    Hi everyone,

    Whammy has asked me to post up and look after the next challenge so here it is. The theme is wilderness. Nothing specific, just something that has the property of being wild, or something that could be interpreted as having a wild aspect. Capture that aspect.


    The rules:
    Only photos taken with this task in mind qualify, therefore, photos must be taken after 9:00pm on February the 24th. No old photos to be submitted.
    Photos must be posted within 2 weeks of the day the task was set. The closing time/date for this challenge is 9:00pm on March the 10th.
    One photo per post, but submit as many posts as you like.
    The next task/subject will be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after their post at the closing date.

    Happy photographing!

    In the vast wilderness, even a wild animal is insignificant.

    If you look closely you can see a deer in the bottom left. Rather than get close up shots of wild animals I thought it would be nice to see them from a different perspective.

    One of the ship wrecks uncovered by the recent storms on Tramore Beach. Probably a schooner from the 1800's wrecked by wild seas back then

    Hello, I haven't entered one of these challenges yet but plan on doing so. They look like fun :) I have some photos but I'm not sure if I can use them. I'm a little confused with the rules and posts and just want to double check.

    Does my photo have to be taken strictly after 21:00 on Feb the 24th?

    I need to go and double check the dates of photo I took over the last week.

    Thank you :)

    Hi Jane

    Yes the photo needs to be taken with the challenge in mind so any photos before that time would be out. But is all just a bit of fun anyway and gets you taking photos of a certain subject / theme

    Couple of shots from last weekend's ride in the woods.

    Hope the title doesn't offend


    but this has been going on out my back garden for the past three nights... and days!!!






    I have counted as many as 15 participants at one time





    the noise is constant







    They all have such happy smiles







    I dont know where they get the energy





    look away now if you don't want to be offended

    I'm going to close this challenge off this evening. It's currently a tie between two excellent photos. Will see if a winner has been determined by 7.

    Congratulations to Spookwoman and Formosa - they are 2 cracking photos:)
