Something for the Weekend - Part 217 - Cracked Up!

[jane-e]

Hi

Thank you to everyone who took part in Dave's Walk On challenge. A special thank you to Dave for allowing me to take a turn to host this week and share my image! 😊

This is a photo I took of the Liberty Bell while visiting Philadelphia. It was made in 1751 and now resides across the street from Independence Hall in the Liberty Bell Center. It's the symbol of liberty and has been used by abolitionists, women's suffrage advocates, and Civil Rights leaders. The inscription says, "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof".

What story can you tell us with this?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

Ha! Thats a good one! You'd almost think it was a Southern Bell! But its not! 🙂

It's a Southern Bell on a Southern Belle (a Bell on a Belle)!

Jane

[mark@headTrix]

I think it's a Northern bell on a Southern bell? I think the bell was from Philadelphia~! 🙂

Okay, then, is it a Philadelphia bell on a Southern belle? Yes it's in Philadelphia and I took this picture last summer. However you spell bell/belle, I really like this!

That is clever, Mark, and well executed.

Haven't heard that term in decades Mark!

[mark@headTrix]

Which term "bellbottoms"? ha! -- I think they were back in style like five years ago or so, no?

[jane-e]

I love this Mark and it looks great on her!

Jane

[mark@headTrix]

Thank you, Jane appreciate it! It does look good on her. I think someone said she was the Bell of the ball ha ha!

That is creepy! Who is hiding in the bell? 🙂

I think we should run @davescm 

[PaintedKitty]

It's Jim Carrey and he's allllllrighty! 🙃😁

[Derek Cross]

I can confirm it's a pic of Dave – all my submissions include a pic of Dave as my tribute to him as the starter of the SFRW idea (and, for me, it adds a bit of mischievous fun!).

[jane-e]

Since everyone thinks that Dave is in the bell, it must be true!😊

Jane

Thank you Jane for your starter image.

It inspires us to live true to our values.

I'll have to take a rain check on this one since I'm stuck in s certain predicament.

None the less we have this exact souvenir sitting on a ledge in our kitchen. If I can get to this challenge I may have that souvenir influence my design. 😁 None the less, I'll have to check out whats all ready here. They all look really fun and impressive.

[jane-e]

Thank you for sharing that @PaintedKitty — I love that you have a replica of the Bell in your kitchen ❤️! Our weekends last for two weeks, so you still have a few days until Dave posts the next challenge on Friday.

The Bell has been moved about a few times @mj and now likes its new home.
