Meteor at Twilight

Some great shots and a nice variety of styles.

Gotta go with lavanut's Meteor at Midnight. Timing is everything.

Love Mr. Pumpkinhead, though, groundloop.

Chris's Lights in the Darkness is cool. Love astro shots.

teekay's Into the Pipe is great take on the subject. You go first, teekay.

Benitoite's Dark Embers bring me back to childhood camping trips watching the campfires die out.

And Jason's Abstract is by far the most imaginative entry. Great negative "darkness" space.

Well done, all. Take it away lavanut.

Wow, thanks Mark! I had another idea or two for this week's theme, but couldn't get them done in time. This was my backup. More good entries this week too!

Benitoite, your image made me realize how much I've missed my firepit recently. Our weather has been so nasty here for the last week or so, there's been no opportunity to use it.
Groundloop, you photo made me smile. Very clever!
Jason, you always have interesting abstracts.

I'll get a new challenge up tomorrow!

Very nice photo, lava!

Congrats to Lavanut - I never had the patience to try for astro shots, and I appreciate the effort that goes into them.

Interesting subject, and your comments are appreciated, M_Six.

Outstanding shot with great timing, Lisa!

Mark, thank you for the challenge and words.

Congrats Lisa, well done. Imaginative entries from all, indeed!
