Not sure if you guys around the world had the Dime TV advert about why you should eat Dime bars rather than Armadillos...(coz Dime bars are soft on the outside crunchy inside, see?) but anyways...... When I first posted this pic in full it was way back in Jan '01 when I still posted under mjshepherd....calling the pic Metal Armadillo. Seeing 'Chelle's shot of the roofline(?) reminded me of it, so I've cropped it and posted it here. Course I could just go and re-take the photo again to make it eligible for the challenge, couldn't I? he he (",)

Actually, thinking about it, I've just gone and done the thing that I said stopped it from being an abstract shot - I've merely taken a photo of something that is abstract in itself, I haven't done anything to make it abstract. D'oh! (",)

SHAME ON YOU Jordy!!!!!....ok kidding, not meaning to sound all philosophical and all, but what does it really matter? The important thing is did you enjoy taking the picture? Do people enjoy looking at the picture? then what does it matter if it's "technically correct as an abstract"? I like the pic, you like the pic, nuff said! Jack

Yeah. I enjoy taking pictures and some pictures I enjoy looking at. All I have to do is combine the two and publish them and lookout playboy!!! Seriously, with a title like that. I was expecting a bug or a bunion however this is far more enjoyable. Thanks for the post. Bsteph
