We have a wide field of impressive photos for this one. Thanks to all who submitted entries! I'm pretty sure I've got them all here, but I've made mistakes before, so if you sent something to me and don't see it here, please let me know ASAP. Also, as usual I will accept last minute entries for a couple of days.

Nice selection to choose from, excellent job everyone. The winning votes have been cast.

I had a notion to submit a picture or two.  These are far too good to compete with. I do not have a taste for humble pie.

There isn't any rule about what you vote for in these things, except the number of votes each member is allowed. You can vote for any photos you want to, for whatever reason.  :)

Oh man, good job guys! This was hard to pick 5! I want to know the stories behind these pics.

I'll tell my story about mine when the contest is over.

Mine were 3, 10 and 16

3 was one of the entries in a street art exhibition in Gloucester. With my enjoyment of scifi and fantasy it sort of pulls my strings and presses my buttons!

10 is the 1918 statue of my favourite historical figure, the Anglo-Saxon Æthelflæd, a genuine warrior princess, daughter of Alfred the Great and Lady of Mercia, with her nephew Æthelstan, who was to become the first king of a united England. She died in 918.

16 was an entry in the "Crucible 2" exhibition in Gloucester Cathedral. Just something about the power - plus the skills that went into the concept and the cutting and welding of the parts.
