Second entry.

PS: Mouse sorry to hear about the camera.

How did it happen? We can all learn from experiences like this.

Sorry to hear about your camera being stolen**, Mouse.



A Stella picture there, mosaix....




** - Expects CCTV footage of everyone who was in the vicinity in the hours around the time of the theft will be pored over by the police. Or possibly not.

Sorry to hear about your camera being stolen, Mouse.

oh sorry to hear that Mouse, I'd be beside myself!!

How did it happen? We can all learn from experiences like this.

Cheers, guys. Happened really quick. I'm really paranoid about losing my camera so always keep it wrapped around my wrist when I'm using it. We went into a tent full of plants (only a small tent) and I moved everything from one hand to the other to get a drink out of my bag. I think I must've dropped the camera then - I remember looking at my camera while in the tent so I know I had it before that point. I came out of the tent and put my drink into a carrier bag, I thought to do the same with the camera and that's when I realised it'd gone.

So from inside the tent to just outside the tent it went missing. I went back inside and it wasn't anywhere, asked if it'd been handed in, looked all around. If somebody picked it up they would've seen me looking for it! I went to lost property and they had lots of cameras but not mine. Just seems strange that it just vanished like that.

I told mum that I felt someone bump into me and I backed off and she thinks it might've gone then but it was wrapped around my wrist so I don't think so.

*sigh*

Anyway, my second entry was taken last month. This is on Charles Bridge in Prague.

A true guardian of the rights of the people here!

 

[Ursa major]

Shouldn't that be Whitehall 1212?


(Although perhaps not, given the badge on your guardian's hat.)

 

[Culhwch]

Clever, AE! And I was just waiting for someone to post a pick of the Guardian...

When the theme went up I was initially flummoxed, but I'm glad we've had such a good (and varied) response! It's going to be a hard month to choose a winner!

 

[CyBeR]

My first intro for the month. It's an older photo, but I think it captures the theme quite nicely.
Cullwch beat me to my original idea, so I'm going for something else for the second photo *mumbles that his bookshelf dragons would turn the tiny soldier to putty but anyways*.

My stars and garters, I actually beat someone to an idea!

LOL! I'm loving a lot of these entries. Hopefully I can get out and take some pics this weekend.

I'm a bit late, but sorry to hear about your camera, Mouse.

There are some really good entries here! I was a little uncertain about how to interpret "Guardian", but I'm really impressed by the pics here. It'll make choosing a winner really difficult again!

Here's my second entry. I know it's not technically a Guardian, but when I saw what was written I thought it might fit. It was on the front of a locomotive at a local preserved railway.

 

[AE35Unit]

Tal, that reminds me a little of Wall-e!

 

[CyBeR]

Or rather the crazy robot from Futurama.

 

[philoSCIFI]

Son of a sandwich... I have to utilize how this following threads goes. I'm a bit rusty. It takes me forever to get back here. lol.

Am I too late?

This is my "piggy bank"... a tried and true... "guardian":

Ah, some excellent last minute entries!

Just a warning - if you've got 'em, post 'em. The poll will be going up at the close of business on the 27th (23:59pm GMT), so there's only a smidge over twenty-four hours left.

This is the Sleeping Ute Mountain, which in Ute Indian folklore is the Great Warrior God, guardian of their people, slumbering until he rises again to defend them from their enemies. On the right side is his head and war bonnet, the big mound is his arms crossed on his chest, and you can see his knees and then his feet sticking up on the far left side.
