The Old Dog Presents: The That Wood Has Character Contest!

in #contest5 years ago

When we age and the wrinkles form instead of saying that we look old we often instead hear that our face now has character!

The same is true with wood. It might be weathered and cracked but it can still look great, full of character!

Here Let me Show You!

I just love the look of this old weathered wood. To me it's art!

This is a picture of my deck outside. It really makes me question my behavior of walking on it in bare feet. I may need to stop doing that lol.

Super cool and really captured as art. You get it!

Yes please be careful in bare feet!

The That Wood Has Character - Contest Entry - A Visual Story (15 Photos)


An entry to this week's contest by @kus-knee

An evening walk at amazing forest of Curonian Spit, Lithuania. Very special forest and endless possibilities to get interesting shots. This time was just was shooting down with a vertical point of view. And at certain point and adding some fantasy those pieces of wood are not Flora anymore, but more like Fauna :D

Post production and color grading in LR only

Enjoy the closer look!

Thanks for joining us!

I like to go explore the old railroad in my hometown and study all the unique whorls and grain patterns of the wood. There's lots of history and memory in this wood — think of all the sights and sounds that have passed by and been forgotten... (Photos are taken with iPhone 8+)

Thanks for this great opportunity.

I'd love to post a wooden game called "Ayò ọlọ́pọ́n" in Yoruba Language. An ethic in Nigeria, Africa.

This game was made for me by my grandfather, he's a carpenter and he got the small balls in the wooden board from his farm....

Here is the image below:

Thanks once again for the opportunity given me to share part of our cultural engagement with the galleries.

Very cool! Would you believe that I had one of these games in Canada when i was a kid? It was about 1967 and my brother brought it back from Antigua which is in the Caribbean.

Waooo... For real?🤗🤗

It's quite an interesting game, which I love to play all day with my grandparents and siblings 😁

we have one, too. and some great pebbles go with it - one of the fave games of my growing baby when she was 5-6 yo.

Waooo... This is really lovely... I actually thought this game can only be found in Africa. Don't even knows it goes viral.

@kus-knee thanks for this nice contest

this is an ordinary tree that grows in our yard. but it decided (a long ago!) it wants not to grow in a usual way (and I am not sure to state if this is dendro-disease or not). I'd rather assume, it is a whim, an excess.
it clearly envies to the baobab, and wants to grow in wide, to turn into a kind of barrel; here weep on it all these "bumps"

Very weird looking tree!

Thanks 🙏🏽

Thanks for the enTrees!

these are super!

Manually curated by ackhoo from the Qurator Team. Keep up the good work!

My first entry to your contest will be with photo from Namibia. Area is called Dead Vlei and it is desert area. Words desert and tree don't go along very well unless, that tree has a character, so he fights the battle and still lives!

Great, thanks!

Looks good!

Nice idea for a post and contest, I do have a nice piece of wood that I plan to use in a new fish-tank I am planning to set up. Will have to make a post about it!!

I look forward to seeing it!
