In response to Paula’s prompt where one word or all; one photo or many can depict the five words chosen for the month. The words are: candescent, algid, angular, auricomous, festive.

The Terrace theatre at Tinonee, NSW is one of the smallest cinemas in the world and certainly the smallest in Australia. Opened in 1993, it has 22 seats in a building constructed in the late 1800s. Showing 35mm films on original projecting equipment the decor fits with the atmosphere down to the candescent lighting held by a couple of art deco figures on the stage and the chandelier in the seating area.

Algid is described by the dictionary as a cold and lonely word as it is the only word to come from the latin word algere meaning to feel cold. In these landscapes I know I felt cold and just a trifle lonely.

Angular is the best way to describe this structure at the mine at Broken Hill.

When auricomous came up I have to admit that the perfect photo for this word did not come to mind because I had no idea what the word meant. Once I found it was having golden hair or yellow hair I knew I had the photo to fit the bill.

People are festive in different ways world wide.

Our festive spirit is just a little more subdued.

Paula’s prompts are great – this one I learnt two new words and such a lot of memories as you search for that one perfect photo to display your new word.
Hope all goes well tomorrow with the move.

You managed to surprise me again and to surpass my expectations. Thank you for explaining the word “algid” and for that beautiful auricomous that made me smile 🙂 Have a great 2018, Irene!

Glad I made you smile and thank you for expanding my vocabulary. Once I knew what the word meant my nephew in a wig immediately came to mind. Hope your 2018 is a good one too Paula.

Paula’s posts are an education these days, aren’t they, Irene? Thanks for the helpful explanations. 🙂 🙂

They are indeed an education. That is some of the fun of it. You’re welcome. They are certainly words that aren’t in common usage in this neck of the woods.

Irene, who but you would have a perfect photo for each one of these words? And thanks for the definition for the two I didn’t know either. I do, however, think that auricomous child needs a more convincing dye job!

This is one photo I did put in a photo editor. The wig was always yellow but not as bright as it is. When I black and whited the face and surrounds for some reason the hair started to glow.
