    Air, fire, earth and water are the four elements. The fifth being the one made popular by the movie, The Fifth Element, love.

    Chinese theory, 5 elements, water, wood, earth, fire, metal.

    Japanese Buddest philosophy
    Earth represented things that were solid.
    Water represented things that were liquid.
    Fire represented things that destroyed.
    Wind/Air represented things that moved.
    Void represented things not of our everyday life

    Geez this one will be a big challange!!

    Pam is right, I was thinking is this what I am thinking? The Chinese theory, could be hard to get all 5 in a photo.

    I don’t believe Ed meant all five elements in one picture. But a single picture depicting each element…therefore, five pictures. But, if you can put them all in one shot that would be a winner. :) I still think this challenge will be a tough one. :)

    I’m back! :)

    I’ll give it a try — computer still in progress of getting all the backed-up files on and organized, so I’m not sure if I can get all my photos for this one. But I’ll definitely try.

    Sunday Stills {The Elements}…

    This week’s Sunday Stills had me really thinking creatively.  What around me held all 4 elements plus 1 extra element?  Well, I had an idea for a photo for a very dear friend of mine and that got my mind working.
