What happened to the March competition? Did Brettus forget?

March Photo Competition? http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=216041
Ticking along nicely, it got stickied by a helpful mod but other than that it's in progress :) I'll check in on it before the 25th to give final call then it'll be vote off from 25th.

I think *unless anyone has any objections* that 25th should always be the date it swaps so it is consistent. it does however mean an flexible voting period but might be more memorable than waiting for it to begin. Open to suggestions of course.

I'd take some photos for it myself but none of them here look like spring! 27c yesterday, I didn't pack sunscreen, I'm gonna be Zoidberg soon!

I don't know what the 'artist' was on when he made whatever that is. LOL
But I think one can safely assume this is a chemically inspired art work.

It's located in a tiny village that sits in a valley between two huge mountains in a remote part of the state. There are no chickens or cows within 50 miles.

Comments from people viewing it included, hideous, stupid, wtf is that?

My entry this month ticks something off my list of photos to take so thanks for choosing the subject Careless. I read an interesting piece about this place in the English Heritage magazine last year and it tweaked my interest in unusual architecture.

Thought to be the only surviving example of Parasol Canopies from the 1960's in the UK this is now a Grade II listed site. The magazine showed photos of it in the original Mobil colours but checking out the location for my visit I noted they're now in BP green, which is a shame as I think the blue was nicer.

Thank you everyone for the votes. I think it was very much a vote for the subject matter rather than the image! I had wanted to do something more artistic than a framed snap, but it was a nice day and there were kids waiting to sit on the dogs to eat their lunch. They are a very popular street art!

I've started a new thread for June - good luck everyone!

Nice mole puny. Where did you find it? Drowned? Sad..

punyXpress

04-06-15, 10:18 AM

Don't think it was drowned, but at this ( breeding ) time of the year they will fight, to the death if necessary, for ' rights '
It'll probably stay there for ages. Our cats would never touch them, and even foxes aren't very partial.

Sir Trev

04-06-15, 03:49 PM

Around here you put dead critters on your shed roof and a passing Red Kite swoops down and takes them. The wood pigeon that slammed into our patio door a couple of weeks ago and made it only as far as the bottom of the garden before settling into a dip in one of my raised veg beds quietly passed on a few hours later. I kept watch to make sure a cat/fox did not speed things up. Within two minutes of being up on the shed roof he was flying again, albeit dangling from some talons.

Thankfully Mr LPH does not visit the forum otherwise I fear he'd be entering the competition this month with pics of me riding an ER6 in 35° in a bikini.

As it is I think it's a great theme and I'm going to have to have a good look through my photos.

Amadeus

05-07-15, 09:16 PM

That is a good one.

The only thing I can think of right now is using a batman water slide in my back garden wearing considerably less than the cossie that LPH mentioned (tho the thought of that turns my stomach purely because of the risk of road rash) so isn't suitable for the U rated forum! :-)

I have been to a couple of amazing dams in Thailand but the pics are on my hd at work. Still I'm happy enough with the one already posted. I've also visited the Ladybower dam that's been entered, and that one in the Brecon Beacons and somewhere I've got some pics of the dam at lake Nasser. I like dams.

For those of us with Canon's you can always have a go with the miniature effect filter for this months topic. Take your picture and apply the filter directly on your camera which saves it as a new image. Or find something genuinely small.
