My sincere thanks to Michael for selecting my shot as the winner of the 159th S&T, it is always an honour to be selected when there are so many credible contenders.

I must now apologise, firstly for the delay in posting this and secondly for the lack of imagination in this weeks topic; I am currently stranded in a hotel room 400 miles from home due to temporary hospitalisation of my partner during a trip away .... the subject matches my mood right now which indicates a topic open to interpretation.

Posting this by iPhone is not ideal but I hope it appears OK to you all. So, blue, let's see it ....





Good luck to everyone and I look forward to seeing and judging the entries!
