Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[summerdays]

In some ways that part of the photo challenge was a bit hard on those hard northern types... I remember seeing some fact about the rate that spring marches (crawls would almost be more appropriate) from the tip of Cornwall northward to the top of Scotland. That must make it hard to find signs of spring for those folk.

At about a third of a mile an hour, I gather...

As far as the growing season goes, there is probably about 4 weeks difference between Cornwall and the north of Scotland.

Fame at last, although the lack of other entrants reduces the glory somewhat!!

Okay, this time I want a piccie of the bike and an interesting or clever shot with a door or a gate in it. Best portal shot wins on Sunday Feb 14th at 7pm.

Stopped this morning to put on my waterproof trousers and noticed these flowers next to my bike ... not quite signs of spring I was hoping that there would be a gate in the photo when I read the new comp but no there isn't.

Oooh, excellent, York's heaving with doors.... oh, and... ah. Yes, clever... No, I'm not telling...

Oh, and I spotted one tiny patch of snowdrops in bud at the centre this morning...

I just had a look at the pics of my bikes in my profile and two have got doors in and one a gate...problem is they're not clever or interesting.

*puts on thinking cap*

This aint going to win but it's my bike as seen through the door of my tent when I was cooking dinner on tour last summer - near Newtonmore in the highlands.

Ok, two entries here, and I have more ideas, if I can organise myself in the week...

This is really a bit dull, but I'm showing off...

This is a bit more crytic. Lock gates are gates, aren't they?

 

[rich p]

Kirstie, I like it!

Arch - very lateral thinking too!

Come on some of you other snappers

Oh ... good idea Arch ... am I allowed to copy the lock gates idea ... I might be going past some tomorrow ... still trying to work out my route, though it might have to be on the way back depending on how late/lost I am.

Copy away, SD.

Lock gates, open gates, who cares

One of the arches at Castle Howard:

The gateway to my bike/log shed:

A gateway to the Underworld, perhaps?

I may actually take some just for the comp if I get a chance...
