Taken in a bar in Leuven last week, I loved the concentration - on the player, their companion, and the man at the bar watching it. Hubby and I probably also had hand on face watching!
I shot a number of different angles of chess pieces. I shot some of a full board but just couldn't get it quite how I liked it. I ended up grabbing the king and placing the piece in the middle of board which gave me more flexibility in camera placement.
I was really happy to see George and Jinx enjoying the new chess game I bought, but then Jinxie caught George cheating!
Tripping Over Joy
What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?
The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
winter sunset joy beloved move hafiz
That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, “I Surrender!”
Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.
~ Hafiz
This poor little black pawn is lost and all he wants is to go home to his Mummy. The problem is that I think he might be on the wrong part of the board!
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “different” was chosen by Jette, jettebaltzer.
When I heard the theme, I had a few ideas that immediately sprung to mind. One I thought of were the black and white chess pieces. You can’t get much more different than that, now can you?
This little forlorn black pawn and the pieces behind him were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights. The chessboard the pieces are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.
019/365 - Day 20 of my 365 Photo Challenge
Today I was experimenting with a chess game.
I used my 50mm lens again. To light up the scene, I used the available light from my large window.
For sure, it was not the last image of it.
So for now - enjoy the photo!

These beautifully created chess pieces behind it were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use.

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “homemade” was chosen by Laszlo, Laszlo Papinot.
Even though I used these fabulous homemade pieces of my family history, so lovingly made, for last week’s Snap Happy theme of “different”, how could I fail to not use them again for this “homemade” theme? I couldn’t not include my beloved favourite pieces in this photograph.
'Heroes' by David Bowie, recorded at Hansa Studio, Berlin, 1977
Another of my (all-time) favourite songs - it never fails to lift my spirits
I love the cheer- and playfulness of David Bowie when performing live in Berlin 2002 ('Shut up, Bowie!') - I think he loved to be back !!
That's an outdoor chess game in the urban garden of my hometown, by the way :)

In a haze of cigarette smoke, three men in 1940s Indonesia gather in a dim cafe - typewriter clacking, papers in hand, coffee steaming, and a half-played chess game waiting. A timeless scene of ideas, camaraderie, and quiet rebellion.

In Montpellier, I came across this scene of men immersed in a chess game. The concentration, the silence, and the timeless atmosphere made me stop and capture the moment.
