I'll try two, perhaps conflicting versions, of "Joy!"

Agree! we are off and running!

That is a creative interpretation of the theme, Christo!
And good entries.

Anton Magus · 07-08-2012, 03:09 AM

I really wish you lived closer, Christo. I would definitely "kuier" and help you get that "evil spirit" out of your house.
Maybe it was a present from Julius Malema?

altopiet · 07-08-2012, 08:30 AM

Thanks Michael, todd, Bart.
Anton, how dare you question any presents my friend Juju might send me, watch out, your house might just be next in line for nationalisation, after the mines and farms!

My father in law, who recently moved from the farm to live with us, turned 80 today, so I decided to start with a very slow destruction process of that "evil spirit" you talk about. It is so bloody expensive, I'm going to torture it to death slowly, and take a year or two doing it. When I have it begging for mercy, I'll call you to come and take what's left over, but only if you take my father and mother-in-law as well, it's a package deal!

Anton Magus · 07-08-2012, 10:42 AM

I think a photo of your face as your mother-in-law climbs in the car and waves goodbye would win this contest for sure, but I am sure she is a very nice lady, so I just could not take her away from you.
Sorry Christo. Not even for a case of that magic muti... But enjoy every dop from that bottle.

Hello everybody!

I think I have something. OK, I must be writing this on every single contest.

Considering the weather on northern Europe these last weeks, it was a kind of joy today. CAVOK!

As usual, Pentax Optio P80.

The picture says it all GT!

ivoire · 07-20-2012, 06:28 AM

G.T.------- Nice interpretation

altopiet · 07-20-2012, 06:38 AM

G.T, Looking at that image, I realize how many joyous days I have in a year, which I actually take for granted!

Bart · 07-20-2012, 12:00 PM

G.T, a great joy to see a blue sky in this part of the world

Bart · 07-22-2012, 07:55 AM

As close as I can get to the theme. I even refrained from converting to b&w

Joy is an evening stroll in the Swiss Alps

Panasonic FX500.

By the way, it really is a joy, even if it wasn't for this months theme.
