January photo competition 'My best photo from last year'

blue5000

Congrats to MickeyShtyles our December winner. Thanks to everyone who entered and voted.

This month we simply want to see your best photo from 2018. Any subject, but usual rules apply.

There's been a few people complaining about big photos, if you are on a laptop perhaps you have the zoom setting bigger than 100%. Try and re-size them to a medium format on a photo site like flickr etc.

There is a star shape on the top right of the screen where you type a web address, if you have the magnifying glass icon with a + sign in it, left click on it and select 'reset to default'. This should reduce the photos so that they can be seen on the screen. To increase the font size again hold the CTRL key down and press the '+' key. It's a useful feature to zoom in on photos/DD ads etc.

Usual Terms and Conditions apply.

Guidelines-
Photo must be your own image i.e. taken by you or a family member.
Photo should conform to this month's theme.
You may enter more than once (within reason though, not 100 photos please!)
No chat/banter on this thread please, it will be removed. If you want to discuss what's in the photo take it to chit chat or send a PM to the person who posted it.
Even if the theme isn't strictly farming related, we would like to see the photos to have some tie to farming.
No naughty pictures please.
Final winners will be the photo with the most 'thanks' from a single photo which can be entered any month.
So there are lots of chances guys!

A nice bullet point pictorial summary of 2018 there with some telling pictures but an absolute smasher of a picture courtesy of Base price which takes this months laurels. So congratulations on that BP. Next months competition will be up after some knocking of heads together.

I'm a bit late to the party having procrastinated for too long but these were some of my favourites from the year gone out.
