Al Gore? It's Tony Abbott, you ********.So that's what Al Gore gets up to on his days off!He sure looks like him! A wonderful real-life moment that would leave the average viewer scratching their head wondering what it was all about. Was this at a protest of some sort Adam? I gather it was in Australia with the traffic being on the left hand side of the road.[doublepost=1507806744][/doublepost]Oh, I forgot to mention, thank you to all who played this week, Enjoyed the range of storytelling on show!

Had to sit this one out , life's been getting in the way recently . Congrats to @anotherscotsman and @Nathan King , and a special thumbs up to @The Bad Guy for enabling me to start an otherwise crap day with a good laugh . Haven't seen anyone this bizarre walking around untethered for some time .
Love all the cheeses out on display, but none of it's refrigerated!
But isn't that how it became cheese in the first place?
Shoulda guessed with those flappers attached!Al Gore? It's Tony Abbott, you ********.

A great documentary set of images, Adam, did you get to any of the #StopAdani protests last weekend?[doublepost=1507843576][/doublepost]
That's true! Our laws here make it that cheeses once they are cut open have to be refrigerated.But isn't that how it became cheese in the first place?
Burning Man is indeed a diverse gathering.
I took a little liberty with the "hometown" part of the contest. While BRC is in the same state (Nevada), it is about a 500 mile drive for me. However, you will often hear a burner say they are going home and when you get to the gate you are greeted with "welcome home!" So not exactly my backyard but still "home" in another sense.
Then again, it is hard to find diversity here in Las Vegas. Wait, wut?
Thanks for taking the time to judge this weeks competition.
Never knew this existed. This is awesome!
Welcome. Watch for the new theme to be posted in a day or two. We hope you participate.
Okay folks, the day got away from me, sorry for that. I'll be back as quickly as I can with comments and the ever hard to do judging.

If I ever make it to the UK, this is a spot I want to check out. I like all the people in this image, but would have loved to actually see the diversity of stalls, all I get from this one is a couple of fellas checking out their next possible crossdressing outfits! I jest! But I do have to wonder about the fella walking out of frame with the giant staff in hand...
As I said before, Nathan, you get brownie points for having a political statement going on here! Cool POV here from down low like that and the focus is exactly where it needs to be, on the sign. I can still make out all the folks up on the bridge and those on the roadside cheering on whatever the procession was here.
Have to love this fellas enthusiasm and cheerful mug! A cool human observation and interaction. Was he busking?
We have a markets that's in the city here and there's some old stalwarts there too! A good in action capture, highlighting some energy in motion. Love all the cheeses out on display, but none of it's refrigerated!
I love the fishmongers section at the markets in town here, you have a real melting pot of nationalities there to get the days catch! Seems food is the one true international language! I like your POV here and the way it's stretched the perspective of the display case.
If I couldn't just make out a smile on her face, I would have thought that was a pretty deep conversation going on there! I see that the drinks were already flowing! A nice intimate interaction captured there and a cool POV with the lines of the blinds drawing your eye into the scene.
So that's what Al Gore gets up to on his days off!
I love the insinuation of how little power the individual has in the way you have framed this up, Ken. The enormity of the system behind this lone voice in the wilderness and the use of selective colour with the establishment having no emotion through its representation in mono. Very effective and powerful in its own way!
Love it! The mashing together of two cultures in an artistic exploration and expression. I bet all of the participants had a ball with this unique event!
Burning Man is notorious for its explorations of cultural diversity! You must have a ball going off to this every year! It would be a real feast for the senses.
Aah, young love! I remember it well, well through a dreamy haze...
Yep, there's culture in sidewalk chess battles too! Something I'd never seen before. Love the decorations above, hanging off the lamp-post, and the pensive moment you captured with the fella on the lefts hand poised to move like that.
So, on to my decision for this week. Based scientifically on my gut reactions to the images!
3rd: @Nathan King
2nd: @The Bad Guy
1st: @anotherscotsman
Over to you @anotherscotsman for the next round!

Many thanks for the judging Alexander - great comments and testing topic. In the spirit of full disclosure, DC isn't home for me, I'm not even based in the US although I spend a lot of time there. I'm more than happy for you to reconsider the judging to reflect since there are a number of great entries that adhered literally to the theme.
I'm not that much of a pedant to take the gong away from you!
