William Dyer-Sunset flowers in my back garden. Just caught the light at the right time, the light changes the colours of foliage, I also think the lens flare adds to it, cutting the picture in two.

When the group met up in Bellahouston Park I was in Albania and decided to take myself off to Tirana Water Park and take a series of photos on the theme of Play. This is Ana playing the violin because of her love of music.

David Cooper- A group of men playing dominoes, a common sight in Tirana.
David Cooper- And finally I came across this sculpture.
