December/January 2016/17 Photo Comp

[Cuppa]

As in previous years our competition will run for two months over the festive season, wrapping up in late January.
Instead of the usual limit of three entries, you may post 6 entries (but please ensure just one entry per post).

Our Dec/Jan topic, has been chosen by our last month’s winner VK2FMIA for a second month running. He’s on a roll, I wonder if anyone will knock him off his perch this time around!

The topic is one which I expect to be popular - you probably already have some good entries in your collection, but if not how about taking your camera/phone out & about with you over the festive season & new year.

"Rural Decay" - Photos of old farm machinery, cars, buildings, tractors, trucks etc. that are slowly becoming part of the landscape.

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