Picture number 1
The busy street is as busy as a bee hive. The mini shops are as colourful as popart painting.
Picture number 2
The stunning crystal clear blue lake was shimmering beneth the large snowy white mountains. The mountains dissapear into the cloudy pale blue sky
Picture number 3
The moon shined up above the dull rocky plannet. The scattered stars formed an unknown pattern in the jet black sky.
As I meandered past an old derelict building a tall business man briskly walked past me pushing me aside in his rush to work. I could hear the shop door bells ringing and raucous kids running and yelling in the background. On the corner of one of the buildings above the Chinese takeaway was a sign flickering in the corner of my eye. With the kids running down all the dark hidden alleys and everyone walking past knocking me from side to side I began to feel very clostraphobic. Some people moved so fast I felt I was on a race track being one of the racing cars. Others went so slow I had to bustle around them. I soon came to the advertising tv which blurred my vision. Suddenly I was at the end of the food paradise street. I couldn't wait to see what was round that intriguing corner...
The busy bustling street was crowded with all the early morning shoppers.All the colorful advertisement hoardings were covering the massive windows; in the distant you hear the faint blast of a car horn.I then looked behind me an saw a huge mob of people queuing to get into one of the clothes shop with 90% off all prouduts sign in the window.
Photo 2:
The monstrous grey lumps of rock stood out vividly in the beautiful surroundings.The peaks of the mountains were covered in crunchy white snow like icing on a iced bun.The glistening sky blue water was lying in the middle of a bowl like environment.The trees are green carrots sticking the wrong way up out of the ground.You can feel the brittle wind attacking your face.
Photo 3:
The lumpy moon surface was surrounding me as I stepped out of the lunar module onto ,what looks like sponge but not.The ground was as grey as a piece of granite.If I looked up I could see the glimmering colors of earth,it was breathtaking.The craters were enormous and very deep.The sky was a spine tingling jet black.All the white stars looked like spots on a teenager's face.
photo 1 as crowded as an unopened cereal packet a small elevator with 30 people in it photo 2 a lake as clear and blue as the bright blue sky snowy and beautiful mountains in the distance stones and greenery tastefully chosen to decorate the beautiful land as if it was the Queen's birthday dress photo 3 as magical child's picture book an astonishing view stars as bright as Avatar freckles Earth as abstract and colourful as a bouncy ball
Picture 1: The enormous crowd of hurried people are like a stampede of angry elephants, rudely barging everyone out the way, and the ordinary market is like their wild green home of nature and wonder.
Picture 2: The magnificent,lush-blue lake perfectly mirrored the breathtaking mountains of jagged-grey rocks, each individual and unique like humans. Also, the solid and unmistakeabley brown tree trunk rooted in the air and formed a green, emerald-like branches, calmly swaying in the soothing breeze.
Picture 3: The stars shine in the dull-black sky like millions of gently floating light bulbs, hanging in the motionless air of blank, dead stillness. Earth is like a perculiar shaped marple bursting with indescribable colour and wonder.
Photo 1: A colourful sea of people flooding a small chinese street with little shops down the sides.
Photo 2: A vast lake with water as clear as a crystal surrounded by a huge snowy mountain range looming overhead. Lush emerald green trees stand tall next to a field of small grey jagged rocks.
Photo 3: Small mountains of hard rock stand starkly against the jet black sky. Tiny white stars crowding around a sky blue mysterious planet. Minature sharp stones lie scattered messily across the dull grey surface of the moon.
The street filled up with crowds of busy people walking to their destinations like a steady rhythm of music.
Photo 2
The Turquoise glass water glistened between the dinasaur size mountains. Rocks huddled up together like friends,with different personalities.A lone jade spiky tree looks upon the vast view.
Photo 3
The burnt marshmellow ground lay untouched away from civilization.An eye watching from its black blanket,surrounding by 1,000 small fairy lights,lighting up the sky.
Photo 1 The bustling street was crowded with people, all talking loudly amongst themselves, all trying to be heard like mums at a school coffee morning. The buildings over-hang the street, watching the people like a lion ready to attack.
Photo 2 The rocks were like giant grains of sand sitting like a castle wall holding back the water. The clear blue water breathed slowly. The surface of the water lay flat, undisturbed, asleep like a child. Beyond, lay high mountain walls decorated with trees of every shape and size climbing up to reach the top.
Photo 3 The earth lay floating, watching the moon like a cat, checking for movement. The moon was still. Nothing, except massive waves of grey rock dunes, rather like the dunes in the desert. In some places, giant craters like dents in golf ball. The earth watched.
Photo 1: The busy street buzzed with excitement. Thousands of passers by rushing to their unknown destination, wanting to know the secrets of their future. Photo 2: The crystal blue lake sat there silently waiting for somthing to happen. The mountain tops secrets were spread by the wind into the stiff rocks ears.Silence.Waiting.Nothing. Photo 3: The moon floated in the nothingness that was space. It stared into earths eyes like a cat does with it's prey. All of the tiny stars watching and waiting for something to happen. Waiting for someone to come. One day we did...
The working ants were busy bustling their way into the colony. Many comunicating and others looking for food, water and a place to sleep.
photo 2
The feeling of home and being free, a beautiful glistening lake, the smell of fresh open air, jumping on stepping stones and feeling small against the large mountains.
photo 3
Black, grey, white dusty lumps of stone, sugar and ice. Earth stuck in the stars a lifetime away. Lonely,cold and sad.
Photo 1 The different coloured working ants were busy bustling in the street. Some were communicating,some looking for food and others for a place to sleep.
Photo 2 The feeling of home and being free. The beautiful glistening lake shining bright, the smell of fresh open air, huge stepping stones and feeling small beside the huge, tall mountains.
Photo 3 Black, grey and white stones of dust and ice. The round Earth stuck in the dotty stars in a pitch black hole. Lonely, sad and cold.
The multi-coloured lane was as tightly packed as a suitcase bound for an exotic destination. Mountinous towers loom above the busily scurrying humans below like a colony of active ants. All sorts of different smells engulf me as I dash past unsuspecting strangers all unique in their own way. Markets stalls are everywhere; about to pounce if you don’t enter and buy their intriguing contents.
The gentle sound of birds singing raised my hopes as I entered the lush emerald landscape; my feet leaving record of my presence in the soft soil. The colossal expanse of water was as flat as a pancake. Rocks distinctive with the fascinating colours convey a life of their own- The snow-capped mountains are like teachers towering above their pupils – defending and nuturing.
The moon is a thumbprint in an ink pad, leaving craters across its surface. The midnight sky was as black as an abandonded cave, the stars like bats eyes – the only source of illumination. The devastating. hostile moonscape stole my final emotion. The silence was deafening...

Picture two: The beautiful mountains are worshiped by the solum trees below.Electric blue water covering unknown plants and beyond our imagination.Wild as can be the nature rules.
Picture three: This unthinkable place is like heaven .No-one knows how it feels until they come to this place of beauty. The dents are seas but they're frozen .each step is a miracle in it self .Come and see this wonderland.
Photo 1: This is a busy bustling street in china. Colourfull street, lots of people. Photo 2: A beautiful, maginificent lake. The lake is glisning in the sunlight. Terqoise blue waters, crysal white sky. Photo 3: It looks like you can see the moon from another plannet. Rocky, Pitch black sky, twinkling stars.
I heard an indistinct echo in my ears of whispers and whimpers, boxing me in with me and my paranoia. As I gaze longingly at the elecectric blue earth that lay somnolent next to the iridescent stars that stay still and deceased. My fright ricocheted vigarously in my head.

The city people are rushing to work like a colony of ants chatting like monkeys in the rainforest.
photo2
As the ice cold mountain peaks between the granite mountains , nature flourishes inside the electric blue lake.
photo3
The Earth is like a hawk's eye staring at the Moon. There is no living thing and it is very grey, lonely and quiet like a graveyard.
The busy street full of people were cramped in the small road.
The breathtaking veiw of the peaceful lake was soothing and relaxing.
The stillness of the moon was amazing, and the silence was ear peircing. The rocky craters of the moon looked like melting, milky looking ice-cream.

Photo one:A busy street for a busy day. The sky is a bit gloomy with unhappy people....
Photo two: A beautiful scene cool,clean air to clean the
soul.A bright sunny ray from heaven to lift the spirits...
Photo three:One small step for man,one giant leap for man kind... A magical place where only the most wonderful and intelligent minds can go.
I really like these photos.Apart from the first one.For some reason I can just imagine myself being gloomy and thinking about picture 2 or 3.
Photo 1:
* The people in the crowded city in the middle of Asia were like a a swarm of bees all trying to get into a hive at once.
Photo 2:
* The electrifying blue lake shone brightly under the gigantic mountains as the sun shot lasers of light at it.
* The mountains were like giants as they stood over the elf like trees.
* The zingy blue lake stood completely still like a sheet of glass.
Photo 3:
*The minuscule rock was as lonely as an orphan.
* The earth shone brightly over the the cheese like moon

The bright blue lake shimmers while the icing covered mountains stand tall as they have done for centuries.

The people in the busy street are rushing to get their favourite things from the colourful stores.
Picture 2
The crystal clear lake was beneath all the breathtalking mountains. The gleming sun stared down at the crystal,clear,fresh lake.
Picture 3
The amazing moon felt really gravely and rocky as I stepped onto the rough sand. As I saw the amazing sight I was speechless.
Lovely Pictures!

Photo 1: This is a busy bustling street in china. Colourfull street, lots of people.
Photo 2: A beautiful, maginificent lake. The lake is glisning in the sunlight. Terqoise blue waters, crysal white sky.
Photo 3: It looks like you can see the moon from another plannet. Rocky, Pitch black sky, twinkling stars.

I heard an indistinct echo in my ears of whispers and whimpers, boxing me in with me and my paranoia. As I gaze longingly at the elecectric blue earth that lay somnolent next to the iridescent stars that stay still and deceased. My fright ricocheted vigarously in my head.
