Surprise. There was talk of some sort of apocalypse today, but so far, so good. Big surprise! In honor of the world continuing, show me some surprises! If you’re at a loss what to share, I bet many of you have surprises hidden under a tree or in a closet somewhere. My photo is about the first big snowfall which surprised us overnight here in Italy. I woke up to a world covered in white and these were my first steps into the snow.

Share a picture which means SURPRISE to you!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.

3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS.

  3. Is snow in your part of Italy as rare as snow in North Central Texas? If so, that is a surprise and wonder. Hope it “sticks” around for you. 🙂 Happy Holidays to all the challengers.

    1. Every snowfall is a surprise to me, especially since I didn’t grow up with regular snowfalls. Snowfall in big cities always feels like more of a surprise than in the countryside 🙂

  21. Ah yes, the snow – you are always in for surprises with that kind of weather. Beautiful ones as far as I am concerned, because you see things that are different …

      1. Sorry, Sara, I just posted it a couple of minutes ago – it certainly has a wrong date. That’s happened before, and I do not like it. I will try to fix this … bugger!

      2. Sara, I still think my link got deleted because of a bug concerning the date: I edited and published the post yesterday. When it went online it switched to Dec 16. I’ve had that happening before, it lead to some disarray concerning the chronology of my posts.

        But I never thought it a big deal because I could fix it in time.

        Now I wonder: How and when will those following my blog see the page? How can I avoid this kind of confusion in the future?

        As for the rules for this photo challenge: Did you mind me naming the post after an older photo challenge? I did it because I was looking for some continuity within my blog … and hoped that nobody would mind.

        I have to take my pictures from an archive: I work with film – there is often more than a week between the initial click and a visible picture. If working with archived material is wrong in that sense – well, then I bid this challenge farewell.

        It is fun, though – and the themes are inspiring. Thanks for that. Cheers, Tobias
