My plan is thus: I will give my choice of theme for November to the first (sensible) suggestion with the proviso that December has a theme of Happy Holidays. Is everyone OK with that?

[EDIT] I have been sent a PM with an interesting theme. The theme for November will be No Trains.

A very interesting and simple theme. A large scope for imagination :D .

I'm happy with that, got a couple of ideas already springing to mind and I might have to remake an old screenie I made last year for December

Meh, december holiday themes are so cliché. I'd prefer something more original, but I expect to be outvoted on this one. :P

Nothing in particular, just anything that doesn't have a lot of snow, romatic fires, colourful lights and chrismas trees. It's like having a summer theme in summer, a winter theme in the winter, or a holiday theme during the holidays. :P

Yeah, something totally not christmas-alike would be nice. Something like an "Unmerry Christmas" would be a nice change for december. Although I quite liked the tropical Christmas shot some Australian once submitted. :mrgreen:



Alternatively, we could just let the November winner pick the theme for December, like in any other month.

Interesting thoughts about the selection of topics :mrgreen: .
But about providing a possibility for a choice of the theme for the December winner I agree :P

Does that include "no tracks" as well, or would a pair of tracks going through the screenshot be OK, as long as there is no train visible?

DON'T ASK! Jeez, now you give him the chance to add a "No tracks" requirement! Which I'd disagree with. :O
Yep. Or just one abandoned track would do, I guess. :P

WRT the No Trains theme - showing tracks is fine. Themes never have set rules to them as I believe that this competition is self-regulating to an extent. For example, if the theme was Coal Stations and you entered a farm and a factory, I would hope that people would choose not to vote for it as it doesn't fit the theme. Therefore, this months winner is not solely who creates the prettiest picture but also who encapsulates the theme in the best manner.
