The Pinner Memorial Park was purchased as a memorial to the dead of both World Wars. West House, out of the shot, houses a café (hence all the pigeons flying around) and the Heath Robinson Museum.

For those of you late to the party it seems Richard had his ring surgically removed by AI but now, through the magic of keeping the original camera output his ring is now exposed on the bank of the pond for all to see and admire! :slight_smile:

The results are in!

Third place goes to Leigh - @leighwalker with a picture taken in the depths of (the Australian) winter. It shows an unnamed pond between Eastern Creek and William Dean Street in the imaginatively named Sydney suburb of Eastern Creek. We hope you are recovered from your sub-zero expedition, Leigh

In joint first place is Maz - @Maz (no further name given, a recent recruit to GADC. Well done for producing such a great image, a sunset always seems to get the votes. It looks like a nice place for model boats and for flying - this is a link to a little more information about the pond

Then we come to our second winner for this round, a name that most of you will recognise from his past successes in this challenge, Jason - @Acedrone with his formal pond, part of the extensive gardens and water features of the Boughton Estate, well worth a visit if you are near Kettering. A look at the Google Maps view shows that extensive restoration work has been done on the site

Well done to all of you who entered (even @macspiute who has somehow wormed his way back in after being banned) Congratulations to our winners, will they triumph again in the next round or will someone else capture the most popular image of Moving Vehicles?
