Welcome to the Photography Contest!

Here you submit photos you've taken and users vote on which photo they like the best!

  

Submission deadline: November 1st

 

This time, the theme is: Historical/Heritage Sites

Rules:

- One entry per person.

- Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra.

- No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.).

- No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo.

- When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness.

- You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition.

- Winner hosts the next contest.

Oooh... Unfortunately I do not travel and therefore have no pictures that would qualify for this category.  Love the submissions though! ❤️ Make sure to enter if you can, everyone!

I don't know where you live but I'm sure there's some historical sites near, no need to be hundreds of years old. Could be a war memorial or something like that or something about your town history.

I'd like to change my entry to oriental one.

Southern gate of Seoul fort:

Is it worth to change?

While both are neat, I think this may be the better image (the fence distracts a bit in the other one).

OOH tough. Running with this one of Callanish stone circle on the isle of Lewis, Scotland.. (Taken in 2010)

But I really hesitated over the houses of parliament in Budapest, seen from the Fishermen's Bastion. (Taken in 2015, on our 50th wedding anniversary trip)
