POTN G-Series Speed Challenge #12 – Light & Dark
Challenge #12 - This is something I was thinking of today. I figure that with this topic, it allows room for creativity within boundaries. You can take this theme how you like.

To submit, click "Post Reply" and put your Photo Name in the Subject Line. Don't forget your Camera Model.

Post until Sunday midnight GMT, May 1st, 2005

Just found out I can't access my own Web site and my ISP tech desk is unavailable, so here's the same image as an attachment instead of a link (I hope):
