I’ve just voted. It was tough to pick three, and on another day I might have picked a totally different set of pictures to vote for. ---

And we’re done. At the risk of repeating myself, that was an exceptionally strong month. Congratulations to @Strinka for the winning entry, which I thought was a fun and clever take on the theme. 😀 This means that you get the pick the next theme, and as always, I’ll point gently towards the guidance in the very first post in this thread about what makes a good one. Congratulations once again @Strinka - please PM me your pick for the next theme. ---
