Photo Hunt - Hats
Picasso painting at L'Orangerie, Paris
Fleet Air Arm memorial, London
Archbishop Luwum of Uganda, murdered by Idi Amin and commemorated at Westminster Abbey
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is hats. I don't wear a hat and the not-wife doesn't outside of weddings so here are a few photos of subjects with hats.
I love it! These are all great. The scary part is I have some similar hats that I wear. When my daughter was little she would ask me to take off my wilder hats before we got too near her school. Happy Weekend.
Wonderful choices. Living on the other side of the world, I never get to see these works of art and it is so good to have someone bring them to me. My hat is up.
Lovely entries for hats. Thought of posting this kind of entry as I am not a hat type person. But as this area where I live is not so arty I didn't know where to find such statues. So I went back many years in my photo albums for this weeks entry.
Wow - you really thought about this entry. Well done for this week! Have a great weekend. :) http://lesliesmyers.blogspot.com/2009/01/photohunt-hats-graduation.html
And a nice collection of hats it is. I especially like the historical connections with each of the images. This is a great contribution to the theme.
By the way, over at my blog I'm starting a new photo-meme for Sundays based on my Sunday Scenery posts. The details can be found on the Sunday Scenery Photo Meme page on my blog. I hope you'll consider joining the fun.
I love these shots. Although the Picasso is amazing, I think my favorite is the last statue. I've posted the many hats (sort of) of my 3 year old, Tyler. You can see them here.
i only wear a hat when it is realllly cold outside. like now :) then, a stout wool hat over my ears and a nice wool scarf with a heavy coat and gloves :)
I was baffled with last week's theme for hats, had to search through for someone wearing a hat :P You've got a cool set of powerful statues with hats on them :)

I wear hats in winter -- with the sub-zero temps we have as I type, I simply must! But nothing as fabulous as those in your photos! Thanks!!!

REally great take on the theme, and so far very unique. well done.

Those are very interesting hats!
Great photo choices for the theme! Oddly this is the second time today that the topic of Idi Amin came up for me.
Have a great weekend and thanks for your visit :)
I knew you would have some good stuff Jams, I am back in the hunt, stop by.
Very interesting -- especially the last. Thanks for sharing and educating.
These are wonderful and interesting hats, except maybe the last one because it comes with a sad story of murder :(
Happy weekend!

I posted a live version, but yours are wonderful choices! Beautiful!

JyLnC - Hats
I love this.
Once again, you don't disappoint us...fantastic hat photos. I'd love to have that Picasso in my own living room. LOL
I'm not a hat person, but I found 'hats' around our home that will work for the hunt. Come on over if you can. I would love to have your company.
And a nice collection of hats it is. I especially like the historical connections with each of the images. This is a great contribution to the theme.

That is so lovely pictures, keep it up and check out also mine! Enjoy your weekend TC :)

These are hats that I dare not wear. Ithink my hat is cuter. :)
Happy weekend jams!

Very good selection of hats ! I suppose you don't wear any either !
Very nice photos! I love seeing what people used to wear, even if they were a bit funny-looking, like that first hat.
I did Photo Hunters today, too! Hope you get a chance to visit.

Excellent take on the theme. A nice solution to a lack of household hats.
I really love that middle one. The expression on his face is so haunting.
That's a great mix of hats, jams. Don't think I've seen any others the same.
Have a good weekend.
Hats in works of art.... love it!
Fabulous hats!
Very nice hats! Pls check mine here

Beautiful choices. Unique hats. Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my hat photohunt post.
Those are some crazy hats. How do they come up with such fashions?
Thanks for stopping by.

Interesting assortment of hats, Jams.
Different hats for different occupations... These hats you showcased can never cause the wearers headaches, compared to mine *lol*
Hope you are having a great weekend, Jams :)
A great way to illustrate the theme. I like them all but especially the Picasso. I haven't been to the Orangerie for a good few years.
beautiful subjects! great post as well.
ope you had a great weekend. :)
Great choices for the hat theme!
Fascinating collection of hats, Jams. ThanX for stopping by.
I was baffled with last week's theme for hats, had to search through for someone wearing a hat :P
You've got a cool set of powerful statues with hats on them :)
Sorry that I'm late with the comment.
Good idea to post art. I submitted a few times to Photo Hunt, thinking it had to be original photos.
That Picasso is one of my personal favorites, by the way.
