Hyram,
A great subject! Do you want to see glass in them thar windows? Gaping windows like toothless maws are not what you had in mind?? Sorry to be such a pane!

I am happy to accept windows without glass although glass normally adds to the interest of a window

I see images of Windows 7 have been firmly excluded from the brief....

Yup, and taken on Pentax or a Samsung DSLR, so you are OK with Samsung GX10 or GX20. And if you win you have to pick the subject and judge and comment on next week's competition.

I went on about the London buses last week - this week it's more like Victoria Station, with coaches arriving from all over the place.

You have my sympathies, Hyram. I always thought there'd be a lot of Windows entries but this is a judge's worse nightmare - with so many entrants in the last 24 hours. This is where the good advice about keeping on top of the judging as the entries come in through the week (in your dreams:roll goes out the window. Commiserations and good luck with your task.

Thank you for your concern - 47 entries so far

I have been glued to the computer for much of the day - thank goodness it is rubbish weather for sailing

Please stop entering
