Next Photo will have something wrecked.....

[sheeny]

This is a mate of mine's handiwork! (He'd love me for saying that!:lol:).

We had our rescue trucks on display at the local show when we got the call to a truck prang not far from town. A loaded chip truck had rolled on a not too sharp corner and come to rest against a tree.

On arrival at the scene the driver was trapped by one leg between the tree and the roof of the cab. The bonnet was also folded back between his leg and the roof of the cab. I started work on spreading the roof/bonnet away from the tree to release his leg while the ambos worked on the driver.

We'd been there several minutes when I recognised the driver's voice, as a close mate of mine (and he was also a rescue operator). I was having some difficulty getting grip with the spreaders on the fibreglass of the roof and bonnet so I had to resort to some brute force to keep them in place while another rescuer got some packing to stop it all from collapsing on his leg again.:rolleyes: It was quite frustrating trying to communicate the urgency to get some packing without also worrying the driver who understood everything we were doing and our prowords!

Later we found out he's had to swerve off the road to avoid an oncoming small truck on the wrong side of the road. When the truck fell over, he was thrown through the windscreen and was rolling along the side of the road beside the bonnet of the truck. He was quite unrecognisable to look at! The other truck didn't stop.

The next photo will have something ecstatic in it.

[Dennis]

Ouch! The accident sounds awful and I hope that Pam has since recovered as fully as possible, given the damage done.

Cheers

Dennis

[supernova1965]

It was bad and before my time with pam over 25 years ago this photo was taken last year and the marks are still visible as you can see. She is starting to feel the knee now but was walking normally real quick I think it had something to do with not being able to smoke while in hospital and she really worked on getting back on her feet so she could go outside to smoke.:rofl:

[koputai]

OK, it's been a month with no response. Warren, you want to choose another topic?

Cheers,
Jason.

[supernova1965]

Gull on a post.

[sheeny]

Machine heads on my classical...

The next photo will have destruction in it.

Al.

[gary]

The Battle of Hue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hu%E1%BA%BF) began with the Tet Offensive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tet_Offensive) on January 31st 1968 when
North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong (VC) soldiers swept into the city.
A major target was the 1st ARVN Division (South Vietnamese Army) stationed
within the fortress walls of the Imperial Citadel, the Vietnamese equivalent
of Beijing's Forbidden City.

North Vietnamese forces managed to infiltrate the Citadel (http://www.alphareconassociation.org/huecitadel.jpg) and one of the
bloodiest battles of the war ensued.

In the counter-attack, US Marines entered the fray and A-4 Skyhawks
dropped bombs and napalm on the Citadel and Imperial Palace.

The Battle of Hue resulted in the estimated death of over 8780 combatants
and 844 civilians.

The bullet ridden and burnt out building in the attached image sits atop
the north-west inner wall over looking the moat and bears testimony to the
intensity of the conflict.

The next image will show something with Construction in it -

[koputai]

88667

Cheers,

[gary]

We had hired a driver for the day to take us to the remote jungle
temple of Beng Mealea. Though only 63km from Angkor, the trip takes
several hours. This particular site had been a Khmer Rouge stronghold as
recently as 1996 and sees comparatively few visitors compared to Angkor.

When we arrived, I purchased a couple of entry tickets from a woman wearing
the drab official uniform of the Ministry responsible for administering the country's
ancient sites. As she passed the tickets to me, I noted she had lovely manicured hands
and as I glanced up I could see under the peaked military-like cap a beautiful
face. She didn't smile and I thought she looked a little sad. I guess she may have
been about 19 years old.

She told us in English that because some climbing was involved, a guide
was necessary and was included in the ticket price. She led us down the path
to the spectacular ruins and we attentively listened to her as she pointed out
various points of interest. Eventually, we reached some steps we would need to climb
and she introduced us to another guide who would take us from there. She had such
a lovely face to look at, if not a little melancholic, I felt a little disappointed to
have to part with her company.

An hour or so later, having scrambled over the ruins, we came to the front of
the temple complex again and our original guide was there to meet us.
This time I was happy to see she wore a smile. As is the custom, I handed
her a gratuity, stepped back, clasped my hands together, gave a bow and thanked her.

When I bowed down, I caught a glimpse of the gap between her black polished
shoes and the cuff of her uniform trousers and I could see for the first time that
she had a pair of artificial legs.

The problem with landmines is that they are a barbaric, indiscriminate weapon,
that injure and kill the innocent and often young, long after the conflict is
over.

I don't think I will ever forget that young women.



The next photo will have a "yacht" in it.

[gary]

[gary]

After fierce fighting between the Khmer Rouge and North Vietnamese Army in 1979,
this French colonial post office built in 1922 atop Bokor Mountain in
southern Cambodia was left in ruins, its walls now covered with brightly
colored fungal moulds.

The next image should have something prehistoric in it.

[astronobob]

Well, No dinosaurs around here, so this Rock formation at Girraween Nat Park on the Granite Belt should suffice : )

The next image should have an animal with some bright red colour on it.

[Dennis]

Here we go…

I’m not up on the taxonomy of all earthly creatures, but I assume a reptile is an animal and the red chest whilst not intrinsically bright, is quite prominent for this creature.;)

The next photo will have a Christmas theme to it – an easy, topical challenge!

Cheers

Dennis

[gary]

The next image should depict celebration.

[bartman]

Fireworx

'Something that scares you'

Not necessarily this specific spider but I grew up with lots of funnelwebs around, and on a couple of occasions in, my house so they're not my favorite animals. Beautiful though.

The next image should be related to "Transport"

Hugh

[Kunama]

My personal "transport" (Cirrusblue 1989 BMW E24 635CSi at Mt Stromlo, Canberra)

[AstralTraveller]

Black Swans asleep on the water. Never knew they did that but it makes sense; fewer predators out there.

I've been in meetings today so the next photo will be of 'waffle'.

[RB]

How about we give this thread a kickstart, let's have a wildcard.
Any subject you like to start it up again.

:)

[Dennis]

Unrelated to wasps, the next photo will have something to do with “ashes” in it…

Cheers

Dennis

[Regulus]

This theme has sat for a while while we all thought about it. Turns out, for me solution was in the wood heater on my sun-deck. I thought it would be too acidic an environment, but some plants usually considered weeds seem to like it. I should leave it and see what, if any, the second generation of plants will be.
Trevor

Meanwhile The Next Photo Will Have the; "Essence of Home"

From the Ashes

[ourkind]

Essence of home of what was once a home ...

Took the wrong turn off the freeway on my way back from Canberra and found this lovely abandoned cottage.

The Next Photo will have Crowds

[Dennis]

Okay, here we go…a big, festive and happy crowd from the Brisbane Xmas Myer Parade and Light Show at City Hall.

The next photo will have something to do with “repeating patterns”.

Cheers

Dennis

[owl]

Ok hopefully there is a pattern here:D the net photo will have something to do with "Grains"

[Regulus]

Ya killing me here Win. I finally got home at 10pm and processed 'the photo' to take the repetition challenge and there u were. Grrrr.
Still, I like your catch. And the next theme.
Trevor

[MrB]

'Spent Grain'
This is what is left of the grist (crushed barley) after mashing & sparging (lautering) when the wort has been drained for my homebrew :D

The next picture will be Shocking.

[Dennis]

This seagull was shocked that we wouldn’t share our chips with it…

The next photo will have something to do with “flight”.

Cheers

Dennis

[Regulus]

These are not the sharpest photos I've ever taken, but they do meet the criteria.
They were a long distance away when I spotted them as I drove along a country road.
Using the EOS600D and 70-300IS USM lens I managed to get a few picks but these are just about 15-20% of the original image area.

The next photo will have something to do with 'Looking Down'.

Trevor

[sheeny]

Here's an oldie... Taken during a Vertical Rescue Demonstration off the roof of the Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour.

The next photo will have something cute in it.

Al.

[owl]

Nce one Al and Trevor!

Here is one I caught at the Rue de Richelieu in Paris, I have always liked bubble men:-). Now, the picture dosent do it justice but it was absolutely wonderful to see the little kids ( and grown ups) look on in fascination at the gigantic bubbles. Cute as a button they were…

The next pic will have something "tinier than a thumb nail"

[Dennis]

Okay, here is an ant from our back garden taken 3 days ago. These are quite cute in that they don’t bite…

The next photo will have something very large in it.

Cheers

Dennis

[Kugelblitz]

Those are some nice close up pictures Dennis.

As for something very large, here is Pyramid Mountain
Taken on New Years Day, while on holiday in my homeland of Canada.

The next photo will have something to do with "mystery".

[Regulus]

Ok, here's the mystery: W??
What? Why?

In fact pretty well every railway sign for train drivers is a mystery to most not in the know, but what does a big yellow W mean?

The next photo will have some thing to do with "Graffiti" (preferably GOOD graffiti)

[Dennis]

I think that the "W" sign may be instructing the driver to pull or blow the “Whistle” as a warning?:shrug:

Cheers

Dennis

[Regulus]

I think you're right Dennis. I posted it on Facebook and got more info than I really needed on railway signs.
:)
I wonder; Now that the picture is demystified does it still meet the theme?
:lol:
Perhaps the next picture will have something to do with 'Mystery" OR "Graffiti"

Trevor

[ourkind]

A mysterious light shines beyond illuminating the soul within every photographer .. or something like that :lol:

next photo should contain Horizons

[Regulus]

Good photo Carlos, very 'Close Encounters' :)

[pluto]

Not sure if this fulfills the brief of Horizons (the plural), but here is one horizon, a very bleak horizon in Norway.

The next image should have something Ancient

[Regulus]

Great catch Hugh. The blue sky and dark clouds all come together on the horizon with the boats wake. Good shot.

[owl]

A few years ago, I went for a medical conference to Dubai, landed and spent the first day listening to such rivetting monologues that it awakened the travel bug within. so promptly I packed my bags and took of to Jordan for a few days where I found this hole in the wall albeit a very "ancient" one :-)
I did come back to attend the last day of the conference though but had no trouble sleeping midway through it as I was now tired and... bored as hell..
Win

[sheeny]

...and...?

You get to tell us what the next photo will be.;)

Al.

[owl]

Lol! Oh yes of course. I think the next photo should have something "momentous" - capturing a freeze frame of action (verb) in happening to be precise :-)

[Dennis]

Okay – here is a momentous, freeze-frame, action shot of a Blue Banded Bee in flight!

The next photo will have something to do with “big aeroplanes”.

Cheers

Dennis

[leon]

Maybe this might meet capturing a freeze frame of action.

Leon.

How about we have the next photo with Rust in it

[leon]

Opps, sorry must have replied at the same time i will leave it there and think of the next one.

Leon

[leon]

Ok big planes, how about this one, then we could go to one with Rust in it.

Leon :thumbsup:

[owl]

oh the bee is a stunning capture!!
Win

Interesting building Win.

I was wondering what an Australian resident would find to represent Ancient since anything of European origin here as just passing Vintage status :lol:

Trev

[owl]

Yes very interesting- its a dwelling cave in Petra!

Just wanted to make sure it was ancient enough ;)

[Regulus]

A lovely piece of engineering that's outlived it's usefulness. It's only job now is to sit and Rust.
So I think the next photo should have something to do with Outdated Industry.

[pluto]

Here's one of the old machine shops on Cockatoo Island.

For some contrast the next photo should have something to do with Modern Industry.

[Regulus]

Really like that photo Hugh and the exposure is excellent.

[omegacrux]

This here is part of the heating system of a hot house.
It directs the hot water to different sections of the house
These are fed by a 100,000lt buffer tank (has weird acoustics when empty) and there's two boilers heating it a gas one and a sawdust fired one for Co2

The next new photo should have 'edge' in it don't matter what kind

Have fun

David

[leon]

Well i reckon this is a pretty nice looking edge, "The Edge of Australia".

Leon :thumbsup:

Maybe the next picture could have Dots in it.

[Regulus]

U were quick with that Leon. Definitely an Edge tho.

[Regulus]

If u have seen others of mine then u probably saw this coming :)
Amanita Muscaria, the Fly Agaric
The next photo should having something to do with..... Age

[leon]

Nice one Trevor.

Leon

[RB]

My eight kids, with thirteen years age difference between oldest and youngest.
They're a bit older now.

The next photo will have something to do with.... lines.

[Regulus]

This is an air-con fan at a local school, hidden behind a security cage. Between the two I think they provide sufficient lines to meet the criteria.

The next photograph should have something to do with... Geometric Streetscapes

[Regulus]

Is this too hard? I nominated it because I see streetscape geometry everywhere there is a roundabout, overpass, overhead shot etc.
I can change it to ....the next photo needing something to do with your Hobby, if you prefer.
Trev

[Screwdriverone]

Holy cow Andrew, 8 kids???????

Don't you have a TV???????

Marios, the topic from Trevor was "something to do with your Hobby".
Nice photo, I take it your hobby is photography?
Also you need to name a topic for the next person to post a photo.

:)

[Marios]

Sorry Gents.

The next photo should demonstrate Balance.

[Regulus]

Found this today at the Forth River Mouth.
It seems to fit the theme that Marios set: Balance

And to strike a Balance, the next photo should have something to do with Chaos

[sheeny]

Well, a mutual acquaintance of ours (not in the picture) managed to do this. The photo makes the hill look flat - it is really very steep! The driver was lucky to walk away. It took three 4WDs with winches plus a tirfor, a chain saw and an exhaust jack to recover from this mess.

This was the "pondering where to start" phase.

:lol:

The next photo will be a monochrome portrait.

Irma my 90 year old grandmother a month or so before her death. we gave her a framed shot of her and my grandfather for her birthday.That shot was taken the day before they married.they were in Martin place Sydney, it was in the early 1930,s before the war and was one of those 3 penny shots, the photographer snapped the shot and then gave you a receipt and you could collect the print four hours later in the arcade around the corner. As the original was only matchbox size she had not seen it with her poor eyesight for many many years, the digital enlargement helped with that. i have included that shot as well, just for interest...........next shot should contain a baby

[Regulus]

Great story Brad, and a beautiful pair of photographs.
Trev

[Regulus]

Had to jump in here with this theme.
This is Jake and his new born son Jai.
My Great Nephew Jake, and Great Great Nephew Jai Jake.
So that leaves me wondering whether I am a Great Uncle, a Great Grand Uncle, or just an Old Man with a new toy. :)

So I think the Next Photo should have something to do with Old Age

[gaa_ian]

OK, I have not got in on this one before, but with my renewed interest in Photography ....
Here is a Banded Ironstone Geode, It has to be MILLIONS of years old ;)
Unfortunatly a bulldozer ran over this before i could save it, but I have lots of pieces of it now :lol:
So the next image is ....Something with LOTS of Iron in it !

[Screwdriverone]

Loads of (rusty) iron :D in the remains of the SS Maheno, once an ocean liner belonging to the Union Company of New Zealand that operated in the Tasman Sea, crossing between New Zealand and Australia, from 1905 until 1935. She was also used as a hospital ship by the New Zealand Naval Forces during World War I.

On 3 July 1935 the Maheno left Sydney under tow by the 1,758 ton ship Oonah, a former Tasmanian Steamers Pty. Ltd. Bass Strait ferry, built in 1888, which along with the Maheno had been sold to an Osaka shipbreaker. The ships were linked by a 900-foot (270 m) 6.75-inch (17.1 cm) wire rope.

On the afternoon of 7 July, while about 50 miles from the coast, the towline parted during a severe cyclone. Attempts to reattach the towline failed in the heavy seas, and the Maheno, with eight men aboard, drifted off and disappeared. The Oonah, with her steering gear temporarily disabled, broadcast a radio message requesting assistance for the Maheno, whose propellers had been removed.

The ship was finally found on 10 July by an aircraft piloted by Keith Virtue, beached off the Coast of Fraser Island. The crew of the Maheno set up camp onshore, waiting for the Oonah to arrive, which it eventually did on 12 July. The ship was subsequently stripped of her fittings, but attempts to refloat her failed, and eventually the wreck was offered for sale, but found no buyers.

Photo taken in July, from a light aircraft (a beach flight) when exploring Fraser island with friends visiting from Europe.

The next photo should have something common, but as seen from an unusual view point….

Cheers

Dennis

[h0ughy]

:help: its been a while - a long while but here is my take on this. the common footprint, but immortalised in concrete for posterity. this was when i built the original doghouse, unfortunately this is all i have to remember the day with and the involvement of the kids. my daughters foot has changed a wee bit but my sons - OMG he is into size 11 and he is only 13. my how things change :question: as we no longer live there and they are growing up quickly

The next photo should have something grainy ….

[Dennis]

LOL – no Sasquatch foot print Dave?;)

Here we go …a sprinkling of grains of Himalayan Salt, making a “grainy” image – LOL!

The next photo will have something to do with “man-made structure” or perhaps that should be “person-made structure”.

Cheers

Dennis

[Regulus]

These are concrete storage silos on the Mersey River in Tassie, and about 7-8 storys high.

The next photo will have something to do with pets

[Ric]

Our lad being aloof as he does when the camera appears.

The next challenge will be Fire

Cheers :)

[Chard]

Here's a camp fire from a few months ago.

Next photo will be something about rain :)

[Dennis]

il pleut beaucoup...

Taken in the paddock outside our back garden on 19th Nov 2014, the storm was the one that cost Brisbane $1Billion in insurance claims. Luckily we escaped the fury of the super cell and were only lashed by the winds and torrential rain at the periphery.

The next photo will have something to do with a foreign country.

Cheers

Dennis

[pluto]

It's not just that this was a foreign country, Norway, it's that it felt foreign... we just don't get this kind of scene anywhere in Oz :)

The next image should be something really HOT

[Ric]

Here is a jar of pickled Chilli Olives with Garlic, Lemon and Peppercorns. After six months of pickling they were quite nice and bitey. :thumbsup:

With the exception of the peppercorns and the Olive oil everything else was straight out of the garden.

The next image should be about Pond Life

Cheers :)

[Dennis]

Here we go Ric, a few tortoises (or turtles?) from the pond (lake) at the University of Queensland.

The next photo should contain something “nostalgic”.

Cheers

Dennis

[pluto]

This pic makes me feel a bit nostalgic as it's of the lighthouse near where I grew up in Port Macquarie... Ah good times...

It also has a kind of old feel to it because it was a long exposure shot through an IR pass filter and, as I couldn't use AF or see anything through the lens, the focus is a bit soft adding to the effect.

The next photo should be something to do with a nice Sunny Day :D

[Regulus]

That's a beautiful old lighthouse Hugh. Art Deco, from back in the days when they cared how things looked.

[zenith]

A sunny day on the Great Ocean Road.
The next photo should contain something “fierce”.
Rgs Tim.

[pluto]

Taken at Taronga Zoo a couple of years ago.

The next photo should contain something "Calm"

[Regulus]

This seemed calm, although a look at the wiggley horizon and I'm not certain they are sailing into calm deep water.
The next photograph should be... fruity

[Photo Challenge]

Time to get this thread working again.
How about a "Wildcard" theme.
Post your "Wildcard" photo and name the next one.

:)

[Regulus]

Oddly i thought Fruit would be a wide open field.
Ah well.

Trev

[Dennis]

Okay Trev, here we go.

A Mistletoe bird chomping on a fruity berry at Oxley Creek Common, taken back in July this year.:)

The next new photo should have something to do with “gaudy colours”.

Cheers

Dennis

[astroboof]

I'll have a crack at this Dennis. Taken today while visiting a weavers and spinners fair, they even had their manual looms and spinning wheels in action, most interesting mechanically. Also some belly dancers.


Next wildcard picture would have to feature a lighthouse.

[Dennis]

That fits the bill quite nicely!:):thumbsup:

Cheers

Dennis

[zenith]

This is the Cape Schanck lighthouse earlier this year, a splendid day for a picnic and a tour inside it!

The next picture should be something "slow moving".

[gary]

Triboniophorus graeffei (family Athoracophoridae) - the red triangle slug - a species of native Australian slug.

In emails from Michael Shea, The Australian Museum, in 2007 -



The next photo should contain something very old.

Gary Kopff
Mt Kuring-Gai NSW

[sheeny]

A horse drawn wagon for hauling logs along log rails from the late 19th century / early 20th century. This example is from Powell River on the west coast of Canada.

The next photo will have clouds in it.

[ZeroID]

Ken Block in Rally Whangarei a few months ago.

The next photo should have rubber in it
(I've been wanting to get into this for ages !! )

[BilliGoatsGruff]

This is great fun :D

Here's a close up of a rubber (eraser) because studying blows!

The next photo should contain something big and small.

[Regulus]

At the risk of being booed, I'll fall back on my archive for this one.

The next photo should have something to do with entrances.

[astronobob]

Keool shot Trevor :thumbsup:

Built the new entrance to the chicken coup ?
May the next photo have a 'shadow' in it .

[ZeroID]

Walking the beach ....

The next photo will have 'time' in it ...

[zardos123]

My grandmother the day before she married and the day after her 90th birthday............the next should be "electric"

[Regulus]

Lovely photograph Brad.

[zardos123]

thanks trevor, She past away a month or so after i took this, so i am very pleased i have it. One of the few i have on the wall

[ZeroID]

Sorry to hear of your loss but that is an awesome portrait, captures so much detail and history in one pic.

[Regulus]

Let's kick this fun thread off again.
Birkland Currents racing down the magnetic lines of the South Pole.
The next photo should encapsulate Summer [since it's almost Autumn down here a small celebration of the summery sun is in order :lol: ]

[zenith]

Hi Trevor,
I took this on the first day of celebrating Christmas holidays last year at Rosebud beach.
The next photo should have something spooky in it.
Rgs.

[Nikolas]

Graveyard in Ross Tassie

Next pic should have a Tasmanian feel

[Regulus]

The subject matter is a bit specialised, but this should meet the criteria.
Would be nice if the next photo had some farm equipment in it.

[Luke.]

A farm utes final resting place in the paddock.

The next photo should have something Upside Down.

[Ric]

Here one of our upside down kitty enjoying the morning sun.

The next photo should have something with 2 Wheels.

Cheers

[omegacrux]

These both have two wheels , a Z1R and a GS1000S at a local bike show
The next new photo should have a watch in it

[RB]

This is a beautiful Reuge musical, animated gold pocket watch which I bought 23 years ago upon the birth of my first daughter for her to keep as an heirloom.

It features four types of Gold, is musical and is animated ie. the man's arm, woman's arm, the water pump, the water stream and the horse's head all move to the musical tune, which is created by a mechanical tune mechanism.
The actual key to wind it up is the Gold Harp on the left and it has an alarm feature that can be set to play the tune and animation.
Presented in a beautiful velvet case.

The next photo should have an unusual animal in it.

[astronobob]

Noice Watch Andrew, how behind times am I , heirloom's still around :thumbsup:

Here's a very unusual animal I captured at Steve Irwins AUS ZOO
It Apparently called a Zebraffe ;) I think mum has been naughty :D

Could the next photo relate to Paper.

[BilliGoatsGruff]

The word "wallpaper" on some paper :)

Given the cooler weather, may the next photo contain ice.

[RB]

Great photos Bob and Billi.

RB

:thumbsup:

[pluto]

From Iceland last year, now that was cold!

Perhaps the next photo should try and warm us up :)

[Ric]

One of me taken at a hazard reduction last season.

Certainly was a warm event, hope it makes everyone feel warmer.

Photo courtesy of our crew leader Ian C. :thanx:

The next photo should be "Full of cuteness" :D

Cheers

[astronobob]

Good stuff Ric, giving up your time for a good cause :thumbsup:

Had a family get-to-gether !
Including this little man - our 3 1/2 month grandchild 'Jake'


The next photo should have an 'Alcoholic Beverage' in it :drink: :cheers:

[Allan_L]

Your photo sure is full of cuteness Bob. :thumbsup:

Now, seems this parade has been stalled for a while, ...So ...
OK, it is simple, but just to kick start the momentum again, I submit:
My Favourite drop...

Could the next photo be something Orange

[Regulus]

Taken on my morning walk today along the rocks at The Bluff, Devonport.
The orange lichen is a year round feature, but loves the damp weather, and thrives in it.
The next photo should be made of Old Wood

[ZeroID]

Old Wood, new buds ...
My grapevine at budburst ...

The next photo should evoke vintage ..

[speach]

The underground bakery Farina S.A.

Next pic showing Heat

[pluto]

This is from bush fires in Tassie a few years ago. It was hot!

The next photo should show a great expanse

[ZeroID]

From 'The Chateau' on Mt Ruapehu.

The next photo will show some perspective ..

[Regulus]

The old water tower at the Coates Patten plant in Launceston, Tasmania.

The next photograph will show a dramatic cloud-scape

[astronobob]

An Off-Shore Storm Pano at Danger Point, qld/nsw border 2012 .

The next photograph should show something STRONG or STRENGTH

[astronobob]

What about something Burnt & Black ?

[speach]

the next picture should be of something Soft

[h0ughy]

the dog in a soft moment

the next picture should be of something foggy

[pluto]

Here's a foggy morning somewhere in NZ.
The theme for the next image is High and Mighty.

[Regulus]

It's pretty high, and associated with the Almighty, so that about covers it :-)
St Mary's Anglican Kirk in Hadspen, Tasmania.

The next photo should have Rain in it.

[ZeroID]

The next photo should show something from underneath. ...

[Regulus]

Underneath the awning.

The next picture should have something seasonal, like Autumn

[Nebulous]

I hope that I'm not jumping in out of sequence here... Something seasonal, like Autumn...

After the rain.

The next photo should have something to drink in it (not necessarily alcoholic!)

[Regulus]

Lime and water, delicious.

The next photo should have something to do with mystery

[Nebulous]

Lovely picture of the lime and water. It looks very appealing indeed. :)

I hope this looks sufficiently mysterious. It was the view down the valley from our veranda this evening. Smokey haze from local hazard reduction burns added to the feel of twilight. I was hoping to catch a hint of the far horizon behind the grey, but I was a tad too late...


A nice easy one next to try and lure some more posters in - Young.

Come on - kids, pets, plants... whatever... :)

[Suzy]

Hi Chris, that is an absolutely stunning picture!
I have an idea for the next one.... SPOOKY !

[Photo Challenge]

Hey Suzy, welcome to the forum.
Just a small point on thread rules:
You have to post a picture to nominate the next Topic. :D
The current topic is "Young"
Just post a pic of yourself!
Then you can nominate "Spooky" :thumbsup:

But I agree, Chris' picture is absolutely stunning. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Suzy]

Ah, I get it now! :thanx:
I was quite confused on how this thread worked with the monthly challenge. I thought you guys put out suggestions here for the monthly challenge titles. I have a few questions about the monthly photo challenge but I'll finish up here first (see if I can find a "young" pic I've taken of something!) and then go there. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated :).

[Suzy]

The Boeing 787-9 is a young aircraft with Etihad Airways taking delivery of Reg# A6-BLA (pictured here) on December 2014.
This is flight EYG484 from Abu Dhabi to Brisbane captured from my home on November 2016.
I'm laughing that I managed to find a way to incorporate aviation into the "young" category :rofl:

Okay, so there's my pic. I now get to choose the next title, yes?
The next photo will have - "spooky".

Does this mean that I can't post in "spooky" because I came up with title. I'm guessing so, yes?
Let's see if I have this right... when the first person that posts a pic automatically gets to choose the next title?
EDIT: I have found the rules in the first post so I'm much clearer now.

[Nebulous]

Spooky...

Well, a bit spooky! :) I tried a variety of ideas but this was judged by my wife to be the nearest to the title. It's inside my shed a couple of nights ago. Handheld and looking towards the door. The red light is used to help preserve my night vision when I go in and out to get different telescope eyepieces, etc. The sheets cover a motorbike and a couple of telescopes. But what's lurking in the blackness beyond that door?.... the creatures of the night ..... (OK mostly bandicoots and kangaroos... ;) )

Next photo of Tail or Tails please.

[Suzy]

Hehe, good one Chris, I'm looking for Roxanne somewhere in there :lol:.

Tails

Oooh that's a nice easy one! :clap:
This is one of my favourite shots I took at Brisbane Airport, I call it Red Tails in the Sunset :).

The next photo should have something with to do with water droplets.

214557

[Nebulous]

"Red Tails in the Sunset" . Great title. :) Nice one Suzy.

Bonus points for having kangaroo tails on the red tails too...


This is a daisy flower in our garden. It was about the size of the end of my thumb and the little spider was so small (about the size of a grain of rice) that I didn't actually see it until I downloaded the pictures onto my computer. And then I whipped back and took a couple more. It looked nice and dry under there too!

Next picture should feature a musical instrument please.
