I must say, I'm enjoying Rickards White lately, luckily managed 2 Pints of that for free since they just got it in but not on tap to sell it But, I don't think it will take the place of Guinness.

Since no shots of Guinness, I'll add my own. It's the most beautiful drink when poured, the separation in the glass is so cool to watch.



What to choose now... Umm, a rusted car, something creative or scenic if possible. Trying to see what creativity everyone has.

I have two rusty cars...
I hope this helps....

If i am the winner and get to choose the next category I would very much like to choose the subject matter of 'a native animal' - so australians could do emus or koalas while americans might do that big bird they have... does canada have someting native ? i guess england has foxes... are they native? i know they brought plenty of foxes to australia...

Great shot JrPentax! Exactly the look I was going for, interesting how they ended up the middle of no where stacked like that unless of course that's your backyard.

?? You are confusing me Bud ... to make a request you need to post the previous requested item. On board now is a dock or a pier - do you have one of those is os post it , then you can request a bird in a nest or whatever else suits your fancy ( I think the stangest request we had in version 1 of this challenge was nose hair)

Edit: My Bad Bud when I looked I did not see your picture - I have disciplined my accordingly

Hey Dave, great shot, old as it may be. Exactly what I pictured when I thought of that one.
An oldie but a goodie!

(I notice youve changed your photo. Did you want to go incognito or something?!! )

This 'game' can be very challenging. First you 'check in' , see the challenge and think....hang on, I've got that shot...somewhere..?!

Then one scrambles to find 'somewhere'.....refresh...bugger, someone's beaten me to it!
So go away and sulk for a bit.

But I got a bird in a nest.
But can you show me....


and this IS a challenge...no more pussy footing around...



an OLYMPIC STADIUM.

Here is the Montreal Olympic Stadium



It's an old shot, but I'd have to drive 1 hour across town to take a pic of that death trap so it'll have to do!

Next photo... I'd like to see a tricycle
