Ok so my first time to set the challenge 😬 hopefully this one works...
as we are still in a lockdown of sorts...the theme of this month is “Behind bars”.
Open to everyone, not just those staying at HMP.

 

[IrishAl]

Some ingenious entries this month, particular mention for the one with the chocolate bars, and the one with the lock (2nd attempt) 😃.... But my pick for this months winner is @accountantpete for his home bar shot. Well done!

Many thanks for the vote and words:

The challenge for September is "potholes" with a bonus wheel-rim truing manual for the biggest.

A second photo showing just the pothole is also permitted.

(please take care when attempting the capture).

This month's winner is <drum roll>

I liked the atmosphere of looming menace when coming across this pothole at night so congrats PeteXXX and over to you for the October 2020 challenge.

 

[PeteXXX]

I have thunked..

October's competition is Cycling infrastructure, be it good, bad or strange!

Usual rules, must contain a bike, or part thereof, pic taken in this October etc etc

😊

 

[PeteXXX]

Several good pics there, folks, but the one that caught my eye was the 'steps on a cycle route' by @roubaixtuesday

Over to you @roubaixtuesday

 

[roubaixtuesday]

OK, so if I've understood it correctly I suggest the next challenge and @PeteXXX copies it to the other thread?

So the suggested challenge is "Avenue" which hopefully gives a enough leeway for interpretation without being too all- encompassing. Entries by the end of November please.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

OK, so here goes...

I love an avenue of trees, but also the more inventive entries appeal. Particularly @biggs682 (whose bikes I always covet, they being invariably pleasing on the eye and me being 6'4") and @PeteXXX

@Dave 123 very nearly gets the vote, a most unexpected avenue indeed.

But it's got to be the trees in the end, and despite an honourable mention for @Tribansman @TeeShot has the perfect avenue perfectly set up. How do you get the bike to stay upright?

Over to you

 

[TeeShot]

This is not easy🤔
However I wanted to find a subject that would give multiple opportunities to use your imagination and you camera😎

So, the subject is, Water (including ice)

Usual rules. Picture must be taken between now and the last day of December and must include some part or all of a bike. Good luck

I will do my best to announce the winner on the first day of 2021

 

[TeeShot]

Well first off, thank you all for taking the time and trouble to contribute so many great shots to this little challenge.

Choosing a winner is far more difficult than pressing the shutter, but here goes

With his entry of the River Yealm at Noss, the winner is @Dave123.
I really liked the colour, light, composition and subject. And the water looked pretty good too!!!
Well done Sir, over to you

 

[Dave 123]

Well thank you very much.

so this month the competition is your bike and a boat.

last day is 30/1/21

 

[Dave 123]

So @PeteXXX and @IrishAl came very close indeed, but the winner on size alone is......

@yo vanilla

 

[yo vanilla]

ME?? I never would have guessed! Thank you!

So I choose the new challenge... which is...

Pit Stop

I envision a coffee shop, food truck, fix it station. I fear some of these places may not be accessible due to COVID; hopefully they could be accessible for an exterior shot? If not LMK and we can pick again
