    The impact of poles, masts, pipelines or other public utilities on your farm.

    Congrats to everyone who entered last month, everyone's a winner winner chicken dinner. At the end of the month we had a 3 way tie between Lady Haywire, Kollegeknight and Patsy. But I see KK has an extra vote since!! This month for our competition we want to see minor or major inconveniences on the farm, the impact of poles, masts, pipelines or other public utilities on your farm.
    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!

    January winner(s) Lady Haywire, Kollegeknight and Patsy. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058043916

    Here's one of those minor inconveniences;502040.jpg

    As if the 110kV poles weren't bad enough, ESB contractors entered my wettest field on the wettest day of the year without asking and left again leaving it like this !!!!
