  • DPNow Salon Comp No 77: "Christmas"

    Our town switched on its lights on Sunday. The turnout was tremendous. The most noticable thing were children carrying balloons with the words.......... - "Happy Birthday Jesus".

    So, the challenge is CHRISTMAS.

    It could be a street scene, shop window, parcels or a Christmas plate full of goodies. A dish of plum pudding mmm, tasty.

    The choice of pic is quite open providing it depicts Christmas.

    Closing date 23rd December 2009


    Here are the rules.

    1) all photographes 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 foto/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 links to an image held somewhere else)

    4) Comments only on entries are welcome witin 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.

    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 tread with a finish date and time.

    10) As with all photos posted on DPNow,copyright remains the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

    How great that they were not stopped from doing that by any 'politically correct' madness! Glad to see your town's not followed the pattern of 'de-Christianising' Christmas, as has happened in so many other places.

      True - it was quite a festival. Even Father Christmas made an appearance.

      Anne and I are moving in a few days and the ISP has cancelled our broadband connection, so as to get us back on the ethernet proper when we move in o our new place.

      We are currently on dial up and it has taken over two hours to download 35 emails.
      Please get your entries posted as I can't make as many appearances as normal on dpnowto remind you of the challenge. Thanks.

        Hi Barrie and family,
        Here is my contribution for that wonderful day and special salon..
        My mother (99 years old), in perfect health in all respects, my wife and children with their fiancees, are all singing dedicated songs before drinking and celebrating and opening the presents. If you want to know...We use to drink at that special moment a mixture of champagne extrabrut with sliced peaches in a bowl, prepared four hours before and kept into the freezer I suggest you try it Merry Christmas to everyone Regards, Horacio

                Wonderful family record Horatio. Doesn't your mother look fantastic. (I assume that she is the lady in the floral top, blonde hair). Just love it.

                I've been trying to match up the other family members - they all look a similar age - young!

                I like tha angle at which the photo was taken.
