my journey to the Alphabet Land (day R)

(Edited)

My next post for the Alphabet Hunt challenge by @barbara-orenya. This week we had to find words starting with letter "R". Pretty easy task, as this letter is very, very wide-spread.


R — Radiotelescope

R — Road

I wanted to shoot a yellow-bricked Road, but my quest wasnt successfull. Seems they are not too popular here :)
Those two Russian boys are young fishermen.


R — Rust

I like to watch at the rust on surfaces! Of course, not on my showel :)


R — Rider

This is also a rider: wasp rider (more usually named a parasite wasp).

R — Remains

This place was my office for more than 7 years. Last year it was ruined and moved out, I took some pictures of its remains. There is a Russian proverb saying "Two moves are equial to one fire". My heart still bleeds, when I look at this office remains.

The last wordpick naturally could be 'Ruins', but let me finish on more positive note.


R — Radiohead

Well, Radiohead is not what you may think is, if you are not in the know... it is a famous UK alternative rock band from Oxford! And yes, I am a fan -- since 1999!

I do not have my own pictures of the band, but otherwise, I have a lot of memorabilia to present. This is a magazine ad for their second album 'The Bends' (1995) that I have sticked to my desktop.

A few Radiohead books on my shelf. I love Reading, you know.

And a little video. One of their greatest songs. (Thanks a lot to @ninahaskin, for a friendly reminder!)


All the images taken by me, as always. I did not considered too much entries this round, almost no doubles and leftovers, except a few words I wanted to illustrate:

Romance / Royal / Robot / Relaxation / Reader

Those are all good things... but nobody can fit an unfittable, right?
Как говорил мой старый наставник-редактор: "Нельзя впихнуть невпихуемое!

A most enjoyable collection of R words, minus the sad remains from your ruined office @qwerrie
Alas, yellow brick roads must be a British thing that Sir Elton John singeth of! I wont even try to find one unless it's the cover of his record album. You scored a bonus r word with the two Russian boys!
Your daughter proves to be quite a well rounded rider!
Perhaps adding one of your favorite Radiohead songs for us to listen to would also pep our Monday moods!🎶
Congratulations on having an entry for every Alphabet Hunt letter💪

very nice comment, appreciated a lot, Nina. you have very good points I am missing. Russian is an extra word, indeed, same as Rounded Rider (what does it mean, "rounded", will you tell me? not quite clear... note, there are different persons at all of the pics, you can see my baby only at the motorcycle one).

Alas, yellow brick roads must be a British thing

hmmm. I have in mind only one yellow brick road -- from 'Wizard of Oz" -- and it is rather American that English source... no?

adding one of your favorite Radiohead songs

that was floating on the surface!
I am really a retard for not doing that !!!!
here me go:

Congratulations on having an entry for every Alphabet Hunt letter💪

Easy peasy hunt...wasn't it ? 😊
This radiotelescope is impressive, maybe due to your edit but we seem to be in another planet...LoL
I wouldn't have guessed there were so many books about Radiohead, I've counted 7 ! and I wonder why you have two times the same book...?🤔

actually, it was quadruple easy-peasy!
:)
cause... R is all around totally. I didnt try hard at all, this time! done in 9 mins (if we do not count time spent at editing).

there are much more books on Radiohead (not only bio-s). And I have more in my posession, actually. And I do not have all of them, note it.

:P

why do I have doubles? well... I was obtaining them on ebay, sometimes I had to buy a lots, that included few doubles, that why I got extra copies. that is not important, actually.

Wow, that radiotelescope is impressive.
I was almost sure you will choose Radiohead as one of your words, knowing how huge fan you are. 😀

So, that's what you call a Road in Russia? Cool - do I have to wear rubber boots when I ride to visit you on my Harley? 🤣

I think you have told about this job and leaving the office before, and I still feel sorry for you - it's never easy to leave something you love to do.

I know Radiohead, but I have to admit, that I have never been a fan of their music.

This hunt was too easy for you, let's see what you'll come up with next, my friend 😁


Cheers and !BEER
