This thread seems to have been forgotten about...
But here's a picture I took today. A minor 1000000 reflected in the hub cap of a very shiny minor 1000.

Isn't it about time we had a winner for this topic? Was reminded about it today when under the back of a rusty car and saw this view outside the workshop door....

That's a good one Iain.

Certainly beats my attempt that I saw this morning when I looked at the 4x4 parked next to me at work.

This might make me sound a bit strange but I had a dream I saw a Minor 1000000 last night. :-?

Oh this was a hard one. I like two in particular but eventually plumped for the one that had reflection as visual content and, for me at least, mood as well.

And the winner is.........Ianintenbury.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Wow, wasn't expecting to win that one! Made the lying in the puddle with grinder sparks in my hair all worthwhile!
Ok, next challenge is Wild Animal! Anything from from charging Rhino to mildly peeved Gerbil.... (though the first would probably win over the latter thb :) )

We keep getting these damn radioactive lizards round these parts, siphoning off my petrol. Good job I just fitted a locking cap...

Well maybe not such a strange idea as we have one in the Leicester Branch (sort of) although the opposite side to you.

whoops- sorry I missed that! Thank you, I am deeply touched and have a doctor's note to prove it. I'll come up with a new challenge by tomorrow morning, after applying thinking cap. Down, Godzilla! :P

Well I'll start this one off then,

How about this shot of Sky surrounded by our Choir, Wendy and me after the Ascension Day service this evening.
Sorry it's a bit blured, I only had my phone on me and Alison was standing in the road to take the picture. Will try better on Sunday.

Are people getting bored of this game? There must be some musicians on the forum.

Much as I would like to go for the shot of the double bass onthe back seat of the convertible, the limits of my musical ability seem to be installing a cd player, though I have been known to carry a portable gramophone from time to time.
However, trawling the archives I found this pic of a branch rally a few years ago, complete with brass band:

Is it that time again? -and there's me not quite getting round to that pic with the wind-up gramophone. Hey ho.

Ferret76 wins hands down with the baritone saxophone picture. Stick the Gerry Mulligan on, someone! :D
