Challenge #507 - Beauty in the eye of the beholder - you.

We can often find beauty of some sort in everyday sights or little things - not just works of art. Let's see what you find beautiful that many people may just pass by without really seeing or appreciating.

***************

The challenge begins when posted, and will end on Sunday, June 24, 2018 at midnight GMT.

The winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

CHALLENGE RULES:
1. Camera: Any DIGITAL CAMERAS, including cell phones, are allowed.
2. Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
3. Size: See standard P.O.T.N. Image Posting Rules.
4. Post Processing: Do whatever you like and the host will decide if it works.
5. Posting: ONE PHOTO per photographer in each challenge.
6. Details: Show camera model & lens used. Post brief EXIF data including ISO, shutter speed and aperture used.
7. Commenting: Please, NO COMMENTING OR "LIKES" DURING CHALLENGE but feel free to comment in this thread after a winner is declared.
8. Content: Keep it clean, and both Family and Work safe.
9. Have questions? PM me.
10. Have FUN! *

THE WINNER ALWAYS SETS THE THEME FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE, POSTS IT AND JUDGES IT - BE PREPARED! A new challenge should be posted ASAP after you have been declared the winner

Challenge now closed!

When I set the subject for this challenge I hadn't realized how difficult it would be to decide on a winner since what was "beautiful in the eye of the beholder" might not be beautiful to anybody else – or me. So I will totally understand if nobody else agrees with my choice of winner.

I decided to give the top spot to darkslinger for recognizing a past glory, although shep207's extraordinary shot of the streetlighting could just as easily have won.

Thanks to everybody who entered and I just wish that more people had recognized and photographed something beautiful in their everyday lives.
