#18


After a remarkable reign of consecutive victories, hermes2015 has been toppled from his throne by xSilverPhinx's photograph (#18) of what looks somewhat like a Citroën Traction Avant* turned into a planter or parade float. Congratulations!

Honorable mention to Lark and hermes 2015, who gave xSilverPhinx a run for her money, and many thanks to all who contributed such fine photos for this edition of the photo challenge.  :daddance:

*I'm pretty sure it isn't, since the Traction Avant always had a one piece windscreen as far as I know, but it has similar lines.

Congratulations xSilverPhinx! Please tell us more about your photo.

It was taken in one of the casino malls in Las Vegas, when I went there a few years back. Unfortunately I don't remember which one exactly because I must have visited all of them. :sidesmile:

Congratulations, xSilverPhinx. Remember the dream you had? Plants everywhere inside a building.  :snicker:

It was a premonition!

That's a really good one xSilverPhinx. Really, really good. The two I submitted were of a truck I thought looked cool and a girl I work with let me (try) to take a photo of one of her eyes. She has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I failed miserably, of course! The photos I got really don't do her justice.

All the photos are excellent. :smilenod: I like the idea of 'nature's art', and along with spider webs and beehives eyes are definitely great natural art (my favourite are heterochromatic eyes, or eyes with more than one colour.)

Her eyes change color with her mood. Typically they are a stormy grey but when angered they turn an icy blue. If they ever turn red I'm going to run for it...

I hope Recusant will reveal the secrets of his number 14.

Um...no. I'm sure it's just a memory that was stored in the hippocampus.  :notsure:
