Nice photo's. I found it very difficult this time to make a selection.

I'll say.  First time I've wanted to vote for literally every one.

The many great photos make us uncertain which to choose.  Thanks to all of you who have contributed these real world photos.

Number thirteen is interesting in that a feature of the highway makes an unplanned excursion into some farmers pasture a distinct possibility.  Especially true  of hot dog drivers and slightly inebriated ones.

Damn, it's a tie amongst all my choices. I seen the hand of Hermes in those.

It would be a fun game to try and guess who took the various photos.

Indeed it would. Difficult for most though.

Best not to go there, lest one influences the votes.

HAF just has a thing for the photographs of hermes2015.  His kimono-clad woman playing a shamisen wins. :) Congratulations, sir!

Honourable mention to Lark for giving him a run for his money in this photo challenge.  8)

Many thanks again to everybody who contributed images, and thanks to everybody who voted.

#6 is self-explanatory: a pair of storks and their nest atop a utility pole.

#12 is outside the Nîmes Arena (a Roman amphitheatre) on the day of a course camarguaise (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullfighting#French).

#17 is the Place du Marché (aka Place du Crocodile) in Nîmes again. The fountain is an interpretation of the Nîmes coat of arms.

#21 is the Carrieres de Lumieres (https://www.travelfranceonline.com/carrieres-de-lumieres-baux-de-provence/) in Provence, during a Gustav Klimt show.

#25 is a roundabout just outside Briançon in the French Alps.

:clapping: Congrats Hermes and Lark!

So, what's the theme for the next challenge? :grin:

As for mine:

Number four was taken in a park called 'Lago negro' (Black lake) on the outskirts of Gramado (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramado), a small German town near where I live. 

Number ten was taken inside the Venetian, in Las Vegas. For those who are unfamiliar with the building, the sky in the photo is actually a painted sky.

Number fifteen and twenty were taken in New York.

Thank you very much. I've asked Lark to suggest the theme for the next challenge.
