1. All challenges close at 12 midnight (24:00 hours) Eastern Standard Time on Monday 9th June 2008, and will be noted with a "Time's up!" post within the thread.
2. Please use the challenge as a motive to take a new photograph rather than using a photograph that you have taken in the past.
3. Challenges are open to everyone, have fun!!
4. Though not required, commenting on other peoples pictures is encouraged.
5. Only one image per participant so please choose the image carefully.
6. Any posts with images taken before the commencement of the challenge will be deleted.
7. For photos to be eligible they must be taken between the 7th June and 9th June 2008.
8. Ensure dates and times on your camera are correct.

I look forward to seeing many contributors, remember this is to encourage all modellers to take a shot of the subject rather than post a photo taken in the past.

River_eagle, Nice photo, but being a 'steam' guy I was curious about something. Is that a cat jumping through a tire in that tree on the right? Cheers, Jim CCRR

There is actually a little kid playing in the tire. Just can't see it that well in the pic.

It was early morn. I was part way up the stairs of the pedestrian bridge overlooking the yard at Grandure when this grain train flew past. I barely had time to get this shot of the lead locos.

Thanks to all my supporters. :D

I took the picture quickly to be able to post before I left for the weekend, so I am surprised it was so well received. Thanks again.
