    Ok, the theme for this Challenge is ‘This Festive Season’ – looking for photos that capture spirit of this time of year with its Festive lights, Winter Solstice, Christmas trees, wrapped presents and smiling faces( we hope) etc.


    Here is a photo of Grafton St as an example

    Rules:
    -The Closing Date is 2 weeks from now - that is Sunday 27th of December at 8pm.
    -Only photos taken with this challenge in mind qualify. Therefore, the photo must be taken between 2pm on 13/12/2015 and 8pm on 27/12/2015 and so no 'old ' photos are to be used.
    -The photo must be taken by the person submitting it.
    -Only one photo per post, but submit as many posts as you like.
    -The next task/subject is to be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after their post at the closing date/time.

    Best of luck!!

    As this challenge is rather quiet, please forgive a bit of poetic licence from a newcomer, arguing that without the solstice, there'd be no festivities! :cool:

    No poetic license needed- the challenge theme specifically mentions ' the winter solstice'. :)

    I love walking in the woods early on a winter's day when the sun is out and the air is crisp and clear.

    And so, the last of the 26 Challenges of 2015 has concluded.

    It is a hectic time of the year for all and therefore really special thanks are due to those who entered and voted.

    There was a tie between Jaansu and Damokc- both entering really top class concept ‘seasonal’ photos.

    Jaansu has been in touch to say that as he won a recent Challenge that Damokc should be declared ‘ winner’ and asked to set the next Challenge.


    And so it’s over to you Damokc!


    Here is Damokc’s great pic.

    As mentioned earlier – it’s a real busy/holiday period of the year – so I guess it may take a short time to get the next Challenge up and running.

    Get your cameras at the ready.


    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL:)
