Posted by chunkybeats
Hey fellow members thank you again for the votes last month, and my second win on here. Unfortunately we had a quiet one and not many entries. So to address that I have made this month much more easier.

This month is all about where you live or from. What I want is an entry with your landmark in your town, city etc. You can shoot it anyway you like but a little description of that landmark would be good! I will be keen to google these locations to see what they look like!!

Good luck for this month and please find below the usual rules

Only pictures by phones.
Only pictures taken during this October.
No post-processing.
Changing entry allowed once .
Pictures must be uploaded to the Esato photo gallery.
Link from the Esato gallery must be inserted beneath your entry.

It is a sculpture known as the "Ferns" the national emblem of NZ.

Nice theme, there are lots of landmarks where I live.

Thought I'd get my entry in early this month, don't want to leave it too late again. Here is a photo of a statue of our "Local Hero" Sir Bobby Robson at the foot of the steps of the Gallowgate End at my beloved St James' Park.

Woo hoo first entry

The smell of chocolate and the sight of this radio tower always takes me home.

Good theme! There are so many to choose from where I am. It will give me a little project for tomorrow, hopefully I'll have some Winter sun.

@hihihans I remember that tower flashing at night from your house in your attic bedroom nearly a year ago now

Posted by hihihans
It was cold and wet that week.
How about your landmarks?

Posted by Bonovox

Awesome shots guys really meeting the brief! I have no idea what my entry will be..... Since i live in a very windy city I could just snap a photo of people struggling to walk down the street!

Bono - Cool building, I miss buildings like that over here in NZ, im jealous you have them beautiful old buildings!

Thanks 😊 yes we have a good mix of old and new here in Birmingham. The new library was designed by a Dutch woman and some love it some hate it

Posted by alenn
I have to shoot some photos this month because it's such an easy theme.
Hihihans, I pass by a big chocolate/candy etc factory when I'm going home or to school.
It's a nice smell.

Sorry folks mine is re-uploaded again I deleted my photos in a fit of annoyance over personal comments by someone on my photos. I shall class this as my 2nd entry

Posted by alenn
Nice shot Bono.
If the comments annoy you ignore them. At least the bad ones.

Posted by Bonovox
Yeah true thanks mate

Posted by alenn
No problem. I need to activate myself on this forum again...

Posted by alenn
I'm going to school tomorrow so I'm gonna try and make some pictures on the way home.

Posted by hihihans

Posted by alenn
I have a better idea but it's gonna involve some walking this weekend which I've been planning anyways.

Exciting entries! Keep them coming!

Here is my entry for this month - This is the famous kiwi landmark in my home city of Wellington - The Bucket Fountain.

This is a clip in how it works, quite a clever little sculpture and if you arent aware of it, it can give you a fright and get you wet!

I often wonder if maybe more than just me is tired of the same ol thing over and over.... I had some great shots but opted to no longer enter... This contest, forum and its associated "issues" have been long running... It would be nice to see more users take a stand to help motivate change. Its just stale / not bad (for most, I'm guessing) but just stale.... I'd be excited to see this site, contest and gallery get a makeover. As fast as all other technology around us evolves - the only thing that has really changed here is the onslaught of ads, banners and spam.

.... now back to your regularly scheduled program.
