Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

This.

Except I used a hand whisk.

I have had much better results since I switched back to lard from vegetable oil and using individual tins too. I think getting the fat as hot as possible before adding the batter is key.

He needs to heat the fat in the tin in the oven.

I wish he could get it to rise like that...
I hate not being able to cook/stand/sit/...

Don't give up yet. He should keep practising.

A mahoosive thank you for all the entries this time. Several times I'd thought I'd seen my favourite but there have been so many pictures of beautiful scenes, both rural and urban, and so many eye-catching gates, doors, arches and barriers to choose from.

We have also been treated to 1 heron,1 crow but no egret; cakes; lakes and rivers; feet; a great photo from Rocky that meets the the rules; and the secret of the black moob!

Special mentions for: Entrance to Atlantis by @potsy and River exiting Mountains by @djb1971

Pictures that nearly won (in order of appearance): Barrier (2) by @SatNavSaysStraightOn ; Vernans House by @User14044 ; Norham Castle by @User9609 ; The Pound by @summerdays ; Attingham Park by @Rickshaw Phil ; Church gate with lantern by @BigAl68 ; Lion Gate by @Mark Grant : Heron in an archway by @Mark Grant and Church gate with cross by @summerdays .

And the winner is....Archway at end of Library

by @summerdays who coincidently also took the most pictures , beating @BigAl by 1, and the only picture that had a negative score for The rusty gate!

 

[AndyRM]

A worthy victory.

Oi that rusty gate had/has got character.... I've been to busy baking, taking photos, gardening and riding my bike to change it

As to my photo I found out a little bit more about it:

The Great Gatehouse (grid reference ST583727), also known as the Abbey Gatehouse, is a historic building on the south side of College Green in Bristol, England. Its earliest parts date back to around 1170.[1] It was the gatehouse for St Augustine's Abbey, which was the precursor of Bristol Cathedral. The gatehouse stands to the cathedral's west, and to its own west it is abutted by the Bristol Central Library building. The library's architectural design incorporated many of the gatehouse's features.[2][3][4]

I thought it was a bit OTT in a library design.

I will have a little think and let you know on what the new comp could be.... As always when it's not your turn you think of things and now it is my turn my mind has gone blank!

Whoops!

Shows how much I rely on the predictive text on the hudl. I was on the PC for a change to view the pictures on a large screen.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

If the next challenge is fog... I can do that one as well...
There is another hill beyond that car!

 

[potsy]

It's so foggy I can't even see the car

Her lens is so misted up I can't even see the fog

 

[hopless500]

Am I too late???? Took this one (ahem ) fairly recently. As you can see, it is very local but I have no herons in it so it probably doesn't qualify
