Time to vote for the May challenge

[Sprocket]

Many thanks to everyone who entered the May challenge. It has been quite a struggle to choose from the many fine entries so I hope those who haven't made the final selection won't feel too downhearted. The final eight images are below and in this lightbox https://www.alamy.com/search/lightbox/5680308.html
Voting will close at midnight on 7th June and, as usual, the winner will be invited to set the June challenge.
