May Photo Competition: Public Art or Strange Architecture... VOTE OFF!!!

[carelesschucca]

First of all a BIG THANKS for voting for my photo from last month.

This month I struggled to think of something for the competition till I passed The Kelpies this morning on my way to Triumph Edinburgh, so came up with the idea that this months subject should be:

PUBLIC ART or STRANGE ARCHITECTURE;

The examples, The Kelpies

Took a trip to Leicester to take this shot of the petrol station canopies after reading about them in the English Heritage magazine. To keep the words down I'll explain on the chat thread http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?p=3010782#post3010782

Sorry folks, it look like richie is having a kip!

I'll keep voting open until I'm back from the pub tomorrow evening (about 10pm). :D

[Richie]

Someone's had a longer Kip, I've not done the photo comp admin side in over 6 months :) lol

[Kenzie]

Isn't Brettus supposed to be doing it?

[Richie]

No, Brettus was bullied into taking over...

[Brettus]

I'm here *puff* *pant* came as quick as I could.

Oops, sorry guys. Kept track through the month for the 25th post to get voting started but 1st of the month was manic as I was in work over the weekend getting stuff sorted for our year end. Then today I was just too distracted to get it sorted. Apologies to all, I'll try to get reminders set so that I get reminded when I'm at home.
Nice choice of topic this month, like the entries too!

Anyway, if no-one has any objections, the votes were pretty easily in favour of Phi-Dan!

Have a think and post up the next topic. I'll do my best to keep time and with any luck might even compete if time allows. I WILL return to full time participation in here, it's not for lack of want that I'm not around much :-/
