Thanks to Jim and Trumper for the great entries.

All yours, Maureen.

Congrats to Maureen - and thanks to Mark for running the Challenge.

Once again we have a disappointing number of entries so I would like to reiterate a previous suggestion. Perhaps it is time to combiner some/all of the small camera POTN challenges. Please will the moderators get together and consider this suggestion.

I enjoyed that challenge ,well done Maureen .I wonder whether the fireman on the right were looking at the young lady

Congrats to Mo. Fun challenge Mark and well played by all.

I must say that I agree with Martin that our merry little band of G-camera photographers is growing smaller by the week. It is time to relook the contest participation rules and see if we can broaden the interest in our weekly contests.

Thoughts?

Well that is a thought & one i will discuss in the Mod Forum before anything else. It really is disappointing that we have so few entries each week.

Thanks to Mark for the challenge... I haven’t hosted in a while but I will post something up in a bit. Loved Jim’s firemen entry....they noticed a pretty lady right away. ߘ

My G11 is my "Go To" travel camera.
Maybe I'll have something more to contribute in the next few weeks from my trip to San Francisco.

Hope you have a good trip. I' not a city guy but San Fancisco is my favourite US city. Many moons ago I drove with my family from San Fancisco to Denver. What a memorable trip!
