Christmas Photo Face-Off Action #2

<< Previous Entry: Christmas Smackdown 1 | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Things You Can't Do In A London Park >>

This weeks photographs shall all be around the theme of Christmas trees and all captioned by a fictional Victorian poet who's obsessed with the thought that he will die alone. WHAT COULD BE MORE CHRISTMASSY?

Christmas in London Oh lonesome Christmas tree, standing as you are outside the National Gallery. Do they not realise that you are the real picture? Alas.

Christmas in London Oh lonesome Christmas trees, though you are in a group, standing proud beneath the dark steel fingers of the railway sleepers of London Bridge, soon you shall be separated and cut off, sent to a house where they shall not love you. Actually, they'll probably love you a lot and you'll probably die happy. Stupid tree. Hopefull, a chimney sweep will use you for a brush. Hah, that'll teach your self-righteous evergreen self.

Christmas in London Oh lonesome Nelson, standing aloft on your column. Will no-one speak to you? Will no-one at least adorn your head with a festive Santa hat? Someone put a festive hat on me once, but it was street urchin doing it to distract me while he picked my pocket. Oh my aching soul. Sigh.

Wasn't that festive? Christmas trees that missed the headline on Flickr.

One person felt they had something to say.

Where You Take Part

You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

All the views expressed here are opinions of whoever wrote them. They also are copyrighted to you under law. However, because you're nice by commenting on this you agree to have your views licensed under whatever creative commons licence this website is.

Spam will be deleted and anyone caught doing it will be black-listed.

If you click 'remember personal information' your details will be stored in a cookie on your computer and you'll never see this message again. Hooray!
