Beauty in Decay Redux: So Good We'll Vote Twice!

[joeactor]

Lovely photo - Kudos Rec!

Yup, good one.

If I had realised old ruins counted I would have offered a selfie.

[Magdalena]

Yup, good one.

You're funny.

Ah well, my photo of the little ruin in Provence in southern France has netted the most votes. Thank you to all who participated in this run-off vote.

Now I'll have to come up with a new theme. I don't think I'll even try to match the brilliance of hermes2015's theme. If anybody has a suggestion for the next HAF Photo Challenge, you are welcome to PM me, or put it in this thread.

A belated congratulations Recusant! I think your photo expresses the theme extremely well.
I think you should not dodge out of proposing the next theme - as the winner you have to..

Thank you, Gloucester. A selfie certainly would have been accepted as a valid entry.

Thank you, hermes2015. I've got a good suggestion or two, and have thought of some myself. Letting it all percolate, but ideas are always welcome.

OK, what about something along the lines of paintings by Chirico or Magritte, in other words a surreal scene that juxtaposes incongruous objects or ideas?

Too exotic IMHO. The photos have to be within the capabilities of your average snapper otherwise hardly anybody participates.
