, a chompipe is a live turkey and we’re looking for a frozen one…a pavo. haha.
great post, and i’m glad you could weave a bit about the canal in it as well. this came through today, and i thought of you and everyone who will be in the wake… http://www.trust.org/item/20141120220953-rp8ro
has anyone notified superman? i think it’s time for the caped crusader to swoop down and stand by you and your neighbors. z
Oh, we have had a lot of wakes recently….literally. Maybe I should write a post about wakes? Thanks for the link. My question is what in the world are they going to do with all the dirt they remove? Put it in the lake? I’m so furious! This whole canal mess is ridiculous. Call Superman, now! hehe. Actually, I was looking at drones for sale yesterday. I thought I could get some great aerial photography of the construction. Then again, I thought I had better not because an expat U.S. journalist was “detained” last week by the Nicaraguan military and spent 2 days in a “migration hostel” in Managua for taking photos and videos of the proposed canal route without government permission.
you are right, and we would not want you to be detained, even if it’s for stating the facts. that’s true anywhere in the world.
wish i were there, though i doubt if i could help…
