Thanks to all contestants who also share my interest in things old and decrepit.

atupdate. Great composition containing all the elements of decay
jacamar. Another rarely seen item. Interesting to see this abandoned one in the middle of new growth.
PintofDog. Ouch! That right hand pan is way beyond functional
gump. Certainly fits my definition of machinery A mobile kitchen perhaps?
aaacb Been there for some time. B/W treatment works well.
EssJay Definitely not functional. I like the lighting effects
Vaskebjorn Very good, not much left of this one.
MarkJerling New replacement next to the old
charliezap Not many boats will be loading here in future
Merv-O Not the usual golf course hazard. With my golfing skills I would have no trouble finding it.
rod_grant Not sure what it is, my guess would be for picking up hay bales.
RGlasel Good to see the old clunker doing service in a new role.
veato This one is not going anywhere in a hurry.
SpecialK Once someone's pride and joy
goodmonkey I bet you had some fun on that one.
Flanoman Not too sure what this is
noelcmn Someone has his thumb on the scales
DeKay So far but no further

Difficult one to judge but for me the least functional of them all is from PintofDog. This is so "wrong" on so many levels.
Runners Up [B]goodmonkey [/B and noelcmn

So it over to PintofDog for the next challenge. - Good luck


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

Rules
1. Post ONE photo.
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 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.
