The Photo Challenge for March is ...

Thank you Photo Challenge Moderator and to everyone who participated, voted in
or who took time to look at the images in the February challenge.

Thank you Warren and Rowland for your kind remarks.

What a great set of images there were and I was delighted to see some "Australiana
themes" with Al's shot of the barn door in Sofala (for those who live outside of
NSW, Sofala is only a few km down the road from where the South Pacific Star
Party is held and was the location for Peter Weir's first feature film in 1974, "The
Cars That Ate Paris") and Ken's wonderful silo/wood shed. Rowland's treacherous
looking aircraft door was in technological juxtaposition to those and represented
the type of diversity in subjects I hoped the topic would bring. (Mind you,
if I was about to board that aircraft, I would be more alarmed by the wing icing than
the snow on the steps. ). Keith continued with the snow theme and I bet rarely
does a door look so welcoming than when one has been out in a blizzard.
Tony went above and beyond in the assignment and his "John West" shots alone
were fabulous compositions that are testimony to the effort he put into
it and his final entry was absolutely beautiful. Well done Tony! And well done to
everyone else.

I guess that many who propose a Photo Challenge topic have in the back of their
mind some entries that they would love to see and hope someone might capture.
I was hoping one of our macro imagers might capture a trapdoor spider.
What might be hard to trump would be the "big door" featured in the Tron
films. "Now that is a big door!" See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehRJcFYJ0Bk


Which brings us to the Photo Challenge for March.

They are found in virtually every town in the world, from Tibooburra to Timbuktu.
Some serve meals and coffee, others serve nothing but Internet.
The theme for March's Photo Challenge is "cafe".

So get thinking, get clicking and good luck!
