Copycat Thread -Post an Image Relating to the Previous One.

Over at Leica User Forum they have been running a fairly long term thread called "Post an image relating to the previous one".
Here is the opening post in that thread setting out its parameters. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/300714-post-an-image-relating-to-the-previous-one/#comments
Of course they insist on posters using a Leica. We should not be so constrained.

The idea is that those participating should find something (anything - a theme, an image component, a person, a building, a composition, a way of lighting etc.) in the the last image posted and post an image of their own with some kind of loose connection to that. It's a more loose version of how some of the threads we have run - though ours tend to have a quite specific theme of some sort - but they still meander somewhat. I cannot recall RFF undertaking anything exactly what I am proposing (i.e. am copying) in exactly in this way, however . In any event it turns out to be quite fun to see how the thread meanders and changes over time sometimes going backwards to earlier themes sometimes making a quantum jump to something entirely new. The fun is in working out the connections which are not always obvious.

The attraction is that because of its nature the thread tends to evolve - a bit like that old parlour game where you have to come up with a word which starts with the letter that the last one ends with. Kind of loose but still some structure to it.

So, I will start - or in the immortal words of Val Kilmer playing "Doc" Holliday in "Tombstone" (good movie by the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfgQWvhu8s4 ) "I will be your Huckleberry!".

Nothing special. Just an old one from my Flickr site. Have fun.

OK If I have seen it I had forgotten. Do you know if it has been in play recently? Happy to reinvigorate it if that is still going.

Last post was one day ago, and the thread has the most posts (12,000+) and most views (4.5 million) here on RFF. So yes, I'd say it's active. ;)
