Thanks again, charliezap, for a wonderful contest last week. My theme for the next challenge is "Lost" - as in Lost Places, to get lost, "lost" trash, lost in thoughts - feel free to interpret the word as you like!

The challenge will run to April 5th midnight CET. Have fun!

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax/Ricoh (DSLR) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Had to reach way back into the archives for this one.

Deep in thought, pondering the puzzle he is putting together.

Been there. That is a really good one.

Good one... While I was admiring the view from one of the Adirondack High Peaks, a couple hobbled up to the summit in agony. They'd seen a trail sign (6 miles back down a rugged trail) and decided to go for a stroll -- in business attire, complete with high heels on the woman. That they made it at all is a sign of perseverance, if not intelligence.

Thanks. I know the type. When I worked IT for a ski area we would get sales people coming up totally unprepared for the conditions like that. Some were lucky to just make it a few hundred yards across the base area!

Here's a shot of a bas relief of Shiva slaying Andhaka in the caverns of Elephanta Island. By boat, it's 10km northeast from Mumbai. Needless to say, in the process of getting there, I was pretty lost too.

I was 'media' for Run As One, which honors Marine veteran Clay Hunt, an original member of Team Rubicon, Mission Continues Fellow, and avid sportsman, who took his own life after battling PTSD and depression. Run as One is held worldwide and helps to bring awareness to depression, suicide, PTSD and mental health. The Veterans Crisis Line is a helpline to connect someone who is Lost and in need of help to someone that can help.
