July ’15 Photo Comp - Water Transport

This month’s competition topic has been chosen by our September winner FNQGU

His choice is for this month’s topic is ‘REMOTE’. The intent is for entries to explore ‘being out there alone’, circumstances as well as location can contribute to a sense of remoteness. If you feel the need to post a pic of your tv remote control ....... you need to get out there more!

Back to the monthly prize being the ‘kudos’ of being voted winner by your peers & the opportunity to choose the following month’s topic.

However if any individual member (or vendor member) has anything you wish to donate as a prize - either as a one off, or regularly, please contact me via PM. For those of you who are vendors exposure & good will in a thread regularly read by far more than those who participate can only help your business. PM me if you can assist.

Good luck all, & thanks FNQGU

Ps. Please read though the pink bit below if you haven’t done so yet. Ta.

Pps. It always helps to post a brief explanatory caption with your entry. :wink:

Regards
Cuppa

Thanks to all for your partcipation, voting is now closed & we have a winner.

In first place with 18 votes is TPC with his photo of the vehicles out in the Northern Simpson Desert. I thought as soon as he posted it that it would be the winner as it encapsulates a concept difficult to catch with a camera - ‘Remote’.

In second place with 15 votes is Megatexture’s photo of a remote village he cycled past in Madagascar. I don’t know about others but I’d be most interested to hear the story about how he came to be cycling in that part of the world.

In third place with 14 votes is FNQGU with his shot of termite mounds at sunset, on the road to Lakefield NP (Rinyirru) north west of Cairns.
