  • @Dammit, at the risk of this game going the way of bike tag, do you have a hint as to what you have in mind for this week?

  • As well as being a military term, enfilade might also be an architecture term. A suite of rooms formally aligned with each other. This was a common feature in grand European architechture from the Baroque period.

    An enfilade of nine state rooms runs the length of the palace.

    Thanks wiki

  • So carparks.

  • yes, but in Westfield Shopping Centre

  • The last flat we lived in was done as an enfilade (excluding bathroom). It gave a good pretence of being bigger than it was when standing in the kitchen door and looking through four more rooms in a row.

  • Balls, I've just bought an arsenal, (an, not The).

  • Pictures or it didn't happen

  • Hm, and I was just going to order a Mexican takeaway...

  • I'm referring to the architectural term, in that the theme is a view that passes through many structural elements/structures- the traditional sense of this would be a long series of doors along one axis perfectly aligned with one another, but I'd like the interpretation to be looser than that.

    i.e. a shot taken through many napkin rings would meet the theme, as would a shot down the long wing in the palace of Versailles.

  • By the winter of 1864 the civil war was almost over. The big battles had all been fought and only skirmishes remained. One of the last of these was the siege of Habney Park, a remote Georgian town of 2000 souls. The few surviving Confederate troops made their stand in the town's cemetery. Outnumbered, outgunned, starving and desperate, their futile resistance was recorded by local pig farmer and amateur photographer, Thucydides Grant.
    His most famous image, The Final Enfilade, was taken as Unionist cannon opened fire on the doomed men, ripping apart trees and bodies in a devastating salvo.
    "The gunsmoke" wrote Thucydides "drifted among the graves and the eviscerated soldiery as if to obscure whatever difference there remained between the inhabitants of the former and the pitiful remains of the latter".
    Grant lived to be 96 and is credited with taking, in 1888, the first selfie.

  • This theme is challenging me.

  • My faux-civil war snap has proved popular with strangers on Flickr though. They love a bit of post-prod over there.

  • Your bridge shots are one of the reasons it occurred to me

  • ^^^ this - assumed we'd have a classic @mi7rennie bridge pic

    i'm also struggling

  • Me too... interesting theme but pushed for time this week

  • That's my go to if I can't find any other inspiration!

  • I was down at the Barbican today, took a lot of rubbish photographs. So far my strongest contender is the inside of a tube train (in the digital photographs thread).

  • I like that one.

  • #enfilade
    shamefully went for the obvious (round these parts anyway) photo

  • Good to see you and Japan back in the game...
