Photo of the Month - August 2016 - Entries

Post by Voyager One »

New month, new competition!

Theme:
"SIGNS AND SIGNALS"
... set by the last month's winners Ameecher and Transportman


As always, rules can be found HERE.

How to enter:
Easy - simply upload your image to this topic to enter or link it from a trusted site such as flickr, photobucket, DeviantArt, your personal website etc.
Uploading is preferred as it keeps things together. If you're linking from a URL, having a small 'preview' image and a link to a high-res image would be helpful.
If uploading direct to the wiki:
Let's keep entries in a certain named format for organisation reasons as well as keeping record of them in the entries topic and here. If you prefer to upload to the wiki, please keep it in the same naming format as other entries and inform me they are already on the wiki. Name format is - month|year|POTM_user name.
For example: 0816POTM_Dave.jpg / 0816POTM_orudge.jpg / 0816POTM_GeoGhost.jpg / 0816POTM_Ameecher.jpg
You get the idea ;)

At the end of the month, this topic will close and a voting topic will be started with all the entries in for people to choose their top one.
All entries will be uploaded to the tt-forums wiki and stored there for voting and also for archive.
Entries close on the last day of the month, voting will be available for 7 days (approximately).
The winner will need to contact me about what they want the next theme to be and then that will be posted in the entry topic for the next month*. Then we repeat from there. Simple.
(* If the winner doesn't choose a theme within 7 days, the next month's theme will be an "Open" theme).

If you wish to change your entry, you may so long as the entries are still open. Simply upload a new one to the topic and remove your old one.
Otherwise, it may get confusing as to which one you are entering. If there are two entries submitted and you have not informed me which one you wish to be used, I will use the first one posted.

Cheers people!
Leon

You can re-enter with one of your previous entries, as long as it did not win that month's competition.

Here's mine. It was either this one or resubmitting the tree eating the sign.

Yup. Crazy, I know. Rhode Island (tiniest state in the US) is all sorts of crazy. I wondered if it was real too, but a buddy of mine makes road signs and confirmed, though he wasn't responsible for that one.

I've not entered for a while. Sadly I've not had much of a chance to go out and get a photo, but I do have an oldie that suits pretty well :)

Sadly not due to mobile phone policies that still stand when the bloody train is stationary or shut down :lol:
Ironic really as GSM-R is technically a kind of mobile phone :P

I request that this entry be withdrawn on grounds of no complying with Rule 4 (Entries must belong to the entrant), and the reason I do not believe this belongs to the entrant are the following;

- A quick Google Search for "Penrith Railway Station" brings up these two pictures, within the top 10 results.
- I believe that an original Poster would at least know where the image was taken (especially if they were several thousand miles apart!), and I know that this particular station is Penrith, Cumbria, England. The Canopies and Buildings match that particular station, and the station signs are a common thing along the West Coast Main line, which this station is on.
For comparison, here are 2 pictures:
- Penrith, Cumbria, England
Image
- Penrith, NSW, Australia
Image

Hopefully the images aren't too large, if they are, please send me a PM and I will change them to URL links instead. Or, Mods, if you are here before me, feel free to do the same, Thanks!

My apologies .. I didn't read the rules and also didn't realise it is the Penrith in England truly thought it was the one in Sydney outer Suburbs.

I not here to cause problems so more then happy if it is removed or at least not used in the Photo of the Month Entries.

As the number of entries in recent months was around the current number of participants, I would propose to close it.
