As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest, these could be lumped into a "peculiar category" ie. they are peculiar to my interests and may be different from what one usually sees in a collection of travel photos.
For the
Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in 2025 my theme is
Peculiar Pics. During April
I invite you to join me for an online tour of
Peculiar Pics from my digital albums. These will be sourced from my travels between April 2024 to March 2025.

What fun, bells and bookshops and was there a bell inside any bookshop?
ReplyDeleteJill I knew that I would love this post as soon as I saw B for Bookshop. My favourite of these is the Bookshop Gallery. Those walls make me wonder what's on the inside.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to share photos looking forward to seeing more

ReplyDeleteIf I ever get to travel out of the country, I'm definitely going to visit bookstores :)
I used to love bookstores! I spend all my extra money on books. When we moved to Atlanta, I never discovered any bookstores close to me and then I started buying (gasp) ebooks. They just aren't the same, but I do like being able to enlarge the print so I can easily read it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to Poe's poem. I had never read it before.
I love the smell and feel of real books but, for portability and reading in bed, but can't beat eBooks. I can travel with a library in my handbag.
DeleteJust want to chime in that these are some lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks, they a re really snapshots - point and shoot photos.
DeleteNeat! Made me want to travel again. @samanthabwriter from

I can never resist a bookshop too whenever I travel! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteYou must have had fun going through your collection and revisiting your travels to assemble this series. A great variety of both bells and bookshops.
