You have done really well. :clap:

This is probably my last year of taking part - the last three have been fun however. But life moves on.

Although I also said that last year :joy:

Hi Andrew @BadManners unfortunately although the Shard is technically illuminated its not actually what we we are after for this subject. We are after buildings that are illuminated externally. If we allowed illumination from internal sources basically any office block or block of flats at night with lights on would count and that is not our intention.

We will reword the Illuminated Building subject accordingly.

As your entry has been rejected you are welcome to submit a new image for this subject.

Thanks Ian.

As it is obvious that we know nothing about drones :slight_smile: could you enlighten us as to what the aircraft in the picture might be, please?

2 points btw :slight_smile:

Sorry Barrie, that is not one of the bonuses available:

Bonus point for the driver carrying the delivery toward the customer’s premises.
Bonus point if a Royal Mail or Parcel Force van is recognisable in the same shot.

Just the one point.

In all honesty, I don’t know.

Starts with an H however :joy:

But appreciate the 2 points

Quick question regarding Item 1
To gain the bonus point for the cryptic illumination colour. Does the colour match have to be all around the building 360 degrees or is it sufficient for the bonus colour be present on some part of the circumference. Guess because of changes to this item few will be back to searching again, myself included

If the colour requirement was for just one area of the building, John, we think that our loophole finders would be seeking out buildings lit up for Pride week:

We require the building to be illuminated from an external source of all one colour if you wish to claim for 360 degree coverage.

If you wish to claim for the building being lit partly by the colour then, as long as there are no other colours other than white, a correct colour will earn a bonus.

Security came to mind regarding the driver but more importantly the DHL customer.
Good picture though. : > )
