Joining back into Hugh’s weekly photo challenge after a couple of months of blogging courses and April’s A to Z challenge.

This month Hugh asks us to consider distance, focusing on an object in the distance or a scene from a distance which shows up really well in a photo.

Resisting posting yet more pictures of the iconic Dubai buildings which are the ultimate distance shots in this region, I chose instead some aerial photos, taken over Java on the flight to the island of Lombok.

My focus is on the distance scene, the patchwork of colour created by farming, irrigation, bright roofs of houses and the linear abstraction from the air.

Lastly, the striking gold mosque amidst the patchwork conurbation of Mataram, the capital of the province of West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat). The province is administered from the provincial capital of Mataram in West Lombok.

Want to join the fun? Here’s what you need to do.

1. Take or choose a photo that you’ve taken which defines Distance.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 26 – ‘Distance’
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.
4. Create a pingback to Hugh’s post or leave a link to your post in the comments section on Hugh’s page so other participants can view the post.
