#587 - “Cool”
Posted By: Vaskebjorn, 08-12-2022, 12:15 PM

Welcome to Weekly Challenge #587. Thanks to jheu02/John for the last challenge. As Hattifnatt was not able to host this weeks challenge, the honors fell upon me being the runner up, which means I needed to come up with a topic! This weeks challenge is “Cool”. As we are living in a heatwave at the moment my idea was that “cool” vibes were more then necessary. Anything goes with one exception being it can’t be a winter photo. So everything cool in the summer/sun is “cool”. A water feature, a cool early mornings or anything else you can think off. I am counting on your creativity here. I am not really into super technical but more into the feeling of a photo. I hope this challenges you enough and I am curious what you guys/girls come up with. I Included a couple examples.

The fine print:

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

The Challenge will run until midnight Friday 19 August 2022 EDST. Judging will happen (hopefully) on Saturday. Good luck!

Rules
1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread.
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.

Examples:

No reason to doubt, your brain apparently got so efficient you forgot it was there. That’s the ultimate state. Only way to slow it down a bit is with a glass of Islay and then preferably 18+ years old.

Ps. I would consider a photo of a glass of whiskey with ice as not cool. You know, just a drop of water from the same source or nothing.

That's assuming the brain is still in use... I doubt my abilities on that front at times.

No matter how warm the land is, the water off Nova Scotia is always cool (or downright cold....).

Actually it’s not an age thing IMHO. It has more to do with the brain. You read the first few letters and your brain fills in the rest before you can read it because you think to fast. At least that is what I keep telling myself
Bit unfair on us Down Under if we are expected to get out a picture from 6 months ago.

Depending on where you live in Australia, I do not think you guys down under have anything that would qualify as a winter “Up Over” or up north.). But I doubt you do not have “cool” summer photo’s, there is no age limit on the photos. The oldest so far is a 2012 one i think.
