Now one of the biggest photo challenges in the world is open for us all that love to borrow moments around us with our cameras; small .. big, cheap .. expensive. This year is it all about our senses plus our 7th sense. The Metro Phogochallenge 2013 – just click on this link
“The winners of Metro Photo Challenge 2013 will take an eight-day trip to Ghana to experience the hidden side of Africa, far from the normally shown images in the news or travel brochures. The winner’s expedition photos will be published globally in Metro, helping to raise awareness and create positive change for children all around the world. This amazing, life-changing prize is the result of an exclusive collaboration between Metro Photo Challenge and Reach for Change, the non-profit organization founded by the Kinnevik Group to improve the lives of children and young people.” (text: Yahoo Finance)

Seems like quite a lot of fun Viveka, Thank you for sharing 🙂
You take great photos … why not enter the challenge – a trip to Africa is the global price.
Very enticing 🙂
I will look into it…sounds interesting.
You should, because it’s every day prizes … and the big prize is a trip to Africa, but that I’m not aiming for .. only to get my photos out there.

Calamity- you’ve got your Autumn head on! I’m not letting go of Summer yet!
Now you got me lost …. autumn head ??????
The header- you’ve lost your pretty ladies. 🙂
Okay … That is not autumn … we are picking apples now for our famous cider – Kivik. So I changed header because of that. We had rain for 3 days none – stop .. not good for apples. Also we have a big picture made of apples every year and that happen last weekend.
Look at this link .. 32.000 apples are being used.
There is 26 pictures you can watch in the slide show

Nia, thank you so much … taste & smell … I have entered to so far.
Yes, there is truly some fantastic photos and you should enter some of yours. Doesn’t cost anything and we never know. Looked at last years Swedish winners and I don’t think they were that great.

There is so many entry … amazing price too.
Every country is separate and then the is one global prize. Mine will just disappear in masses.
This will be fun to watch. Good luck with your photos. Love the apple picking header…perfect for this time of the year.
It’s a lovely painting by the Swedish painter, Carl Larsson – he more less only painted his family and his homes surroundings.
Thanks, I will just disappear in the masses with my photos.

This sounds totally magnificent. I LOVE this, when the world launches such expeditions into everyone’s backyard, into vision, insight viewed through the lens or some other contest which embraces this world. Just magnificent.
Good luck Viveka! How do we find your entries?
Madhu, have only done two, taste and smell … *smile So you have to chose Sweden as country to see them, I think.
Thanks.
