RULES

1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.
2. Photographs must be your original work and that has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting pictures for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.
3. Only one photograph may be entered per contest.
4. All photographs must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders
5. Photographs must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700 pixels.
Free resizing software - Irfanview.
6. Deadline for entries is 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted deadline date.
7. Voting ends at 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted end date.
8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.
9. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own photo, try and make it fun.
Be reminded that this is a photo contest and so images which have been heavily manipulated through an image editing software will not be accepted. To put everyone on a level playing field, editing should be restricted to cropping and resizing.
Images which are not relevant to the week's theme will be automatically removed.
If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 7 days to take pictures and submit them. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 3 days (12am Sunday - 12am Wednesday).
Those who wish to participate in sharing full versions of their entries may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.
Thank you and have fun!

Its HOT!

I'll be honest, I had trouble deciding which shot to use, I have soooo many nature pictures. But its been hot as hell here lately, and even though I took this picture on horn island years ago(its my campsite) it does a good job of describing how hot it is right now!

More clouds!

The top of Mt Wellington in Hobart. The weather up there? Always cold, usually rainy. Often there's snow on the ground, even in summer.

We lucked out on a sunny morning, which clouded over as we were leaving.
 
Isnt that an Osprey Nest? I dont know where you are, but it looks just like Horn Island in the golf coast Axed!

Might have been, not sure. I was at a Marine Study Area in New York with my Environmental Systems & Societies class when I took that picture a year or two ago.
 
I love user 'Changed' photo - sunrise during a flight is breathtaking.

Here's my entry for the round - what I couldn't capture in a photo was how dark it was prior to and during the flash of lighting. It was pitch black and then almost daylight and then split second later - pitch black. I was huddled up in the boot of my car using the boot as cover whilst trying to shoot this 'free hand'.
