Photoclubalpha

Hello everyone!

Welcome to our new challenge.

Since Yildiz was under attack for her efforts in the last challenge, and since she seemed to indicate she wanted a break by her comments at the close of the last challenge, I thought I'd step in and offer my own.

As the title suggests our new challenge will cover the Holiday Season - whatever that means to you and your religion or lack thereof. It could be plays, pageants, feasts, time with family, presents, whatever.

This challenge will run until January 20th, 2012, so that there will be time for those of you who celebrate on the Julian Calendar to get your Holidays in, too!

It doesn't matter if the Holiday you celebrate is Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, etc., - or none of the previous. However, I want only entries for this Holiday season, no digging them out of the archives!

Enjoy and have fun!

Dusty

Specifications:
*Challenge #44 ends on January 20th, 2012.
*The dimensions of the photo should not exceed 1024*1024pixels. If you use the website’s attachment feature to upload your photo directly to the Photoclubalpha website’s server it would be wise to keep the size of the photo around 250 KBs, to spare some server space for the future. : )
*You may enter with as many photos as you like, however they must be taken between now (Nov 30th) and the end of the Challenge.
*PLEASE TITLE YOU PHOTOS SO I WON'T HAVE TO DURING THE JUDGING. If you don't I reserve the right to title them myself.

Good initiative and suitable challenge, Dusty. Thank you!

Okey dokey.

OK Boss, we will work on that one I think is chance Evan will be in the picture.

Regards,

Frank

Well done Dusty . Looking forward to it.

Ah, very appropriate and relevant, Dusty.

Hope there'll be many, many exciting entries reflecting on the Holiday Season from around the world.... : )

I guess I'll enter this one in the challenge; "The Windowshoppers"

And I was thinking: why isn't Kevin linking his shot of the shoppers?
Good choice Kevin.

Well I'm not good in English for writing (as you probably often see ).

Here is story picture concept for the holiday Season:

*** THE XMAS TREE DREAM ***

1/3: like a prisoner I'm attach and pull out of everyone I love ... 2/3: At nigh I dream of all those beautiful memory so far away ... 3/3: When I'm lucky very late at night, I make wish and my flying star smile at me with... That's it .

My last for for the year, after that waiting for other to post...

Sad to say we have still not cut it as nobody has had enough appetite by the end of the day - yet

Our Christmas is on January 6th, but we were out on the 25th with all the family (sort of a prelude).
