I would like to take this opportunity to wish every body a very good Christmas with your family and friends, all the very best for the next year.

Thank you, Christa for choosing the topic, Steve fort the moderation and everybody for the exciting contributions. I am flattered that one of my pics has received the most votes - and it seems appropriate that it had been taken during an ipernity meeting way back in 2018.
I will think about next month's topic and will post my idea soon, but for now want to wish everybody a merry Christmas!

Prima di tutto AUGURI DI BUON NATALE A TUTTI, poi naturalmente i miei complimenti a Erhard Bernstein, Steve Paxton e Herb Riddle per il podio ed a tutti i partecipanti al contest di questo mese, Bruno

Complimenti al podio! bravi Erhard Steve e Herb
come sempre tanti begli scatti.
Infine tantissimi auguri a tutti di Buon Natale!
Mariagrazia

Ich gratuliere den Gewinnern mit ihren schönen Beiträgen.
Ich möchte mich bei Steve bedanken für die Moderation des CWP zum Ende des Jahres.
Allen Teilnehmern wünsche ich Frohe Weihnachten und ein friedliches und gesundes 2025.
Herzliche Grüße, Leo

Congratulations to Erhard for his excellent first place, also to Steve for his runner-up. A great topic which was not the easiest to accommodate. Thanks to all you other participants making this a close run competition. I look forward to the next topic and in the meantime pass on my greetings to you all for this Christmas and New year period. Herb

Hello everybody, this is my conclusion for next month's topic:
"Roads". The idea is to show scenic roads or a spectacular perspective of a road (e.g. with a vanishing point).
I have checked: there are various groups with a similar focus, so that should be inspiration enough ...

Thank you Erhard for the topic "Roads" I will get the topic ready for next month. Thank you for getting this up early so people can get the photos early.

Congratulations for the podium winners, Erhard, Steven, Herb. The topic is interesting, I would just like to know: are streets included?
Wishing you a nice New Year's Eve.

Yes, streets are included, so the "scenic road" could be within a city. But, please make sure that the street and its setting is the topic, and not "street life" or the like, such as pedestrians, parades, shops, markets ...
