August 19 Photo Comp- Dark & Stormy

This months topic was chosen by the July winner Rosco

Dark & Stormy

I think the title is self explanatory for this one, we should get some spectacular photos this month.

Remember to follow the rules shown in pink below.


Regards
TPC

At our favourite free camp (5 nights) on the Gibb River Road. We sat & watched the storm brew in the distance in the early morning light. Just us & the wildlife.

Congrats to the winners.
@Cuppa can you please PM me with the topic for September asap. (hopefully you are currently in range)

Previous topics and winners can be seen here

Cuppa appears to be out of range at this stage.
@Avo as you came second could you please chose a topic for this months comp in Cuppa's absence.

......and it cannot be ‘cured meats’ or you’ll win properly this time :-)

Not hearing from Avo now.
If either @Avo or @Cuppa see this can one of you please choose a topic, I will take the first one that replies.
Or maybe third place @mudski can choose.

Ok, I reckon this could be difficult as things never look as steep as they are on photos compared to real life, or are they? Show us the STEEP places you have taken your Patrol..... unless of course another topic has beat me to it. Cuppa @TPC
