So many good photographs again this week. I think I will have to start being more selective in future or I will end up posting pages and pages of Picks of The Week!

A while back I told myself to select the three best each week.

I couldn't manage it.
 
And another thing...

I was very assiduous in visiting the Gallery a couple of times a day, copying the "best" photographs into My Favourites in order to whittle the final list down. :angel:

Yet I still didn't pick up on some of the top shots selected by other colleagues on this thread!:bang:
 
Thanks Lazar!! so much appreciated!!!

Bush did the same but got thrown into the whitehouse.

Yup, and now look at the state of the US economy... the madness of King George.

Lennon was a wise man. I love the "imagine" posters which float around amazon.

On-topic: there are so many great photos in the gallery each day. It is quite hard to judge. :)
 
Juvenal had it right all that time ago:

"...from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions - everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses "

... and to this we can now add wide screen telly and t'internet.

Don't worry guys, they know what they're doing.:bang:

P'raps this could do with a thread of it's own somewhere.

It's weird and it's wonderful.

You have photographed such desolation in a beautiful manner.

Just to say that I am hugely flattered to have one of my pictures given the thumbs up in this way. Particularly so, given the huge number of excellent images shown here.

It is actually part of a wider body of work called Longbridge, and it reflects the fact that when I moved there in 2004 there was a working car factory, and when I left in 2007 it had been demolished. I'm now living in a totally different part of the country, but strangely there is still industrial dereliction of the clay mines here in Cornwall. I need to put the finishing touches to the web site.

Thanks again

Andy
