Hmmm *I* would consider a 'seascape' part of a landscape HOWEVER I don't think most of the people here would, at least I think...if that makes sense

Our first assignment I'm so excited! There are a LOT of landscapes here, I've got the buttes and the rockies and the farms, and the fields, a few miles away from here. I am excited as this motivates me to go out and do more

I think maybe, just maybe, if I include part of the shore or cliffs in the shot then it might pass the stink test but I'll wait to see what our other teammbers think too.. I don't want to burn daylight shooting something I'll never use.. I'm off to bed, talk to you all tomorrow.. :-)

I spent four weeks in Mexico City back in May and am going back there for two more weeks tomorrow. Can I join?? ;-)

Here are photos from my first two trips (two weeks each) to Mexico City...

I fly out in the morning for two more weeks and hope to take plenty more photographs.

We can do either of the open challenges correct? I have no interesting "landscapes" around nearby....well..maybe some in one of the small towns near here. I think I'll go for the "weathered". Might be easier.

im actually thinking about going weathered as well, the landscape around here is what other people would normally submit, your nice shack with your mountain and you big green (or yellow) field with rolling clouds of thunder! In the end, they all melt together, so I am considering the weathered

although the landscape would be easier....

Hey Valdo,

Sure you can be our mascot !!!! Thanks so much for making yourself available too.. Were you born in Mexico ?? I don't think anyone on our team is actually from there or living there.. Maybe you can be our "spiritual" connection to the country.. :-)

Lol yeah I was born in Mexico now living in the UK. When I read about the Olympics I thought there would no Mexico team and stopped paying attention. My fault!

err Greek team?? funny cause I was just talking to a Greek girl here!

But I don't think so I'm afraid. I've only submitted to one challenge in the whole year. I only got excited because of the name and jerseys hehe

But if you link me to their thread I will have a look and make my mind.

All you have to do is beat the Germans

Don't worry about USA, even with 3 teams they will simply fill the bottom 3 places unless the UK beat them to it.
