..........but just in case, I'll take my camera with me on tomorrow's group ride

Me too

Indeed. I thought the basic rules were:
- must be specifically taken for the photo comp
- must include autumn leaves

I think peeps are allowed to post (relevant) photos taken before the challenge was set, but they should say when they were taken.

@Rocky, I am not sure you have correctly grasped the parameters of the competition.

I know it was 4 years ago but...

Basically someone sets a challenge which is to take a picture of your bike next to a certain type of monument/landmark/building/interesting feature/anything curious really. The first person that validly fulfills the challenge gets to set the next one. It has to have your bike in the photo, and the person that set the challenge adjudicates whether it passes the challenge.

The idea was that the competition was specifically to encourage photography rather than searching through your hard disk.

It has evolved a bit since then norm, but I agree it has to be a pic taken since the challenge was set

I must stand half a chance this time, then!

Thank you for that clarification, Norm.

Blimey.......I'm speechless.

Now there's a first

(Picks up ball and runs home to mother)

Oh, apart from breaking all of the rules, do you think there's even a small chance I might win?

No way mate ... but there is still time to post another one, unless you live in Scotland where you now can't post an Autumn photo as Winter has arrived

But I am intrigued by your photo - when was it taken - looks like the soft evening light of a summers day? Makes me want to be there, rather than here where I'm trying to decide how many layers I need to put on to get out of bed

Couldn't find my lock so had to hide my bike at the cafe today

The numpty (better descriptions are available on fora with less severe swear filters) put me out of a photography mood but here are a couple I whilst took walking the dog this morning, when all was Good and Cheery in the world (if a little chilly):

Can't see a leaf on top of Snipe's head

I'll try again this afternoon. Hopefully she'll be less bouncy and not so inclined to think everything is Food...

I think a dull green frame would be more successful - still the rust on the chain set helps that to blend in

I do like this one.. with the shafts of sunlight through the trees.
