You could always picture Blackpool sparkling in the winter sun and claim that the weather is bad because it is too good to have a chance to win the competition …

This was a bit opportunistic, not what I initially had in mind but since the heavens opened whilst going around the light show at Stourhead I thought this would work.

Just to get the numbers up ( bad weather even worse when your stuck out in the arse end of nowhere & there’s a rising bollard in the middle of a country lane ) you can’t see for looking due to mist & fog then you have to reverse half mile down single track rd to turn around :scream::joy:

Thank goodness for automatic cruise control being able to see other vehicles!

Sorry there isn’t much else to see apart from bad weather! But I guess that is the topic :joy:

Just the five pictures so a single vote for the picture you think best illustrates the subject. Poll closes on Monday 30th at 22:00

@group-challenges

Congratulations to both our winners! Fog and monochrome seems to be the popular choice.

So well done to Ian - @DroneGeek for his breathtaking view of Florida:

and equally well done to Jim - @Kings for his great shot of York Minster

And thank you to the small, select band that entered and the only slightly larger number of you who bothered to vote. Maybe the next round will prove more popular!
