Sun. We’ve done sunset before, but what about when the sun, in its full glory, is the feature of your photo? Here’s a picture of a Roman alleyway, and the sun transforms this normal scene into something magical with its rays.

Share a picture with the SUN! 

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 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

    Confession: I didn’t meet the challenge, because I didn’t feature the full sun in my image. Stop by to know why.

      Hello Rick :) Thank you for your honest advice and your wish to help me with my photo taking efforts. I will leave you a reply on my “two subjects” challenge on my post. I have also published something for this week’s “sunny” challenge. I admire your work and will take your advice any time.

    Great theme this week! I’m loving more time out in the sun now that it’s spring. Here’s a cool shot of the sun I snapped from a car window on a road trip…

    Hi All,

    I’m fudging a little on this weeks challenge. I guess I was a little fearful about looking at that fiery star in the sky. Instead of the sun I photographed something “so amazing that keeps us star gazing”.
