Challenge #240 - Local Landmarks
For this week I want to see photographs from your local area of Landmarks that you probably see every day but maybe take for granted because they are just 'there'. For instance, I see Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument every day on my travel to and from work, but am ashamed to say I can count on one hand the amount of times I've headed to either armed with a camera :o. So, look again at your local area through new eyes and your camera lense!
The results!
#1 - Scooter49 - Gomez Mill
#2 - Maureen's Giant Redwoods
#3 - Fergie's Castle
Thanks for your entries - Fergie, I'm glad you found the time to participate despite being busy. Hope you had a great weekend in Glasgow (weather was great!) and look forward to seeing the photographic evidence!
Maureen - where are your redwoods? I've been to Yosemite - is that where they are? We have an 'Avenue of the sequoias' in a Botanical Garden near Dunoon but I don't think they are a match for yours.

Over to you Scooter - for Challange 241 - hope there are more players than this week!
