Photo Comp - Nov 2011 - "November"

Post by RiK »

This months topic, chosen by GoatForm, is (drum roll!) "November"
GoatFoam wrote:I was thinking of being unoriginal and doing a thematic followup to "autumn colour". "November" lots of bleak looking landscapes, stark lighting, fireworks etc. Or nice spring days for people in the far south.

This one was taken at the end of October even though it has a November look, so i have to go with the first one unless i find something else
Rain, wind, storms, stuff coming down the river

Went to a bonfire party tonight - it's not easy shooting fireworks handheld! Here's my favourite though:

Arleta by Richard Olpin, on Flickr

Taken yesterday in Bristol, with some very odd looks from passers-by as I buried Arleta in a pile of leaves on Bristol harbourside!

I'll post some more, but I'll stick with this as my entry unless I change my mine later :)

Actually, we did the old arboretum first as we were waiting for a mate to arrive, then went over to the 'new' collection later. It's only about 15 mins from home for me so I really should make more effort to get up there.

Well let's see. Goatform set the topic, I posted an entry which he liked, and he also mentioned Westonbirt, so I posted a few pics from there too just to keep the conversation going in the thread. If they're off-topic then so what? it's not like it's going to make the thread explode is it!
How about you just post some more pics that you think *are* on topic then?
