December photo competition:- VOTE OFF
 

I always try and set a non-bike theme, especially when it is almost too cold to ride.

With Christmas approaching and having just returned from visiting some beautiful Buddhist temples in Thailand I thought this month the theme should be something related.

So your challenge is to sum up in one photo, Religion, Faith, Spirituality.

RULES Please Read them

(Think yourselves lucky, I could have gone for Elephants, Monkeys, Crocodiles as I saw plenty of those! :))

Considering they aren't allowed any money I'd love to know how a monk affords kit like that!

This is the War Memorial where my son laid the Remembrance Day wreath for the Scouts on 11/11/12
We don't go to Church as much, but when we do we always Remember the fallen.

A really awesome pic, I call it "Consensus to controversy" because I'm all arty 'n' stuff, yo'. Desaturated and contrasted from original.

Here is my first competition entry...

Took a couple of months ago in Salisbury Cathedral. It hasn't been edited as much as it appears, as this is 3 exposures merged together for an HDR result.

Annoyingly I can only find this version with my stupid watermark on it. I'll replace it when I can with the real thing.
