A synecdoche is a figure of speech by which a part stands for the whole.

This was true when I posted this bee to stand for the whole “earth” – the topic for The Daily Post’s photo challenge from 19 April 2017.  One of my first photos for this challenge and one of my personal all time favourites.

Now this one photo stands for all the other photos which I have submitted to this challenge.

I think it is a worthy goodbye.

The first picture is pretty much as I took it and how I remember it.  But then I started to play around with the editing functions of my photo program and I realised that depending on the effect, a different element was emphasised.

For me – with my landlocked upbringing – the seaside is a wonderous place where I find the immediacy of the elements is ever present.
