Streetlights though a spiders web?

Looks a wee bit too regular for that. I’m going with a blurry fretboard too.

Good guess - I actually only processed it because there was a guitar fretboard vibe about it.

It's my bathroom tiles.

I can see some decent photos coming this month

Maybe it's just my mobile but I can't actually see a theme for March in the new comp thread.

It’s in the header. “On reflection” in case you still can’t see it.  

Well, that's really weird. I can't see a header at all for this month's comp and not even for last month's, even though that was visible in Feb. It must be to do with being abroad and using roaming data.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know what the subject is

I've started attaching the images directly to the post instead of hosting them on Imgur, but I don't know why that would stop you seeing them while roaming.

I can see the submitted entries*, just not the usual header with the comp subject and submission deadline, etc. No probs.

* Except @lovestrat74's entry, which is blank on my screen.

Both the header and lovestrats pic come up as downloads rather than links if I click on them, so it could be the host sites just don’t work or are blocked where you are.

My image is via the FB member channel (or whatever it is called) uploaded directly from my phone

I had some ideas for this month but none of them worked out, so I've gone with a photo of one of the airship sheds at Cardington. You can't really grasp how big they are until you see them. Here's another shot, with my car parked in front for scale

The label that's partly cropped out of my photo reads:

Eve after the Fall

Modelled in clay by Auguste Rodin, 1883

Cast in bronze, before 1921

This is not simply a smaller version of the life-sized Eve nearby. Rodin wanted a smoother finish, so he worked the clay carefully, creating a more refined and appealingly perfect Eve.

I was in Newcastle last night, there were some great reflections along the river... might be changing my entry when I get home this evening!

So I decided not to change my entry. However, this post is more of a reminder that if you're intending to enter this month's competition, you only have one day left

I snuck one in at the last moment. Not the image I'd preferred to submit but I found that Flikr and iPads can be a very frustrating combination.

BTW The comp images I was not able to see on my Android mobile do show on the iPad, even though the iPad is using the mobile as a hotspot. Go figure.

How weird. Is it just the ones that are hosted directly on here which you can't see?

I believe it is. It's the thread starter image with comp details, @lovestrat74's entry and your own entry Kerry. Heaven knows why my mobile won't display them, but fortunately my iPad does.

If you want to vote in this month's competition, you've only got a few hours left to do it!

And if you want to know who this month's winner is, it's just been announced over in the competition thread

Thanks to everyone who took part. I know I say it every month, but I really do mean it.

Morning all! New competition thread for April is up

Do the photo's have to be recent? I'm just not getting any camera time at the moment.

In theory they have to be taken within the last year... I'm not checking metadata or anything like that though; it's just intended to be a bit of fun, there's no prize or anything.
