Looking forward to your next challenge.

Goodness me, what can I say?

Thank you @Katherine for such a good subject, the number of entries shows how popular it was, twill be a tough act to follow, however..........

My subject is, summer. A photo that needs no words to capture that feeling of sun, warmth, fun and long days of summer out on a bike.

Finishing date, the Sunday night the Tour finishes, July 23rd.

Good luck

Thank you kindly @TeeShot

Right.... to mark the latest TdF victory by Mr Froome, the next theme will be 4.
As ever, a portion of bike must be in the picture and something to do with the number 4 (it could be 4 white birds...).
Closing date is 14th August.

Loads of entries to peruse this comp, making it challenging to judge.
I downloaded every pic to a file so I could check them out anonymously (the pics, not me)

Several runners up, including:-

@Dave 123 for a cheeky entry

@Diogenes The Sarcastic Excellent seat and bike..

Well thanks, I'm honoured to win at my first attempt.
So I Have to set this months competition. I think a flowery theme.
Flowers are nice. How about pics of your bike or you n your bike with Flowers.
Can be in or next to field garden etc. Hopefully should make for some colourful
Pics!
Ends end Oct .
Cheers all.

 

[Evenflow]

Well...

I liked Katherine's flowers in the rain and Pete xxx's rather arty flower market shot.
But... I'm going for Rickshaw phil's calm and serene photo. Had a hectic couple o weeks
and it suited.
Thanks for all the great photos.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Having thought about it overnight I am going to keep it nice and simple this time. We're in a good time of year for some nice atmospheric shots so lets make the most of that.

The theme is Autumn, so let me see what the season means to you.

Usual rules apply: Must be taken after the challenge has been set. Must include your bike, or part of.

You have until the end of November.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

........... this one by @PeteXXX

I liked the interesting angle, it's got some good autumn colours and that sky where you just know straight away that it's not going to feel summery out there.

So, well done @PeteXXX and over to you.

 

[PeteXXX]

I have thought long and hard for the topic for the December challenge.
As it is now almost acceptable to mention the 'C' word in public, the challenge will be........

Usual rules apply. End date shall be sometime on the day of Christmas Eve.

Ho Ho Ho!

 

[PeteXXX]

Not quite so many entries as usual this time, probably due to the time of year, weather dodgyness etc., but, in my humble opinion, this photograph by @DP took my fancy.

Mentioned in dispatches are @biggs682 for finding the thread, and @Dave 123 for persistence

I hereby name @DP as the winner, and 'Custodian of the Badge', as this competitions winner

Happy Christmas folks
