The CDP theme day for May 1, 2022, is Shadows. They hide from the sun, yet they move. They may be hard, even harsh, created by a spotlight in a dim room. They may be ephemeral, cast from the glow of a flickering candle. Where do light and dark meet in your city? The Linky is open from April 28 to May 4, 2022.
The CDP theme day for April 1, 2022, is Symmetry. We may think of something with two imirror-image halves. But symmetry can be more complex, anything from a Star of David to the dome of the Florence Duomo to ways of writing a musical fugue. What is reflected upon itself in your city? This is a photo of a box of tissues on my desk that I suppose I took one day when I was bored at work. The Linky is open from March 28 to April 3, 2022.
There are many ways to be alone. It may be by choice, as with some aesthetics. Some seek it in the wilderness. There are unfortunate people who are, not by choice, isolated within a community.

As is our custom, the City Daily Photo January theme is Picture of The Year. Did you end 2021 feeling like you crawled out from under a rock like Seattle’s Fremont Troll here? Or did you find a way to achieve peace and joy amidst the tumult? Our members share an image that expresses their strongest impression.
What do City Daily Photo members see in the future? It could be dark, or humanity could turn a corner and make a brighter future. This image is the first thing you see as you descend into the 9/11 museum beneath New York’s World Trade Center. It reminds us that years to come will link us to our actions of today and in the past.
The world is not a tidy place. Big messes could include a child’s toy dump, as here, but the possibilities are endless. The mess doesn’t have to be physical. It could be personal, social and certainly political. What disorder do you find in your city?
This famous statue in the Louvre is an image of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. Winners are victorious, aren’t they, but over what? A competitor or perhaps yourself? Find out what City Daily Photo members see coming out ahead.
The September theme seemed like fun when the idea occurred to the admin. Now it, um, seems hard but we know CDP members are up to the challenge. The expression, as it is commonly used in English, refers to something that is obvious but remains unnoticed. However, we could also think of an object close to that part of the face. Any other ideas?
Those of us inn the tropics and northern hemisphere know all about sticky at this time of year. What clings to you? The subject is a challenge so we are leaving the Linky open a full week, through August 7.
