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.

Nice mix of hat photos here Jams. I love that Picasso, so warm in feeling, almost cheerful.
Happy weekend.

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!!!

Carver said...

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

 gmirage said...

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

Carin said...

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.

stan said...

that's a fine and regal collection of tops!

Tom said...

Great entries!

They all seem serious. They don't like their hats? :)

I love this.

Hootin Anni said...

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.

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

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.

eastcoastlife said...

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

billie said...

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 :)

Gattina said...

Very good selection of hats ! I suppose you don't wear any either !

Rebecca Mecomber said...

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.

Daisy said...

I really love that middle one. The expression on his face is so haunting.

Liz Hinds said...

That's a great mix of hats, jams. Don't think I've seen any others the same.

Have a good weekend.

Interesting assortment of hats, Jams.

Four-eyed-missy said...

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.

ipanema said...

sammawow said...

dixymiss said...

Fascinating collection of hats, Jams. ThanX for stopping by.

Napaboaniya.Elaine Ling said...

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.

Unknown said...

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.
