Wow so many entries !!
Brilliant to see so many of you taking the time to take a picture and bring it to this challenge
There are probably 10 photos that deserve to win, but as the saying goes "there can only be one winner"
So well done @IrishAl
The light, the bare trees, the composition and the sole daff. just hit the spot

Thank you @TeeShot. The place in my photo is one of my fav spots for getting a good photo in different seasons. Spring is now my favourite 😍

For April’s challenge... ⚡️Electric⚡️
Usual rules apply. No trespassing and no photos of bikes hanging on power lines.

We have one of those too, it is called Cragside House, near Rothbury, Northumberland, UK.

It was built in 1880's too, so, no doubt, a close run thing.

Oh I'm sure there are plenty of cases like that! "We were the FIRST, as long as we say so"

A local defibrillator, 'just in case'!

Yep, there are quite a few dotted around. This one is outside the village hall.
Some of the disused telephone boxes have been converted to hold them.

Not very imaginative, but a nice one of pylons...

Nice wheels @yo vanilla ! Do you still see many around in the States as few and far between in UK? Had my 1995 one from new, and still going strong

I can't say I've every caught another one like mine, at least that wasn't on ebay
