Bump! Can't wait to see the entries this month! Y'all blew me away last month! 

Random question in regards to past winners. Is there anywhere where these are show cased if someone wanted to look back (instead of going to each particular thread?) Not sure if anyone would be interested in this but could be fun to see month to month!

Will have to see what I can do for an entry xD

I took this picture on Lake Geneva in Switzerland last year, in the briefest of moments when it looked like this pandemic was finally improving.

Reminds me of hope and sunshine.
