Yes, but it doesn't look so good by the front door of your gaff, does it?

<affronted>

I'm fairly sure that's not your garden gate!

I read the book from cover to cover last night and it's given me ideas I may come to regret, and it's all your fault....

LOL. I deny it. Group effort of the forums, and conspiracy to self harm. You can't pin this on me.

Anyway... aren't you on another thread going on about how comfortable and safe a recumbent trike is, and how that third wheel doesn't really drag... To really qualify that kind of statement, we demand proof.

It's a tough decision but narrowed down slightly by the 'taken especially for the comp' rule.
Uncle Phil had some good un's and I liked Kisrtie's from the tent view but in a close contest Arch has just pipped Summerdays for the lock gate picture.

Woohooo! I won something!

Hmmm, theme... I've thought of dozens over rides on the past few months, and can I think of any?

<pause>

Ok, here's one, and I'm sorry for the non-seasonal theme, if I'd set it in autumn it would be more relevant...

The theme is:

Decay.

It can be rust or mould or compost or, well, anything that qualifies as decaying. It could even be a decaying bike, or just a bike next to something decaying. Plenty of artistic scope I think.

Two weeks?

Congrats Arch. Ooo I know where there used to be an abandoned bike (and I'm due to be working there next week - bet it will have been moved) ... has it a bike theme or decay in general...?

I liked your tent pic, although it confused me for a bit, I assumed the bike was very close outside, which made the perspective all funny....

Summerdays, interpret 'decay' however you like, but there must be a bike or bit of bike in there somewhere. The bike may be decaying, or just posing in shot...

Someone say D.K.?

Argh, my eyes! my eyes!

That's awful.

Hmmmm, DK, very clever.... Not sure if I'll allow it.... Or maybe I will. Blimey this judging thing is difficult!

Decay , rats , pity I can't use this pic , I took it over a year ago but I'll post it anyway.

And I can't go back and take another photo because somebady has cleared it away now.

That beats any bike in poor condition I have seen!!! Do you think it was dumped in that state?

 

[snakehips]

Do you think it was dumped in that state?

I believe it was left there in rather better condition. IIRC there was the merest hint of a lock and chain.
