Well its been a week for archive bug shots making us all long for the spring and summer to come...the weather not being the best in the UK has made for some wonderful snowscapes. Before I announce this weeks winner I would like to give an honourable mention to David995031 for his funny yet sad image which he posted in the just for fun section, where images dont show on the main pages, so often the post will disapear quickly much like the subject of said picture... his depiction of the disappearing snowman. On to this weeks POTW and my choice is one of the aforementioned snowy scen

Very nice if not slightly bitter sweet. I was hoping for a similar sight for an up coming big birthday........sadly I will be painting the bathroom & bedroom on my week off instead now.

Just a random song plucked out of the air to pass away 3mins 40 seconds of the day.......any similarity to current events is purely coincidental.

Stunning and a well deserved winner.

what a capture.... amazing timing FUJI .....the look on the face is absolutely priceless.

My last POTW for this year and despite the lockdowns... be they national, local, tiered or what ever we are doing at the minutue... it seems to be another week for the landscapes. A couple of honerable mentions for Rybear (wrong weather forecast) & Black Pearl (Social Distancing) just two posts from this week containing some wonderful landscape shots in the sets of images from around their local areas. But on to this weeks POTW which I kept coming back too, this is a good sign its a winner and its another local landscape which captured some wonderfull detail in the foreground and a

A man after my own heart.....I can't recommend beans on toast enough for Christmas Dinner. Wonderful shot by the way.

Thats a great piece of work.....I really like that. Is it just me......and maybe I need more sleep but if you stare at the picture it appears to look like its starting to rotate.

Right, I'm back on POTW duty and this week was not as straight forward as my last two picks. There has been some streching of legs this week and the good folk of TIPF have been capturing some wonderful autumnal landscapes (Fogey,colinb & denis) to name but a few with some really nice sets of images from their walks. But this week I'm going with one shot (I could have picked any of the four) of the set by Ryewolf from his big cats shots (I'm a sucker for a big cat) ORIGINAL THREAD can be seen here. The intense look in this image is certainly a typical eye of the tiger stare.

And when I told the wife a foot long sub was not a foot long she was furious.

If you did see the future any chance you could pop back in the dead of night with an angle grinder and open them up.......Please!

Love York..... its a City I never tire of. We are supposed to be there at a concert at the end of November which will no doubt be canceled for the second time but was considering still going... but I guess thats not going to happen now either. I can recommend the gardens and abbey at the back of the museum if you have never been in them before lots of wildlife thats not afraid of people....the squirrels were happily taking nuts from peoples hands. We only stumbled across it on our last visit.

WOW! How would you pick a favourtite from that set.......so I'm not going too.......Just WOW!

I don't think its going to come as a suprise which picture I have chosen for this weeks POTW......in fact it would have been more of a shock if I had not picked this image. My biggest descision this week was Colour or Mono........so at least it gave me a little to think about. In the end I went colour......but only just because I loved both versions. Congratulations go to Black Pearl for this shot of Roker Lighthouse (The Power of the Sea) <<< Origional post here.
