Abstract Impressionism: A term coined by Elaine de Kooning to describe paintings that resemble certain late Impressionist pictures (notably those of Monet) in their brushwork but have no representative content: ‘Retaining the quiet uniform pattern of strokes that spread over the canvas without climax or emphasis, these followers keep the Impressionist manner of looking at a scene but leave out the scene.

Unless there are some late entries it looks like I've got an easy job judging this one. I should be able to chose a 1st and 2nd from the entries that have arrived.

Well a topic like this does require people to be able to get out and about

Having lost most of our snow, we now have freezing fog - can't see the end of the garden

There is a risk of the competition turning into a mystery competition - i.e. what is it ? which I don't think is what David had in mind but I maybe wrong

I think we will all recognise the dreaded blotches occuring on the K5 sensor before long - at least those who can afford !
