Favourite Romantic Work of Art: Photo Challenges Combined

Favourite Romantic Works of Art… 3 photo challenges all rolled into one.

Favourite -show your Favourite thing from where you live (food, place, thing to do…) for Tourist in Your Own Town, which is a monthly challenge hosted by me. πŸ™‚

Romantic -Bastet’s Pixelventures has asked us to show the softer side.

Work of Art – from Word Press. A work of art can be a masterpiece, something your children have made for you, something in nature, or Michelle’s example of gastric delights almost too pretty to eat.

20140418_120035One of Shanghai’s favourite landmarks to shoot must be the unusual Pearl Tower. How romantic to stroll along the Bund at night and look at al the twinkling lights. It certainly is a masterpiece of unique design inspired by pearls, which are often harvested in China’s waters.

Dali’s melting clock, according to the plaque, is the second one in the world on display. Who would have thought it would be in Shanghai? It is one of my favourite works of art. I was delighted to happen upon this as we strolled along Nanjing Road. For some reason this masterpiece feels romantic for me. Maybe because the first time I saw it I was in the romantic city of Florence, Italy.

Be sure to show or tell about your favourite,Β  romantic, or work of art in the comments below. Can you roll all 3 into a post too?

  9. Great choices CTB – agree whole-heartedly on the romance of the Bund stroll!!

  10. Pearl Tower…what a beauty.
    Melting Clock…i want one

    • Salvador Dali’s art is very different… it is from a painting called persistence of memory. He also did some sculpture. I find his work interesting and unique. It is so cool right?
      Thanks for stopping by. So what is your favourite thing from where you live in NZ? Do a post and share with us Jo.
