July Photo competition is here: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=297989

 

Thanks to I! for choosing my photo as the winner.

 

THEME: This months theme is Drama. Post a photo of something dramatic related to geocaching.

 

The rules are:

 

1) The photo must be cache related and to do with a specific UK cache (any type including events), caching series or caching trip - please include a link to the cache or the GC.... code so we can see where the picture relates to.

2) Max two photos per caching team or cacher.

3) A new thread is started each month, with the OP stating these rules.

4) The winner each month is decided by the winner from the previous month - the new winner starting the thread for the subsequent month. They may set a theme if they wish.

5) Follow the theme

Here is one we took yesterday at GC3GYP7. A storm was approaching, but we managed to avoid getting soaked!

When I see the topic of Drama I was unsure if I could include the image, so I will explain.

 

We had just visited Wonderful Wildlife (GL8XKTPQ) where on the way we had to take shelter from a Thunder Storm after we had left Aira Beck. We were all rather wet on the descent, some more than others but for me the whole walk for the scenery was excellent. The image below is just as my wife shouted out in relief that she could see civilisation again just over the brow of the hill. So you the drama from the cache could come from various places, teh weather, how hard the walk was mainnly for my wife but the kids after they got wet or for me the dramatic view as shown in the image that was seen on the descent.

Thats a great example of drama in my book. Often the story needs to be told that accompanies the photograph.

Thank you. Always eventful when the whole family goes out. lol

I'm just hoping this weekend when I go out on my own for a big hill walk that I can find something else to meet you theme. Either way whatever the weather I'm in for some good scenery.

I suppose it all depends on your take on drama? I found the Chapel Island Picnic to have some dramatic instances to it, so this is my effort.

 

 

Then there was our dramatic sermon at St Gregory's, Vale of Lune

The loosest of loose connections to geocaching, but given the debate about the temporary disabling of caches because of the Olympics;

 

Took these before finding Windsor Great Park 1

My this had dropped to page two, so thought I would bump it to see if there are any more entries before the end of the month.

[+Dogfort]

This was very hard, but IM going with Langy's entry coming down the mountain.

 

It had some good composition points too.
