AS GOOD AS GOLD
By Shelly Perry in Portland, OR
In Bangkok, Thailand, a 46-meter-long golden Buddha reclines in a
temple... Versailles palace in France is adorned throughout with
gold-leaf... Egyptians encased their mummies in shining golden funeral
masks... medieval European nobility ate gold flakes in their food...
and today, at the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C., people line
up to ogle precious golden jewelry behind thick glass.
Since the beginning of recorded history, and presumably beyond, we are
head-over-heels in love with gold. A symbol of wealth, a currency, a
sparkling adornment... gold is everywhere.
And this season is filled with it. Like the Thanksgiving turkey
coming out of the oven perfectly golden brown... the golden champagne
shimmering in our glasses.... and autumn leaves changing from green to
gold. Soon, we'll be hanging golden tinsel on the hearth and tree,
too.
So this month's Photo Challenge theme is dedicated to all things gold.
Theme-fitting photos can include:
-- Riches, money, or currency themes
-- Autumn leaves changing to golden colors
-- Athletes competing for gold
-- Gold decorations and jewelry in other cultures
-- Golden-colored food and drinks
-- Decorations for the holiday seasons
-- And anything else that you associate with gold
