'A Rooftop' and New Challenges

Much to tell you this time...

First of all, let's get the new challenges out of the way. We are now up to Challenge Number 5. However, since only the most Herculean of us are able to take a photograph with a mere fortnight's notice, I hereby offer the more definitely mortal a sneak peek of Challenge Number 6. In a horrible eruption of generosity I give you four weeks to ponder that one.

So pay attention as you go about your day and see if you can find an appealing view of...

Challenge Number 5: lunch (deadline 7th July)

Challenge Number 6: (optimistically) sunlight (deadline 21st July)

Next up, the results of last time's vote! Stealing first place by just a single vote was 'Vacant', now enthroned up there at the top of the page. It couldn't have been closer - unless, perhaps, there had been more than one vote. Which brings me to the biggest news of the day: voting is now much quicker and easier.

So then, just before we see the rooftops of Challenge Number 4, I must ask you to decide as you view them which deserves to bask triumphantly at the top-right of the page. I have numbered all the pictures, so note the number and click it in the new polling box in the sidebar (supplied by the stupidly-named - but admirably free of charge - 'Poll Daddy'). And for those who are just scrolling past all this to get to the pictures,



NEW VOTING SYSTEM IN THE SIDEBAR.



Apologies to all you patient readers who are sticking with me. I wasn't shouting at you. Having endured the greens of my blurb, your photographic pudding will be all the more delicious. And you'll grow up big and strong.

Thanks again to the kind contributors - good to see some new names on board, although it would be just as good to see some more old ones coming back. (As always, lick the images to see them properly, and hit F11 in Internet Explorer for a full screen.)

Don't forget to vote for your favourite!
