+Dogfort Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment
+St.Nicholas Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Here is one we took yesterday at GC3GYP7. A storm was approaching, but we managed to avoid getting soaked! Quote Link to comment
Langy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 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.

+Dogfort Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thats a great example of drama in my book. Often the story needs to be told that accompanies the photograph. Quote Link to comment
Langy Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thats a great example of drama in my book. Often the story needs to be told that accompanies the photograph. Thank you.

+Haggis Hunter Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment

+NickandAliandEliza Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) 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 The start of the 200km Kayak Sprint final at Eton Dorney. Will Ed McKeever of Team GB win the Gold after years of preparation? YES!!!!

+Haggis Hunter Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
+Dogfort Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 This was very hard, but IM going with Langy's entry coming down the mountain. It had some good composition points too. Quote Link to comment
