Early morning mist by Sabine - congratulations!

Probably the highest number of entries in any one round so far: 14! Thanks to everyone for participating so enthusiastically.

Discussions on 2015 photo competition as well as a first time ever 2014 annual winner will follow.

Well done Sabine!

I'm inviting suggestions for the four 2015 competition themes to plan ahead. Someone already has suggested fires as one theme, which is a good one for the July-September period.

I am suggesting for the first time to have a "best of 2014" too. This would involve some sort of voting on the four winners from 2014 (possibly similar to the way we do it now).

Comments please.

Suggest themes for 2015:

Jan-Mar: Peak Perspectives - Cathedral Peak
Apr-Jun: Cave Comforts (all about how appealing sleeping in a good cave can be)
Jul-Sep: Fire
Oct-Dec: Green (all about capturing the bright green colours of spring)
