    Monthly Challenge - July 06

    This month we will mostly be looking at 'Letters'.

    OK, I know it sounds daft but often you can see shapes underwater that look like a letter - the most obvious is a porthole which is a letter 'O'.

    Jane's picture from the June challenge of the mussels could be seen as a 'V'.

    Soo, lets look for animal or wreck or diver or stone shapes that look like a letter.

    Right. I'm gonna get us going on this, it's not a great picture, it is ambient light, it's not terribly clear, it was at 58m, and it looks like a letter to me.

    And if you hadn't guessed, it's a Y

    Some letters from Capernwray.

    This is a real nothing shot, but it is an A



    I quite like this, an O courtesy of Snells window



    This needs some imagination, I saw it as a P laid on its back



    Here's an even more tenuous C



    I think this is a Y, and I reckon it's a decent shot, in contrast to some of the preceding stuff,



    And finally, my favourite of the day, a Q


    Best Regards,

    I think the Q is my favourite too.

    Great Q Mike!

    I saw that "A" frame as well and I hoped that you hadn't so that's blown that one. LOL.

    I still need to sit down with my photos - I'll do that this evening.

    I tell ya tho, that guy in the (non-distracting) black DS, he looks like a helluva diver.
