Default POTN G-Series Speed Challenge #25 - wheels

POTN G-Series Speed Challenge #25 - wheels

Challenge #25 is wheels

All kind of wheels or things that resemble wheels.
You can include in the picture whatever you like, but let the wheel be the main subject.

I can not stop thinking in Spanish and the word ‘RUEDA’ (wheel) can be used to describe a lot of things (hula-hoops, gears, sprockets, tires, water wheels, windmills). You may expand the meaning of word wheel too, do not let that my limited English knowledge limit your imagination.

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, July 31 2005.
