This forum has a diverse, global flavor. Show me your civic pride! Anything from your city, town, state/province, country/region...whate​ver makes you proud to be there or call your own!
Echoing Roger's words "I would be delighted to see 6 or more entries for this competition because lately the number of entries has been rather sparse".

The challenge begins when posted and will end on Monday, June 8th, 2020 at midnight GMT. The winner will be announced shortly after (on Tuesday).

CHALLENGE RULES:
1. Camera: Any DIGITAL CAMERA is allowed, (not just DSLR).
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 DURING CHALLENGE. 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.

Okay, I'll play.
There are too many Wows in my beautiful city, so I'll sum it up with an image of it's lively heart: Dam Square with on the left - just visible - a corner of the National Monument (rememberance of those killed in WWII) and all the way across, in the rear the Royal Palace.
A composite of I don't know how many shots taken on a wet, dreary day.

Well now;

My wife and I really don't travel much at all, so I am resigned to my little corner of America here in NH. We absolutely
love living here.

Natures beauty in this section of the country always makes me feel, WOW.
