Photo Competition - With City Views
Posted at 05:33AM Aug 03, 2007 by CarolB
The idea of City Streets may conjure up images of Bogart in a trench coat smoking moodily as steam rises from the New York subway, but when we offered this theme to the Thorn Tree photographers out there, they dealt us the unexpected. They snapped images that uncover the heart of the city, photos that celebrate the urban, candid shots that capture a moment in time and illuminate the special something which makes that destination unique.

The theme of the June Thorn Tree photo competition was Africa or Asia. Yep, it was pretty broad! We were looking for striking photographs that said something about these countries. We received captivating shots of people, wildlife, landscapes, architecture and even a hairdresser... Impressive stuff. Click on the image below to view the African gallery.

Photo Competition - Out The Window
Posted at 05:12AM Aug 03, 2007 by CarolB
Visions seen 'out the window' can appear naturally framed, often making the most ordinary event seem poignant. While travelling, or even sitting at home, we wanted to know just what you saw 'out the window'. With much ingenuity, and a little controversy (what would Thorn Tree be without controversy?), we've selected some truly captivating images for this photo gallery.
Thank you to everyone who had wide eyes, quick reflexes and the kindness to submit their pictures.
