Must be early evening, the Germans haven't put towels out to save seats yet!Well that was the best I could do. It is a beautiful photo Martin, as always.Thankyou.

Flopsy Mopsy is a great supporter of our group and I thank her for her lovely, funny, interesting photos and comments. Flopsy please post a favourite photo here.

Oh, thank you very much! It's a pleasure to post on this part of the forum, there's always a lot to see, and I love other people's view of their lives, surroundings, and animals.

This is one of the first photos I took with my Nikon and I still love the stillness of it. We were in France, very early in the morning, having just watched the duck hunters row out for their morning sport - or more accurately their morning harvest as the ducks on that lake were bred for the pot. And as the sun started to shine more brightly, I managed to get this shot. You have to look very carefully for the line between water and air but it is there.

Prego, glad you liked it. I didn't realise until later that those weren't deckchairs but boats - pedaloes I think. (Sounds Italian enough.) As it was the end of the season when I was there, they were all tied up for the winter. A shame really, it would have been fun to go messing about on one of those.

(Edited for typo, if you couldn't guess.)

Oh Martin, that makes a messup of my comment then I really thought they were deckchairs.!
Oh Wow! Flopsy that photo is just gorgeous. Well done!

Ertrum (Ed) Congratulations of being the next Roll of Honour recipient! Please post a favourite picture here. Well done!

I'm honored.
This is the aqueduct, "Les Arceaux", which leads into the city of Montpellier, France. I spent a year in Montpellier while I was in college, 30 or so years ago.

It's a lovely one Thanks!

Chavs, without doubt you are awarded a place in the Roll of Honour. I continue to be amazed at the quality and variety of your pictures. Please give us you favourite here. Congratulations!

Thank so much Ren, thats a very kind thing to say. I love this photography board, such a friendly place. In the monthly threads anything can happen and I've really enjoyed travelling around the world via everyone's photos. And the 2-week themes give a great challenge, fun to join in and fun to watch. Thank you to everyone who shares their interesting photos, and to you for creating the perfect place and atmosphere for that to happen.

Speech over.



I snapped this "large daisy" at a garden centre, full diameter is only about the palm of your hand. I couldn't believe the contrast of colour (plays tricks on my eyes) and intricate centre (golden ratio).


I chose this photo for its subject rather than anything else. Cameras catch nature so you can keep a pretty thing forever & I often look at it and it always makes me smile. And that's why it's my favourite photo. Thanks for giving me the excuse to put it up.

Gosh Chavs that excels even your photos . so breathtaking!
Thanks for your nice speech
I feel the same It is known in the trade as the friendlyforumforfotos.

Once again I unlock the Roll of Honour for a well deserved entry. The latest of our Heroes is ....(drumroll)
Howie72!!
We are all very impressed with your Nature Photos, especially the birds.
Please choose a favourite picture of yours and put it in here. Congratulations!

Chavs, that is simply brilliant!

Thank you though I am not sure if I deserve to be here as I have not posted many photos. Having said that, it is still an honour to have people enjoying the photos that I do take. I do not have a favourite photo as they are all special in different ways, either by capturing the beauty of nature or as memories of places I have been, sights I have seen and people I have met. However, I shall head out into the garden to show a lily that seems to appear each year despite my lack of gardening skills...

Gorgeous! I have the same one, but I am sure could never make it look as good as that in a photo!
Thanks Howie and again congrats and thanks for your support.

Ages ago at the beginning of Sept, there was a nomination for this Photography Champion who should have been on the Roll of Honour long before now. So I will make amends by awarding it now to....
Christinap!!
Lovely, lovely pictures of all sorts of stuff, but the garden pics stand out as so special. Well done and thanks so much for your super input.

Thank you Ren, I am truly honoured to join this illustrious group. I may have posted this before, but it remains just about my all time favourite photo. It really speaks for itself.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! That is so so gorgeous! Wow! Yes.

Thank you for the nomination! I think I started posting photos here when we first started this thread years ago and I tried to be regular, however, a couple of years ago I got fed up with my slow internet signal and just gave up because it would take so long to download a photo. A couple of months ago, I came back and I'm so glad I did (I have better service now) because I am enjoying looking at all the photos once again. It surprised me to go back through Photobucket to select a photo and how many I had there. It was hard choosing just one favorite.

This was taken in Westcliffe, Colorado and I liked it so well that I had it blown up and now it hangs in my house with a few other of my black and white photos.

I just love that one,ClaraSue and thanks!
Our next, long overdue again and sorry for my continuing senility, is DotB.
Thanks, Dot for your lovely pictures and your continuing support. Please post one of your favourites here. Thanks. Welcome to the Roll of Honour~!

Thank you for putting me on the roll of honour! I'm really honoured! I'll have to look through my photos to find a favourite.
