While this is true that one could stand anywhere and make several

inspired to take them.
That's the artist's problem not mine. Not making pictures of life around
you is easy. I spoke to something else.

I admit you have made a logical point, I would like to suggest though,
that while you seem to be interested in recording the world as it is, I
am more interested in expressing the world as I would like it to
be. Especially when the purpose seems to be, at least to me, to share our
best work done within the timeframe and within the guidelines..

That's yet another valid consideration, Charles. My work tends to be
literal in expression. For those of a more artsy sway I suppose pictures
don't come as readily. Still, for purposes of TOPE I don't think we need to
get all that up tight about what is and what is not a landscape. Actually,
I haven't submitted an entry at this time for the reason I haven't found a
suitable subject to photograph, but then I live and work in a city and
haven't been out to the park with my camera at a convenient time. Maybe I
should dig through some of my older negatives and then fudge the date of
the exposure. <g>
