Sprocket Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thank you again to Graham for running the November challenge and to everyone who took part. As the festive season approaches, my suggested subject for the December challenge is Festivities -– not only Christmas but any other festive occasion. The usual rules apply, up to three images submitted per person with eight being selected for a vote at the end of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Woods Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Three from me A girl looking at an illuminated father christmas figure My boy, dressed as a panda for Hallowe'en. The outlandishly dangerous Chariot Race in Bakhtapur Nepal for their New Year's Day bash. The chariot is massive solid wood with about 50 people on it and it rolls, unstoppable, down this narrow crowded street. Lets hope they have their Health and Safety SOP up to date and signed by a senior manager. Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
