Seems I will get a lot of work at the end of April. Thanks for all the entries. At May 1 I have an online meeting which will take most of the day I fear. So I hope to let you know who the winner is the next day. Very busy at the moment with the planning of this year's sheep inspections. Like what I see sofar.

Whiltshireborn, nice entries but I asked for monochrome photos. Maybe you can make them monochrome?
Bart, yes I know your area, both cities are about 40 minutes drive from where I live, but due to driving old diesel vans, it's been about 20 years since I entered either city. Old cities always keep their beauty.

OMG I wasn't expecting that answer when I asked if anybody was home. LOL Thank you bogwalker for the honour. I've been breeding sheep for 40 years and stopped last year, because I couldn't handle the rams anymore at my age. So WOW, now it's up to me again to find a subject. I really loved yours though.
It's late now, I will cook something up tomorrow.

Jacamar: I just love your photo. Clutter indeed.
Bart: I love your entries too. I almost entered a cluttered fence corner myself, sitting at my own property, but yours is way better.

Sheep shearing clutter and clutter from a scrap collecter. Well, the latter himself thought it was no clutter at all. :D

Ok, a bit late, but here I am. First of all: I had hoped for more sunsets, but I love all entries, beautiful sunsets. The ones that stood out for me were the entry of John5100, Bart's third entry and the entry of Kiwizinho. Scrolling up and down many times I finally choose Kiwizinho's entry to be the Winner. Congrats and thanks to all for participating.

Love the entries. KWB I don't mind oldies at all. My entries in the contests are always oldies. Coming week I'm not around so much, have to travel up North for sheep business at the end of the week for three days.

Welcome to the P&S Competition #182! This month's theme is Sunset, but the catch is that I don't want to see the sun.
First I thought something about Spring but then it isn't Spring all over the world, but sunset is. Have fun, make some new, dig up some oldies. I just love sunsets. The painter of skies can be very creative at some times.

No large format or camera typically requiring a tripod to use.
No interchangeable lens cameras (some exceptions below).

New York, United States
Sun, May 31, 11:59pm (EDT)

Oh WOW UncleVanya, that's a big surprise. Thanks for the honour. Now I have to think up a theme this evening because tomorrow we have an all out electric in my area. They have to work on the electric network so we have to plug out all that have to be plugged in to work all day. So no Freezers, no fridges, no tv, no pc, no cable telephones, no lights, no machines, nothing. Just like the very old days LOL. So in stead of sitting here doing nothing, I decided to give myself a present and drive over to my regular fishing pond tonight and see if I can catch some trout. We don't have wild trout overhere.
So I have to do some thinking and let you know as soon as possible.
Bart, congrats, I truly thought your beautiful black and red would win. I also like KWB's orange/rust very much.

You can see that in the exif, I use an old Sony Cybershot F717. I always use automatic because I know nothing about the tech stuff. Studied it many times but it just won't stick into my brain. LOL
Thanks, I wish I could've saved it, but that wasn't possible. It was a damp wall, painted over many times with some thick stuff as you can see. It was not just this piece, it was over a much bigger area. I took many photos. Here's one of a bigger area. If it had been higher up the wall I would've tried to preserve it and frame it. It was however on the lower part. Nature is still the best artist there is sometimes.

I've been away too long. Time to return. I just love textures. Here are my entries. Oldies but they fit the theme I think.
Foto 1 is an old reed roof of an old barn in the province Drenthe, Netherlands.
Foto 2 speaks for itself I guess.
Foto 3 When I was removing the old layers of paint from an old wall in our old farmhouse, this network of fungus appeared.

Yes there were a lot of great photos and I'm glad they were there, but somehow I kept returning to your sea legs. Maybe because it was the 'out of the box' thinking that I hoped and loved to see.

A bit early for most of you guys, but for me it's September 1 and I have to leave to my sheep inspections in a few hours. Thanks to all for participating in my little contest. It's always difficult to pick a winner so I narrowed it down to 'which photo would I love to have hanging on my wall' (if I had the place for it LOL).
So....the winner this time is......Sea legs by Vendee! Congratulations. There's a lot to see in this photo. Love the contrast, the different textures and the seagull.

So in between sheep inspections I see a lot of very nice entries coming in. Don't have time to comment on each one. Tomorrow evening I'm off again for four days up North, a 4 hour drive. Back on Monday. Then I'm off again on Friday Sept. 2 for a three day inspection trip to the South East. On the 7th and the 18th another two inspections and then the inspection season comes to an end. In between I have to enter all the results into the pedigree book. So I have only one day to pick a winner for this contest. LOL Who says life is dull when you're an elderly of 77? Not me! :)

Great entries so far, keep them comming. Think out of the box. The legs don't have to be human or being attached to a human.

In the past I've been a member of a few photography challenges and I left them all, except this one. Reason:
I like small groups where you gradually get to know everyone a little better.The larger the group, the more impersonal it becomes.
I really like the setup of this challenge and yes, sometimes you get a lotof submissions and sometimes less.
Last month I was very busy every day to empty a three-room apartment of a ladyfor whom I provide care, because she has moved into a nursing home. That was a hell of a lot of work. However, there were only oldthings in the house and a selfie with the old stuff didn't help because I am not new either, I'm 77 years old myself, LOL. Sometimes you really do want to participate, but then real life comes in between.
I hope it stays where it is now.
My two cents.
