Little Bob, abandoned in his pram while we explore the caves, rock pools and beaches of Banff. Too much bother to drag the pram around. Lubitel 2, Tri-X. 1974 or 1975.

On refection, it looks like a huge beast is lying down beside him.

So it's a tie! Well done @Jao and @Mrs Snap . Two shots which in different ways really feel lonely (I wasn't sure whether the addition of a dog would empty out the lonely feel, but no, maybe it enhances it). Over to you, Adrian and Janet. Looking forward to another challenge...

Its traditionally settled by fisticuffs or Kerplunk.

 

[simon ess]

Not forgetting the great Black Pudding and Oatcake Duel of '97.

 

[Mrs Snap]

I prefer Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.

I'll have a think and let @Jao know what I come up with. If he does the same, hopefully, we'll be able to set up a new challenge reasonably soon.

 

[Jao]

After discussions with @Mrs Snap the next theme will be arriving very soon!
