December challenge: Festivities


Sprocket

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
