Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Speicher]

Bearing in mind these clear skies and cold weather, what about one with sunrise or sunset? with a bicycle in the foreground? This would depend a bit on people's time of day that they cycle. Just a suggestion, feel free to ignore it,

Noodley did not set a challenge, and everyone was too busy enjoying themselves to take photos. With all this snow and frost around, should we resurrect this thread?

Due to climatic conditions, your bicycle does not need to be in the photo.

You could get some practice in before the spring.

I have my camera with me today, but... (consults US Navy military observatory site... checks through window) damn, I've missed the sunset!

OK, here's me and my bike on the way home last night. Slightly after sunset, I admit, but I thought I'd try and get the ball rolling.

Oh, yes, I recognise that stretch of road....

I will look tomorrow - but I didn't miss sunset - it was lovely:

No bike or frost or snow though!

Remind me, what's the challenge!?


Forget that - I've just read the previous posts again

Here's a late sunset - it was frozen

They're nice - very soothing for my eyes...

I didn't take these but they're rather nice

Have I understood this challenge correctly? Haven't read the whole thread.
Sunset from outside a cottage we hired on Pembroke coast , for New Year , Newydd Dda ! Sorry , no bikes (dim biciau)

I suggested sunsets back in the beginning of December, and then everyone was very busy I expect, either getting ready for Seasonal Fun, doing parties etc, and this thread got forgotten.

I am beginning to regret suggesting that, because the entries so far are all excellent and choosing one could be extremely difficult. Depending who enters, I may call upon an independant adjudicator to assist me, or does someone else wish to decide?

No, it's down to you Speich. We don't really care anyway!

Unaccustomed as I am to judging photo competitions..

It was a very difficult decision between Summerdays' photo and Snakehips' third one, but I think that by the tiniest of tiny margins, Snakehips is my favourite one.

This means that Snakehips gets to chose the next "Challenge". (and set a date for last entries).

A good choice Speich. I preferred Snakehips 1 and 2 but you're the boss!
