📸📸📸 October Photography Contest Comment Thread 📸📸📸

Whoot whoot. This thread is for questions, comments and idle picci chatter about the October Photography Contest.

It is that time of the month again. The submission thread for the competition is here:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/103692597

Please pop along and make sure you submit a picci. HAB's theme is "Roadscapes, rural or urban, old or new". which is great! Also please cast the DU net far and wide and prompt others who you know would be interested in getting involved but who may for whatever reason missed the launch, or are hesitant to get involved.

It's an old film photo that I scanned. We were traveling in Germany, and I think this was Freiburg.

heartstrings had not posted their picture when I started the process but by the time I hit post theirs was already up.

So we have the Road less travelled immediately followed by the Road well travelled. A marvellous juxtaposition for this contest!

It's so hard to pick just one. I'm ready if we get a second entry.

This is already stacking up to be a tough competition. Good luck everyone.

Thanks to dear Sophie for running the contest this month.

Grumpy.

Thank you!

I wasn't even sure I should enter this one. I have five more I was thinking about.

I needed a good smile today. Thanks, as always!

St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, England. Taken from the Mount.

As the title of my photo says, it's only passable at low tide.

So here is my photo of the road to St. Michael's Mount at low tide, this time looking at the castle.

Both of my entries are from Europe. I know I have road photos from the States, but I couldn't find them!

And I am super impressed with all the entries to date.

It will be interesting to see what comments we get.
