It was a carefully chosen subject. As the timespan of the competition includes the shortest day there should be no unpleasant early starts or late finishes to worry about.

Sorry for the FPV guys though, " derelict buildings" was there to be voted for :slightly_smiling_face:

I hit the wrong button and the post went live before I had added the poll - which isn’t designed for insertion of pictures, has to be done by cutting and pasting the picture url. It is now complete so you can go back and decide on your best next subject :slight_smile:

Sorry Rob ! The weather has been really poor, THEN I’ve been grounded for 7 days by the covid app- I have to self-isolate until the 22nd at 23.59 ! Possibility when I’m let back out, (or a DSLR pic from a bedroom window in the meantime :thinking:)
