October 2023 Photo Challenge - Please Post Your Entry HERE

[RB]

Each month we run the Photo Challenge.
The challenge is set by the previous month's winner.

The topic this month is "Still Life."


Haven't played before? No worries.
We are always on the lookout for new contestants.
So grab a camera, go exploring, and have a go.

The Fine Print:

* This is the Entries thread. Only for posting your entry, and its back story.
* We prefer the entry to have been taken this month but images taken in the past are also allowed if you haven't had the opportunity to take it this month.
* Comments on other entries are not allowed here, but can be posted in the "Comments and Other Images Thread". (https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=207465)
* Additional images may be posted to the "Comments and Other Images Thread". (https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=207465)
* Entries are limited to one image per person.
* Of course, the image must be your "own work".
* All other forum rules, and image size limits, apply.

The "winner" will be determined in the voting thread, run at the end of the month
and will get to choose next month's topic and have their photo immortalised in our "Photo Challenge Hall of Fame". (https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=3355)

Good Luck! and thanks for playing!

Not so much the photo but the story.
As a teenager delivering tiles while crossing the harbour bridge I would often look down at the Park Hyatt and wonder what it would be like to stay there.
Years later a dream became fruition and the photos of the Opera house during Vivid were as good as the meal.

Thought I'd try a pic of a peaceful flower arrangement at home.
