In principle, this is quite possible :lol: . Only one nuance - who left him to spend the night in a clothing store for a few nights :mrgreen: :?:

Did you know that "Costa del Sol" translates into "Sunshine Coast"? Isn't that somewhere near Brisbane? 8)

The Gold Coast is to the south of Brisbane. Also where Surfers paradise is located.

Could be a good choice for a theme , Sunshine Coast , either Australian or Canadian themed . The Sunshine Coast in Canada is in British Columbia .

Hi, I apologise for my lateness. I've been busy lately and the competition completely slipped my mind. I hope it's not too late but most entries don't come in until the last week of the month anyway.

Back onto business, congratulations to Chataigne for the victory! The theme is a great idea too, seems appropriate as it's starting to warm up here in Australia :mrgreen:

Here are the final results of the August competition:

Code: Select all

Chataigne		15
Emperor Jake	11
GarryG			10
le_harv		  10
leifbk		    7

mr jj			  4
Tony Pixel		4
ucetcislo1		4
piratescooby	 3
-----------------
Total	    	80
And entries are officially open with the theme "Costa del Sol" , representative of all sunny beaches everywhere. Get ready for a holiday, we could all use one :)

Thought I be the first to go on vacation. I choose to go camping at a place called Cougal. Located on the North Coast Railway line in the far north of the State of New South Wales. The freight train is crossing Cougal Bridge as it heads north to Brisbane and soon to be traversing the Border Loop Spiral before entering Border Loop tunnel and into the State of Queensland. You find me in one of those tents.

Quite an interesting theme :D . I understand that we can choose any Sunny beach or I need to proceed from certain locations of the beaches (in particular, it was said that it could be Australia). If it's Australia, I don't mind :D . We just need to create a piece from this continent. And then show in the screenshot the moment that corresponds to the current theme. That's no problem either. Explain this point to me. Thank you in advance.

Great screenshot, GarryG :wink: . As usual, everything is beautiful, neat and perfect :) .

No .. it not need be Australia .. just the conversation got side tracked. :D

I under stand it can be any place you like to go on a holiday.

Chance maybe to go some where you never been. Can be a beach, snow, mountains, desert, a secluded location or maybe a deserted Island.

Cheers all

Thanks for the reply, wallyweb :wink: Now I better understand the theme. I was just about to start a new map in the tropics.

I have many places in my dreams that I would like to visit. These are not only different and interesting places in Russia, but also many different places outside.

And ideas I have quite a lot about this theme. It remains only to implement and show in the screenshot one of the ideas. I will try to implement it for the remaining time before the end of the month.

Thank you very much for clarifying, GarryG :D .

I'll also be interested to see what other competitors come up with this time.

Regards, STD (Aleksey).

When i choose the theme "Costa del Sol" i was thinking about my holidays in Malaga but it can be everywhere you want like Australia, Spain, Japan, Russia or everywhere else. I think the most important for this theme it's to make a sunny place where you can have holidays :)
(and i need to work on my screenshot too before i forget it :P )

Even Captain Hook and his crew of ne'er-do-wells, brigands, bandits and pirates are in need of an occasional vacation and they found the perfect sunny spot, an uncharted island that sat astride the International Date Line at a juncture with the equator, with lots of sand under which to bury their ill gotten treasure, and so they dropped anchor in a sheltered cove on the tomorrow side of the date line.

Meanwhile, if they had ventured across the mountains to the yesterday side of the date line, they would have found a five star vacation resort with a sumptuous casino frequented by Big-Man Moneypenny and his crew of ne'er-do-wells, bankers, traders, cheats and scoundrels who appreciated the amenities of the convenient vaults of the local branch of The Bank of Off-Shore in which to bury their ill gotten treasure, all the while bathing in the fountain of youth and taking in the sun on a deserted private beach.

The seaside town of "La Playa". Trains and buses bring in many tourists, especially in summer, while a tram takes them to nearby beaches. The town is also famous because of the lighthouse, the marina and restaurants by the waterfront.
