Photo Challenge

We meant the Reflective Mood challenge to be ambiguous and, for the most part, the entries fell into either ‘reflection’ or ‘mood’ categories…

Who doesn’t love seeing the lights start to come on as night descends? Your challenge is to capture that special, brief moment in the day somewhere close to where you live…

Challengers are invited to take the reflective mood exercise as literally or metaphorically as you wish…
