  • DP Now Salon Competition No 117 'Ancient'

    The challenge this time is 'Ancient'. Make what you like of that, buildings, monuments, people...

    We'll be finishing up end Monday 16 Jan 2012.

    The rules, as usual:

    1. All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/
    They can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.
    2. One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.
    3. Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as a links to an image held somewhere else).
    4. Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.
    5. After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.
    6. The curators decision is final.
    7. Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.
    8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.
    9. These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.
    10. As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer an DPNow will not use them without permission.

    Interesting subject. I'll kick things off with this shot I took of Mayan ruins at Tulum, Mexico. I personally qualify as "ancient" but the only photos of that subject I could submit are self portraits.....

    If you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much room.

                Just because cliches are cliches does not make them wrong. I do like walking in the rain.

                    A Dolmen In Bretagne

                    This Dolmen dates from from the Early Neolithic Period, 4000 to 3000 years BC. They are thought to be burial chambers but what interests me is how they moved the big stone onto the top. It is estimated to weigh 4 tons and JCBs hadn't been invented then!

                        Ancient Words:

                        Holy words long preserved for our walk in this world,
                        They resound with God's own heart.
                        Oh let the ancient words impart

                          Blimey where's the time gone?

                          Ok, in my opinion the results are as follows;

                          Third - Sphinx by Autumn

                          Second - Dolmen by Rogleale

                          But the winner is 'Three Doorbells' by Kurt. The subject isn't as 'ancient' as the others but it looks like it is and I love the textures of the wall and the thoroughly tired and abandoned looking doorbells.

                          Loved ALL the pics tho.

                          Over to you Kurt.
