Housey-housey

Housey-housey
SPC Joint Winner March/April 2020 (Porte/Doors). My fellow winner was Amelia Heath

Originally in my old Panoramio account, these are actually beach huts.

The title chosen because of the numbered boxes here representing in a little way our old social light gambling game: Bingo. When one won - they would shout 'House'! The game was often called 'housey-housey. Of course the double meaning was not lost on me neither :)

The SPC (Secret Photographer Challenge) is one of a handful of Ipernity photo competitions. It is a fun contest giving contestants a chance to pit their skills with often something a little different from their normal Ipernity submissions. Each contestant enters up to three small photos that are not in their Ipernity account already. A winner is brought about afterwards by free votes of the SPC membership. The winner (s) have the prize of honour and also the chance to select the next subject.
Please give it a try - its easy and fun: www.ipernity.com/group/2249054/discuss/190840

Enjoy

A lovely colourful image Herb..................it covers the primary colours perfectly.

I like the "housy-housey" analogy too.............my Mum used to love her weekly bingo session.

They also remind me of this song (although the colours don't quite match) : www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_2lGkEU4Xs

Haha, I used to love that song in my very young days. You have it right there, they do look like you would imagine them in that song. Great that you enjoyed this, rather different shot from me here. Lots of our neighbours when I was kid loved their bingo sessions too. We still have a bingo hall in Oldham, I think. Probably broadcast on line now!

Cheers and take care. Herb

Good that you enjoyed this. An old capture now but timeless in its appeal maybe.

Best wishes and stay healthy.

Perfect title Herb ;-)) The competition sounds fun. Where was this taken?

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Glad you liked it Rosa. It was taken don your way, at Newquay, Cornwall I think, way back in 2014. I used to take a lot of these and then I lost interest.
these SPC competitions are great fun and there is really no work involved other than to pick your photos, resize and send then to the competition organiser. The next comp is 'Still Life'. Give it a go, whilst having plenty of time at home!

Keep healthy. Herb

I have been to Newquay 3 or 4 times but have never seen them!
I will have a look later at the competition. Strange this is, now I'm home all the time, I seem to have a lot to do! Have done a lot more cooking too. Hope you are keeping well. Cheers, Rosa.
