When I was going through the photos of my trip from Bryce Canyon to Coral Pink Sand Dunes I found a shot I forgot I had taken at the Rock Stop. It was of a shelf of votive candle holders; I just loved how they looked en masse.
So I had a look through my files and found some other instances when I filled my frame with multiples of the same object and here’s what I came up with. First, a burst of spring in Central Park with a drift of creamy tulips.
A mound of Rambutan at a market stall in Hawaii made me do a double-take, then reach for my camera.
A stack of ornate pocket mirrors sparkling on the streets of Little India in Jackson Heights, Queens.
And finally, if you ate enough of these, you would almost certainly develop multiple cavities.

Where's my backpack? 
Who would have thought M&M’s could be so photogenic! I really like all the shots cut the votive candle holders are very pretty. Be back…
The M&M store in Manhattan is eye-candy and actual candy rolled into one 🙂
wow those rambutan made my mouth water! and those tulips are divine! ^^
Mmm, I’m hungry for rambutan now! 🙂
they’re my fave! unfortunately, they’re not in season. sigh
Love your photos, will post mine soon

I’ve never seen white m&ms!
Good theme for a post! I always have trouble coming up with ideas.
There’s an M&M store in Manhattan that has them in every colour imaginable. You can even get them personalized with your name printed on them. 🙂
Can they put ‘W’s on them?
You know, Allan, that might be a stretch! 😉
Too hot to sleep (27 deg, 12.45am) so I’m sitting here thinking about multiples. I love these fungi-decorated logs: http://soundslikewish.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/ailsas-travel-photo-challenge-multiples/
Love it, Trish, I actually had a photo of fungi-toting logs that I was contemplating using for this one too. Hope you manage to stay cool! xxx

The pocket mirrors are glorious! Such a nice challenge, with great photos, Ailsa, thank you!

All the best for 2013 *hugs*

Brilliant, Marion, they’re all wonderful, but those goats are adorable. Love the beer kegs (of course) and the hearts are hysterical. Hugs back 🙂
There are white M&M’s? Where can you get them?
White is just the tip of the iceberg – turquoise, silver, lavender, grey – any colour you could imagine you can buy at the M&M store in Manhattan. It’s crazy.
No way!!! I need to check that out- wonder if they ship internationally.
I bet they do, you can even get your name printed on them, that cracked me up when I first heard it. People do it for weddings – get the bride and groom names on colour coordinated M&Ms

Really beautiful, Claire, those lanterns are just so cheerfully vibrant, and I love that cluster of floating lights. xxx
Thank you 🙂

New blog for a new year! Here’s my entry. http://apostadayfor2013.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/travel-theme-multiples/
Fabulous and so inventive, nuvofelt. The melon and footprints are fantastic!
I like all the shots, but I would love to buy a couple of those votive candleholders!
I know, I’m kind of kicking myself that I didn’t. 🙂
Great choice of … shots for the challenge – M&M .. will be my pick, very cool shot.
Haha, the M&Ms are turning out to be everyone’s favourite, who knew? 🙂
With profuse apologies for the non-biogradeability of this post:

OOOPS and now I see the typo!
http://mrscarmichael.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/travel-theme-multiples/
Haha, the earth groans at the sight of all that plastic, Mrs C – love the ‘cake tin’ shot and I’m with you all the way on not getting up until cocktail hour! 🙂
Great idea – again! This will be fun! Your photos are colourful and vibrant of life, but I think my favourite are the serene and beautiful tulips.
Nothing says spring like a field full of tulips dancing in the breeze. I love them too. 🙂

Just love those pictures! Here’s some multiples from Swanage Railway in Dorset. http://annarashbrook.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/travel-thememultiples/
Love it, Anna – I always have to fight the urge to pull levers when I see them. It’s the same thing with big red buttons that say ‘do not push’ 🙂

I love those creamy tulips Ailsa and those pocket mirrors are so stunning
Thanks Jo, although I love all colours of the rainbow, there’s something quite breathtaking about a field of creamy white flowers, especially tulips 🙂

Be careful if you do. They are an addictive time-saver, for the moment.

Those candle holders are beautiful
Thanks Gary, I wish I’d actually bought some, instead of just photographing them. They would have weighed by backpack down though 🙂
LOVE your pictures..I can hardly find the time to do one challenge per week- wish I could do this, mind spinning!
I know what you mean, vastlycurious, to quote that song, time keeps on slipping, slipping slipping into the future!
I keep trying though!!!
