Colin Woods Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Greetings all After the tie-break finish from the last subject, its me to set the new challenge. With people starting to think beyond the virus, with shops, restaurants starting to open, we look to be having a green light to live again. So, the subject for this month is about as broad as you can get. Green. Anything green, either all green, or green in contrast with the rest of the image. It can even be green for envy, environmentally friendly or green for an untrained beginner. Its up to you to scratch your collective head and interpret green. As ever, the images should come from you Alamy collection. You can post a maximum of three. On the last day of the month I will choose my favourite 8, and the winner has to set the next challenge. If you are new to this, don't be intimidated by setting the challenge - its easy and there are plenty of helpful people here to ask. Looking forward to seeing what turns up. Here are three from me to get the greenness going Young indian boy wearing a green headscarf A lone tree on Exmoor in south west England Don't drink the water - lurid coloured water in the Tongariro volcanic area in New Zealand.
