How to Use This Board  

Here's our
58th Challenge for you all.

"Freedom"

   

Details:  

• This topic was chosen by Cindy, who won our  last Challenge.
  
  
  What a wonderful variety of subjects this offers!  Thank you Cindy for suggesting this new topic!
  
  Please read carefully the "Details" about what is expected, and the rules for posting your photos.
  
  Details as described by Cindy:
  "With Independence Day and Canada Day just around the corner, show us what Freedom means to you."
  
  
  Let's encourage folks by letting them know we're enjoying their entries.  
  

• Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes.  If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo.    It's best if your photos are at least 500 to 600 pixels wide so that they are easily seen.  Please keep your photos under 175 KB in size.

• If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it.  Instructions for doing this are in the "How to" section.  CLICK HERE  If you need any help, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo.

• Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.  

• The challenge is open now and will be closed to uploads on July 15, 2011  and then we'll vote on them.  

• Please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it.  Please only enter photos taken by you.  

• Please put a short title above your photo.  We need the title for the poll listing.  If you want to tell us a bit about your photos, please put it below your picture.  

• Please post only one entry per post/message.  

• Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge.  So start posting.  Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
  
  Let's ALSO NOT put any photos in this challenge labeled "NOT AN ENTRY" or anything that is not to be voted on.
  
  Remember, this is a fun project!

Freedom

Freedom! Freedom to die for one's country, freedom to mourn and remember our fallen heroes. Without their bravery, there won't be freedom.

That's it for entries, folks.  Time now to vote for your 5 favorite entries.  Voting will close July 22.

[Fotobirder]

I don't see the little squares where we can vote. I think you mean July 22nd instead of June 22nd.

[Jeanne Lee]

Steve, it's a good thing you're keeping an eye on me!  

The voting is now open and you're right, I did mean July, not June.  I just don't want summer to be that much closer to ending.   

[BonnieA]

These were all wonderful, which made it very difficult to vote. My thanks to all who contributed to this challenge.
