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.

  9. 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!!!

  10. 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.

    These are wonderful and interesting hats, except maybe the last one because it comes with a sad story of murder :(

  26. 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.

  37. 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.

    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.

  44. Very nice photos! I love seeing what people used to wear, even if they were a bit funny-looking, like that first hat.

    Excellent take on the theme. A nice solution to a lack of household hats.

  60. 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.

  61. 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.
