Monthly Photo Competition #27 – February, 2025 – “Motion” poll added

This is the monthly thread for February, 2025. The topic this month is “Motion”, chosen by @beowulff.

Please post only your photo and, if you want, a title in this thread. Any other text belongs in the rolling discussion thread. Exception: discussion can commence in this thread after the poll has closed.

The general rules for the competition are here.

One entry per person per month . To make the photos easier to review please only post just once to this thread, with your entry.

Once the submission deadline has passed, I’ll put a voting poll in this thread.

Submission deadline: Monday, February 24, 11:45 pm US EDT.

Good luck!
