Photography Board Summer Assignment, 2010: Scavenger Hunt

[PrincessInOz]

Great work, PrincessinOz, and this made me LOL.

A good friend of mine who lives in Australia was home visiting this week. We went out to breakfast and I was telling her about you guys! She was very impressed. We'd driven there together, but when I was dropping her off to her car we sat for a few minutes saying goodbye in a spot near a construction zone. The police officer nearby gave us a few minutes but then angrily came over telling me to move. When he came up to the window, he saw we were both bawling and all I could manage to blurt out was, "She's home from Australia" and his whole demeanor changed. He said, "Never mind, ladies, take your time, no worries" and we both started bawling even more seeing his kindness - "That was so nice!" Anyway, it has nothing to do with pictures but I thought you might appreciate it. She gave me a couple of ideas for next year.

Wow! You got lucky with a cop???

And now us Aussies have to worry about insider information for next year as well??? It's bad enough that we get to stretch the boundaries as it is; imagine what we're going to be like with reality!!

But more importantly...do I get to claim any extra points??

ps. Were there any orange construction cones and construction workers near the construction zone? If so, did you take a picture? (My life is so sad at the moment!)

Jukebox*[/B] I'm hoping for a better example...but this is a Video Jukebox, modern style. I've had to visit most of the bars in Melbourne city (what a hardship) and this is the first Jukebox of any sort I've come across in 6 weeks.

Monastery*

too funny visit the bars and then go to the monastery and you said in your last post your life is so sad at the moment

couldn't resist I'll pray for you

Aeroplane There was an air show on today - shame the cloud rolled in at the same time as the aeroplanes.

Expression On hearing yet another of his Dad's jokes!

And the one that got away - Frisbee in flight - the dog got to the frisbee first and demolished it!

And this week's category stretch.....This category is something that I'm 99.9% certain that I'm not going to get in Melbourne at all....




Notice something missing?

Yup! I'm a Hoe Down** in the line-up!





ps. Unless you're planning on awarding points, don't bother responding! I'm not claiming any....just pure FUN!

This is great!! That is one category that I knew I wouldn't be able to get, but it didn't stop me thinking about how I maybe could!!! But I didn't think as laterally as you, obviously!!! Very clever!
You are doing very well with getting your photos! I have to get out a bit more, I think!! Keep them coming - they are great.
